Research Summary

Hydroquinone is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C6H6O2. It is a phenol derivative and is widely used in skincare products for its skin-lightening properties. Hydroquinone functions by inhibiting the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. Due to its depigmenting effects, hydroquinone is commonly used to treat skin conditions such as hyperpigmentation, dark spots, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It is available in various formulations, including creams, lotions, and gels. It's important to note that the use of hydroquinone in skincare is regulated in some countries due to concerns about potential side effects, and it should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Common side effects may include skin irritation, and prolonged or high concentrations of hydroquinone may lead to adverse effects, so its use should be monitored carefully.
