Gradual whitening effect on excessive pigmentation (blemishes, freckles, etc.)
This medication is used to treat excessive pigmentation such as blemishes, freckles, age spots, etc. It gradually improves skin pigmentation issues caused by excessive melanin accumulation, making the skin bright and even. Such pigmentation can occur due to aging skin or exposure to ultraviolet light, and this medication effectively alleviates it. It helps to even out skin tone and lighten unwanted pigmented areas, making it a suitable treatment for those troubled by pigmentation.
As hydroquinone, apply 2% to the affected area 1-2 times a day (morning, before bedtime).
This medication has a whitening effect on the skin, and exposure to sunlight may cause discoloration or side effects, so it is crucial to avoid sunlight and apply sunscreen or wear protective clothing during use.
