Key points
- Hydroquinone reduces melanin formation in treated areas of hyperpigmented skin.
- Melasma care also relies on sun protection, because ultraviolet and visible light can worsen pigmentation.
- Labels warn about irritation and rare ochronosis, a blue-black darkening that requires the product to be stopped and clinically assessed.
Common questions about Hydroquinone
Why does Melacare Forte combine hydroquinone with two other active ingredients?
Dermatology guidance distinguishes single-ingredient hydroquinone from multi-ingredient creams for melasma. Melacare Forte adds 0.1% tretinoin and 0.025% mometasone furoate alongside 4% hydroquinone in a 25 g tube, forming a triple-combination cream.
Eukroma Cream is listed for more than melasma. What else does it cover?
Eukroma Cream is listed for chloasma and postinflammatory hyperpigmentation in addition to melasma. Melacare Forte is listed for melasma alone. Both products sit under the Skin Care category.
