This unique formulation combines the potent effects of hydroquinone, hydrocortisone, and tretinoin, each contributing to the overall efficacy of the product.

Hydroquinone, a powerful skin-lightening agent, works by inhibiting the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. This makes it an effective treatment for conditions like melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Tretinoin, a derivative of vitamin A, is renowned for its ability to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, promoting a smoother, more youthful complexion.

This topical gel is dispensed through a pump mechanism, ensuring easy and precise application. The semisolid formulation allows for targeted treatment, facilitating optimal absorption of the active ingredients. Its gel-like consistency ensures a comfortable application experience, making it suitable for regular use.

Whether you're dealing with melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, acne, or simply wish to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, this compounded formulation could be an effective solution. The combination of hydroquinone, hydrocortisone, and tretinoin works synergistically to reduce inflammation, lighten skin, and promote a smoother, more even skin tone.
