How Hydroquinone + Mometasone + Tretinoin works

  • Hydroquinone is a depigmentation agent with therapeutic properties. It blocks the synthesis of melanin - a substance that produces pigmentation of the skin, hair, and eyes. 
  • Tretinoin is classified as a keratolytic agent. Derived from Vitamin A, it functions as a retinoid metabolite that binds to intracellular receptors within the cytosol and nucleus. It helps detach cornified cells and boost shedding.
  • Mometasone furoate, akin to other topical corticosteroids, possesses anti-inflammatory, anti-pruritic, and vasoconstrictive properties.
