Who qualifies

Hydroquinone is a prescription-only depigmenting agent indicated for melasma. The online consultation assesses your suitability based on clinical presentation, contraindications, and medical safety parameters.

Editorial still life illustrating Who qualifies
Who qualifies

You may qualify if you present with:

  • Centrofacial or malar melasma: Symmetrical brown or grey-brown patches across the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, or bridge of the nose.
  • Mandibular melasma: Hyperpigmentation distributed along the jawline and lower face.
  • Epidermal or mixed melasma: Superficial or combined pigment patterns confirmed by medical photo assessment.

Topical Hydroquinone is contraindicated if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Patients presenting with suspicious pigmented lesions, atypical moles, active eczema, or severe nodular, cystic, or scarring skin conditions are not eligible for online care and are referred directly to in-person medical evaluation.

What Hydroquinone actually does

Hydroquinone is a potent competitive inhibitor of tyrosinase, the rate-limiting enzyme responsible for converting L-tyrosine into melanin inside melanocytes. By inhibiting tyrosinase activity and accelerating melanosome degradation, it reduces pigment density across active melasma patches.

Clinical studies demonstrate significant pigment reduction within 8 to 12 weeks of continuous topical application when combined with strict daily photoprotection.

Dark patches that darken every summer?

Upload photos with your questionnaire and an EU-licensed doctor decides whether a prescription depigmenting treatment is appropriate, alongside the daily SPF that does most of the work. €40 one-off, answer in under 24 hours.

Depending on clinical assessment, our doctors may prescribe:

  • Hydroquinone 4% cream (HQUIN) or 4% gel (Licoforte): Single-agent formulation applied sparingly to pigmented areas once daily at night.
  • Compounded melasma formula: A modified Kligman-style topical preparation containing hydroquinone 4%, tretinoin 0.025%, kojic acid 2%, and niacinamide 4% to enhance cellular turnover and penetration.

Hydroquinone is prescribed in defined treatment cycles (typically 8 to 12 weeks) rather than used indefinitely, followed by a mandatory maintenance break to reduce the risk of rebound hyperpigmentation. Daily broad-spectrum SPF 50+ photoprotection is mandatory because ultraviolet and visible light reactivate melanocytes; tinted formulations with iron oxides help block visible light wavelengths that standard mineral filters miss.

Side effects and when to stop

Most side effects are local and transient, especially during the initial two to four weeks of treatment as skin adapts to active cell turnover.

  • Common reactions: Mild erythema, localized peeling, dryness, and a brief stinging sensation upon application.
  • Managing irritation: Apply a barrier-repair moisturizer 20 minutes after Hydroquinone, or reduce application frequency to alternate nights.
  • When to stop: Discontinue use immediately if you develop severe burning, swelling, allergic contact dermatitis, or unusual blue-black darkening (a rare sign of exogenous ochronosis, associated with prolonged unmonitored use).
