Meloquin Hydroquinone 4% Cream – 20g
This product contains hydroquinone at 4%, as stated plainly on its pack. At this concentration hydroquinone is classified as a medicine and dispensed on prescription in most countries, and it is banned outright in cosmetics in the European Union and restricted in many other countries.
Do not use it on your own initiative, and not as a daily brightening routine. It is used on a dermatologist's prescription and under their supervision only, for specific pigmentation conditions the doctor diagnoses, on small areas, and for a short, defined period (usually a few weeks, not months) with follow-up.
The risks of uncontrolled hydroquinone use:
• Exogenous ochronosis — a permanent blue-grey discolouration of the skin that is very hard to treat, seen especially with prolonged use and on darker skin
• Irritation, burning and redness
• Uneven skin tone and unnaturally pale patches
• Rebound pigmentation when you stop
Sunscreen is mandatory for the whole time you use it; without it the result is the exact opposite of what you wanted. Do not use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, do not use on children, do not use over large areas, and do not use on irritated or broken skin. Do not combine it with other brightening products, acids or vitamin A derivatives unless your doctor tells you to.
If what you want is a product to care for your skin's radiance, this is not the product — see a dermatologist. Keep out of reach of children.
● About This Product
Meloquin Cream is an Egyptian topical preparation in a 20g pack, clearly marked on the pack as Hydroquinone 4%. Hydroquinone is a substance that suppresses the production of melanin pigment in the skin, and dermatologists use it for specific pigmentation conditions such as melasma and marks left behind by inflammation — but on prescription, for a defined period and with follow-up. It is also one of the most misused substances in the region within brightening products, and that uncontrolled use is the reason for the cases of permanent discolouration (ochronosis) that dermatologists see. The decision to use it has to be a medical one, not a personal one.

● What You Should Know
Hydroquinone is a genuinely powerful active — and that is precisely why it is dangerous when used without supervision. It works by suppressing pigment production in the skin, the result really does show, and that is what draws people to it and keeps them using it for long months. The problem is that prolonged use can lead to exogenous ochronosis: a permanent blue-grey discolouration of the skin that is extremely difficult to treat — so a product bought to fade dark spots ends in worse and more lasting pigmentation. That is why the medical rule is clear: a short period, a limited area, a doctor's supervision and daily sunscreen without exception. Any decision to use it belongs to your dermatologist, not to you.
