Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present a specialized topical cream formulation that combines Hydroquinone 4%, Niacinamide 4%, Tretinoin 0.05%, and Fluocinolone Acetonide 0.01%. This unique blend of active ingredients is specifically designed to address a range of skin conditions, including melasma, acne, and photoaging.

Hydroquinone is a potent skin-lightening agent that functions by inhibiting melanin production, the pigment responsible for skin color. This results in a noticeable reduction in the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation. Niacinamide, a powerful antioxidant, works to decrease inflammation and enhance skin tone, contributing to a more even and radiant complexion.

Tretinoin, a form of retinoid, is known for its ability to diminish the visibility of wrinkles and fine lines. It also aids in the reduction of acne, promoting smoother, clearer skin. Fluocinolone Acetonide, a type of corticosteroid, is included in the formulation for its capacity to alleviate inflammation and redness, providing relief for irritated skin.

This comprehensive blend of active ingredients offers a multifaceted approach to skin care. It not only targets the symptoms of melasma, acne, and photoaging but also delivers anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. This results in healthier, more youthful-looking skin.

If you have any inquiries about this formulation or how it can be beneficial in treating your specific skin condition, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team is committed to assisting you in finding the most effective skin care solutions tailored to your needs.
