How it works
Hydroquinone bleaches the skin by reducing the accumulation of skin pigment called melanin that causes darkening of the skin. It interferes with the synthesis of melanin and hampers important processes within cells that produce melanin (melanocytes). The bleaching effect of hydroquinone is reversible (reversible depigmentation). Tretinoin is a form of vitamin A and belongs to a group of medicines called ‘retinoids’. It helps the skin renew itself and works by slowing the growth of certain types of diseased blood cells. Hydrocortisone belongs to a group of medicines called corticost***ds. It prevents and treats allergic and inflammatory reactions by decreasing the number of blood cells that cause inflammation and allergy.
