1. Complete the medical questionnaire: Answer focused questions regarding your skin type, previous treatments, and sun exposure habits in Marbella's coastal climate.
2. Upload clear skin photographs: Provide well-lit, close-up photos of your hyperpigmentation so the doctor can accurately grade type and severity.
3. Clinical doctor assessment: An EU-licensed doctor reviews your file within 24 hours and determines if topical depigmenting therapy is safe and clinically suitable.
4. Download your REMPE prescription: If approved, download your official prescription PDF with a central validation QR code to present at any local pharmacy.

Who qualifies

Hydroquinone is a medical-grade depigmenting agent prescribed for specific forms of acquired hyperpigmentation. It is not an over-the-counter cosmetic lightening cream and requires clinical evaluation to prevent adverse tissue changes.

You may be eligible for a prescription if you present with:

• Epidermal or mixed melasma: Symmetrical brown patches across the forehead, cheeks, or upper lip.
• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH): Dark marks remaining after resolved acne blemishes or superficial skin trauma.
• Adult skin: Non-pregnant, non-breastfeeding adults seeking a targeted topical course.

Hi-Doctor's doctors evaluate candidates for topical formulations including Hydroquinone 4% cream (HQUIN), Hydroquinone 4% gel (Licoforte), and a compounded melasma formula containing hydroquinone 4%, tretinoin 0.025%, kojic acid 2%, and niacinamide 4%. Severe scarring, suspicious pigmented lesions, or requests for oral isotretinoin and oral antibiotics are out of scope and referred directly to in-person clinical care.

What Hydroquinone actually does

Hydroquinone works by inhibiting tyrosinase, the rate-limiting enzyme responsible for producing melanin in melanocytes. By blocking this pathway, the skin gradually sheds existing hyperpigmented cells while slowing the creation of new pigment.

Over 50,000 patients have accessed clinical consultations through Hi-Doctor, supported by an independent 4.8/5 Trustpilot rating.

Depigmentation is not immediate. Most patients notice visible lightening after 4 to 8 weeks of consistent nightly application, with optimal results typically assessed around week 12. Because UV and visible light rapidly reactivate tyrosinase, applying a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen daily is a non-negotiable part of the treatment. In sunny locations like Marbella, tinted mineral sunscreens containing iron oxides are strongly advised to shield against visible high-energy light.

Treatment Option	Primary Actives	Typical Course	Key Consideration
Hydroquinone 4% Cream / Gel	Hydroquinone 4%	8 to 12 weeks	Applied at night; strict cycling required
Compounded Melasma Formula	Hydroquinone 4% + Tretinoin 0.025% + Kojic Acid 2% + Niacinamide 4%	8 to 12 weeks	Enhanced cell turnover; higher sensitivity risk
Maintenance Photoprotection	Broad-Spectrum SPF 50+ & Iron Oxides	Continuous daily use	Essential to prevent rapid melasma relapse

Melasma is a chronic condition that can relapse following unprotected sun exposure or hormonal shifts. Treatments are prescribed in defined cycles rather than indefinite regimens to protect skin integrity.

Side effects and when to stop

While Hydroquinone is widely used under clinical guidance, localized skin reactions can occur during the initial adaptation phase.

Common, manageable reactions include mild skin dryness, localized peeling, temporary redness, and mild stinging upon application. These effects often subside as your skin builds tolerance or when a gentle barrier-repair moisturizer is used.

You should discontinue application and contact a doctor if you experience:

• Severe contact dermatitis, intense burning, or blistering.
• Swelling of the face, eyelids, or treated areas.
• Paradoxical blue-black darkening of the skin (a rare sign of exogenous ochronosis, linked to unmonitored long-term usage).
