Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy's Hydroquinone 8%/Hydrocortisone 1%/Tretinoin 0.025% Topical Gel is a specially compounded medication designed to address a range of skin conditions. This unique formulation combines the power of three active ingredients, each with its own specific benefits, to provide a comprehensive treatment for hyperpigmentation, melasma, and other skin discolorations.

Hydroquinone, the first active ingredient, is a potent skin-lightening agent. It works by inhibiting the production of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. This action helps to lighten areas of the skin affected by hyperpigmentation, leading to a more even skin tone.

The second active ingredient, Hydrocortisone, is an anti-inflammatory steroid. It helps to reduce redness and swelling associated with various skin conditions, providing relief from discomfort and improving the appearance of the skin.

The third active ingredient, Tretinoin, is a topical retinoid. It is known for its ability to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, promoting a smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

This Hydroquinone 8%/Hydrocortisone 1%/Tretinoin 0.025% Topical Gel is a semisolid formulation dispensed through a pump mechanism. This design facilitates easy and precise application on the skin, ensuring targeted treatment and optimal absorption of the active ingredients. The gel-like consistency allows for a smooth application, without leaving a heavy or greasy residue.

For best results, patients should apply the gel to the affected area twice daily. Noticeable improvements can typically be seen within 4-6 weeks of consistent use. As with any skincare treatment, results may vary based on individual skin type and condition.

If you have any questions about this formulation or how it can be used to treat your specific skin conditions, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of experienced compounding pharmacists is always ready to assist and provide the information you need.

However, it is not recommended for individuals with sensitive skin or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

When using this topical gel, it is crucial to avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. Sun exposure should also be minimized, and a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher should be used in conjunction with this product to protect the skin.

How Does it Work

Hydroquinone 8%/Hydrocortisone 1%/Tretinoin 0.025% Topical Gel is a compounded formulation designed to address the symptoms of melasma, a skin condition that results in dark, discolored patches on the face. This unique combination of active ingredients works synergistically to lighten the skin, reduce inflammation and irritation, and improve the overall texture of the skin.

The Hydroquinone component acts as a skin-lightening agent, working to gradually fade the dark patches caused by melasma. Hydrocortisone, a corticosteroid, helps to reduce inflammation and irritation that can often accompany skin conditions. Tretinoin, a form of vitamin A, aids in the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, while also enhancing the overall texture and appearance of the skin.

This topical gel is dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application. To use, apply a thin layer of the gel to the affected area twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. The gel should be gently massaged into the skin until it is fully absorbed. It is important to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth, and to wash your hands thoroughly after application.

It's crucial to understand that the effects of this medication may not be immediately noticeable. It may take several weeks of consistent use before improvements are seen. If no improvement is observed after 8 weeks of use, it is recommended to consult with your healthcare provider.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the use of Hydroquinone 8%/Hydrocortisone 1%/Tretinoin 0.025% Topical Gel, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are committed to ensuring you receive the maximum benefit from your medication.
