Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present a unique topical gel formulation of Hydroquinone 7%/Kojic Acid 0.05%/Tretinoin 0.05%/Hydrocortisone 0.05%. This innovative formulation is specifically designed to address a range of skin conditions, including hyperpigmentation, melasma, and acne.

Hydroquinone is a potent skin-lightening agent that functions by inhibiting the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. Kojic acid, a natural skin-lightening agent, works similarly by inhibiting the production of tyrosinase, an enzyme crucial in melanin production. Tretinoin, a topical retinoid, aids in reducing the appearance of wrinkles, acne, and other signs of aging. Hydrocortisone, an anti-inflammatory agent, assists in reducing redness and irritation.

This unique combination of active ingredients offers a powerful solution for hyperpigmentation, melasma, and acne. It is designed to help diminish the appearance of dark spots, discoloration, and blemishes, while also providing anti-aging benefits. The semisolid formulation is dispensed through a pump mechanism, facilitating easy and precise application on the skin for targeted treatment or absorption of active ingredients in a gel-like consistency.

If you have any questions about this formulation or how it can help address your skin condition, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are committed to helping you find the most effective treatment tailored to your individual needs.

This compounded formulation of Hydroquinone 7%/Kojic Acid 0.05%/Tretinoin 0.05%/Hydrocortisone 0.05% Topical Gel is a specialized treatment designed for addressing hyperpigmentation, melasma, and other forms of skin discoloration. It is crucial to remember that this formulation should not be applied on broken or irritated skin.

When using this formulation, it is essential to apply a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher and to limit sun exposure. It is also advised to avoid using other skincare products that contain hydroquinone, kojic acid, tretinoin, or hydrocortisone to prevent potential interactions or adverse reactions.

If you have any questions or concerns about this formulation or its application, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information. It is always important to use such specialized treatments under the guidance of a healthcare professional to ensure safety and efficacy.
