Hydroquinone is used to lighten the dark-colored patches of skin (also called melasma, liver spots, age spots, freckles) caused by pregnancy, birth control pills, hormone medicine, or injury to the skin. This product also contains sunscreens to help prevent these spots from re-occurring due to sunlight or ultraviolet light exposure. This medicine works by blocking the chemical process (enzymes) in the skin that leads to discoloration.
