Who qualifies

Hydroquinone is a regulated prescription treatment indicated specifically for acquired hyperpigmentation. To request an evaluation, you must:

Editorial still life illustrating Who qualifies
Who qualifies
  • Be an adult (18+) residing in Spain or another European Union member state.
  • Experience epidermal melasma, chloasma, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
  • Provide clear, unedited facial photographs during the questionnaire stage.

Clinical exclusions: Hi-Doctor provides topical treatments only. Hydroquinone is contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Oral isotretinoin, oral antibiotics, suspected dysplastic nevi, melanoma, and severe, nodular, or scarring skin conditions are outside our scope and are referred to in-person care.

What Hydroquinone actually does

Hydroquinone inhibits tyrosinase, the essential rate-limiting enzyme that converts L-tyrosine to melanin within epidermal melanocytes. By blocking melanin synthesis, it halts new dark pigment production while existing pigment sheds naturally over weeks.

Depending on clinical suitability, our doctors may prescribe:

  • Hydroquinone 4% cream (HQUIN): Standard night application for normal to dry skin types.
  • Hydroquinone 4% gel (Licoforte): Lightweight formulation suited for combination or oilier skin.
  • Compounded melasma formula: Hydroquinone 4% + tretinoin 0.025% + kojic acid 2% + niacinamide 4% for dual pigment suppression and accelerated cell turnover.
Treatment PhaseTimelineClinical Objective
AcclimationWeeks 1–4Melanocyte suppression begins; skin adjusts with daily broad-spectrum SPF 50+.
Visible ClearanceWeeks 5–12Peak depigmentation; hyperpigmented patches lighten noticeably.
Cycling PauseWeeks 12–16Mandatory treatment break to prevent adverse pigmentary changes.

Daily broad-spectrum SPF 50+ is mandatory. Ultraviolet and visible light instantly reactivate tyrosinase, negating depigmenting progress. Tinted sunscreens containing iron oxides provide essential protection against visible light that mineral-only filters cannot block. Melasma frequently relapses upon UV exposure, making strict sun management permanent.

Side effects and when to stop

While 4% hydroquinone is widely tolerated during short, structured cycles, local reactions can occur:

  • Common early reactions: Mild redness, stinging, and light peeling during the first 2 to 3 weeks.
  • When to stop: Discontinue use immediately if you develop severe burning, swelling, or contact dermatitis, and contact your doctor.
  • Exogenous ochronosis: A rare blue-black darkening caused by uninterrupted, long-term use. This is why doctors enforce strict 3-month treatment cycles followed by maintenance pauses.
