Hydroquinone cream is a prescription-only treatment, prescribed by our Doctors and Nurse Prescribers at Pose. A skin assessment is required for all clients prior to prescription. This can be easily added to your booking.

Hydroquinone cream is a prescription-strength skin-lightening agent most commonly used to treat hyperpigmentation.

Benefits of hydroquinone cream

Hydroquinone is considered the gold standard for treating excess pigment because it:

Lightens dark spots and patches
Treats melasma
Improves post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) (from acne, injury, or procedures)

Helps fade sun spots, age spots, and freckles

Produces faster and more predictable results than many non-prescription brightening agents

Results are typically seen in 4–8 weeks with proper use.

Why hydroquinone works so well with Pico laser ✨

Pico laser targets pigment by shattering melanin into tiny particles that the body can clear. Hydroquinone complements this process in several important ways:

1. Prevents rebound pigmentation
2. Enhances laser results
3. Can we used as 3. Pre- and post-laser skin prep /conditioning

Use only under medical guidance
Typically limited to 8–12 weeks of continuous use
Must be paired with strict sun protection (SPF 30–50+)
Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding
