How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps

Accessing medical skincare is straightforward and entirely asynchronous. You complete the evaluation on your own schedule from your phone or computer.

1. Complete the medical questionnaire: Answer questions about your skin history, previous pigmentation treatments, and general health.
2. Upload clear photographs: Take well-lit photos of your melasma or hyperpigmentation so the doctor can accurately grade type and severity.
3. Doctor clinical assessment: An EU-licensed doctor reviews your case, medical history, and photos to decide if topical depigmenting treatment is safe and appropriate.
4. Receive your REMPE prescription: When approved, an official digital prescription PDF appears in your secure account in under 24 hours, ready to present at any pharmacy.

Who qualifies

Topical Hydroquinone is a regulated prescription treatment reserved for specific hyperpigmentation disorders. It is not an over-the-counter cosmetic lightener.

• Eligible conditions: Mild to moderate melasma, epidermal hyperpigmentation, and persistent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
• Topical suitability: Patients looking for targeted nightly therapy who can commit to strict daily photoprotection.
• Who is not eligible: Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, anyone with active skin infections, or patients with suspicious, undiagnosed pigmented lesions.
• Referral boundary: Severe, nodular, cystic, or scarring dermatological conditions and cases requiring oral medications are referred to in-person clinical care.

What Hydroquinone actually does

Hydroquinone works by inhibiting tyrosinase, the rate-limiting enzyme responsible for converting L-tyrosine into melanin. By halting excess melanin production in overactive melanocytes, it gradually lightens existing dark patches and prevents new pigment from depositing.

Visible lightening typically begins between weeks 4 and 8 of nightly application, with peak results observed around week 12. Hydroquinone is prescribed in defined cycles—usually 3 to 4 months—rather than used indefinitely. Because melasma is a chronic condition driven by UV and visible light, broad-spectrum SPF 50+ containing iron oxides is mandatory every single day. Without photoprotection, melasma relapses rapidly.

Side effects and when to stop

Mild redness, peeling, dryness, and a transient stinging sensation are common during the first few weeks of therapy. You can manage mild irritation by applying a basic barrier moisturiser.

Stop using the treatment and notify your medical team if you experience severe erythema, blistering, intense burning, or darkening of the treated area. Prolonged, unmonitored use over many months carries a rare risk of exogenous ochronosis (permanent blue-black pigmentation). Always adhere to the prescribed cycle length.
