This site provides education, not diagnosis, personal treatment or a prescription. Hydroquinone 8% cream is a compounded prescription medicine, and the FDA says compounded drugs are not FDA approved. FDA-approved hydroquinone products are different, lower-strength products. A licensed provider decides whether a hydroquinone product is appropriate for you and chooses the strength and course. Approval is not guaranteed. Talk to a qualified clinician about your situation, especially if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, have sensitive skin, or notice a new or changing dark spot or mole, and tell them about every product you use on your skin.
