Hydroquinone is an organic compound commonly used in skincare products for its skin-lightening properties. It works by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase, which is involved in melanin production, helping to reduce hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and uneven skin tone. Hydroquinone is widely used in treatments for conditions like melasma, freckles, and age spots. However, it should be used with caution and under medical supervision, as prolonged use or high concentrations may lead to side effects such as skin irritation or ochronosis (a bluish-black discoloration).
