Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to provide a specially compounded topical cream that contains Hydroquinone 4%, Tretinoin 0.05%, and Fluocinolone Acetonide 0.01%. This unique formulation is designed to address various skin conditions such as melasma, acne, and eczema.

Hydroquinone is a potent skin-lightening agent that functions by inhibiting the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. This results in a lighter skin tone and helps in the reduction of hyperpigmentation caused by conditions like melasma.

Tretinoin, a topical retinoid, is known for its effectiveness in reducing the appearance of wrinkles and acne. It works by promoting the turnover of skin cells, thereby improving the texture and appearance of the skin.

Fluocinolone Acetonide, a corticosteroid, is included in the formulation for its anti-inflammatory properties. It helps to alleviate inflammation and itching associated with various skin conditions, providing relief and promoting healing.

When combined, these three active ingredients work synergistically to reduce the symptoms of melasma, acne, and eczema. Additionally, this formulation can help improve skin tone and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, contributing to healthier and more youthful-looking skin.

This semisolid preparation is dispensed in a pump mechanism, designed for convenient and controlled application on the skin. This ensures localized treatment or absorption of the active ingredients, providing targeted relief and results.

If you have any queries about this formulation or how it can assist in treating your specific skin condition, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team is committed to helping you find the most effective treatment for your skin.
