Hydroquinone USP Cream is a prescription skin-lightening agent that treats hyperpigmentation (dark spots, melasma, freckles) by reducing melanin production, working as a tyrosinase inhibitor, but requires strict sun protection and limited use (often 2-4 months) to prevent paradoxical darkening (exogenous ochronosis) and irritation, often containing 4% hydroquinone with other ingredients like acids or corticosteroids in compounded formulations.
