About A Ret-HC: A Ret-HC (Hydroquinone/Tretinoin/Hydrocortisone Acetate) is a medicine that is used to treat conditions related to skin hyperpigmentation. The cream, which is a triple combination of active ingredients is also used to lighten the skin. Its main method of action is through reduction of the amount of different pigments in the skin such as melanin. This automatically improves darkened skin by lightening it and also helps to treat conditions such as senile lentigines, freckles, chloasma, age spots and melasma which is skin damage caused by the sun. Hydroquinone, one of the active ingredients in this cream is popularly used in different cosmetic products. It is highly preferred because of its ability to effectively whiten the skin through decreasing the skin color. This it does through interfering with the production of melanin, a pigment that darkens the skin. In the process, hydroquinone helps in bleaching the skin as well as removal of dark spots in the skin.
