Bayview Pharmacy's Hydroquinone 6%/Kojic Acid 4%/Ascorbic Acid 5% Topical Lotion is a specially compounded medication designed to address a range of skin conditions. This formulation is a liquid or semi-liquid preparation intended for external application to the skin. It offers a smooth and spreadable consistency, providing moisturizing, soothing, or therapeutic effects for specific skin conditions, while promoting absorption of active ingredients for localized treatment.

The active ingredients in this formulation include Hydroquinone, a skin-lightening agent that works by reducing the production of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color.

Ascorbic acid, also known as Vitamin C, is another antioxidant that helps protect the skin from environmental damage and reduce inflammation.

This formulation is particularly effective in treating hyperpigmentation, melasma, and other skin discolorations. It can also be used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and to protect the skin from environmental damage. It is important to note that this medication can make the skin more sensitive to the sun, so it is recommended to use a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 when using this lotion.

When using this formulation, it is crucial to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
