Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Hydroquinone 6%/Tretinoin 0.12%/Triamcinolone 0.12% Topical Ointment is a specially compounded medication designed to address a range of skin conditions. This semi-solid formulation is dispensed in a tube and is intended for external application to the skin. The greasy or oily base of the ointment aids in the effective delivery of the therapeutic agents for localized treatment.

The formulation combines three potent active ingredients: hydroquinone, tretinoin, and triamcinolone. Hydroquinone is a skin-lightening agent that functions by inhibiting the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. This makes it effective in treating conditions like melasma and reducing the appearance of age spots.

Tretinoin, a topical retinoid, is known for its ability to diminish the appearance of wrinkles and acne. It works by promoting the turnover of skin cells, thereby improving the texture and tone of the skin. Triamcinolone, a corticosteroid, is included in the formulation for its anti-inflammatory properties. It helps to alleviate itching and reduce inflammation, making it beneficial for conditions such as eczema.

This combination of ingredients makes the Hydroquinone 6%/Tretinoin 0.12%/Triamcinolone 0.12% Topical Ointment a versatile treatment option for a variety of skin conditions. It should be applied to the affected area twice daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional. As with any medication, patients should be monitored for any potential adverse reactions.

At Bayview Pharmacy, we take pride in offering this compounded medication to our patients. Our compounding pharmacist is well-versed in the formulation and can provide comprehensive information and answer any questions you may have.
