Topical gel that reduces the colour of small dark spots that occasionally appear on the skin.
Contains 30 gr.
This brand is owned by Cantabria Labs.
It is a gel formulated with hydroquinone as the active ingredient, which acts by gradually reducing the production of excess melanin that causes dark spots on the skin.
It is indicated for the reduction of the colour of small dark spots that occasionally appear on the skin, such as freckles and age spots.
It is indicated for adults and children over 12 years of age.
Wash and dry the affected area of the skin beforehand and then apply a small amount of product twice a day (morning and evening). Use exclusively on the blemish until the desired effect is achieved. Several weeks of treatment may be necessary.
It is important to wash your hands with soap after applying the product, as hydroquinone can cause brown spots on the nails, which disappear with time.
Do not use this product for more than 6 months.
If no improvement is observed after 2 months of treatment, discontinue treatment and consult a doctor.
Do not use Licostrata:
If you are allergic to hydroquinone or any of the excipients.
On open wounds, irritated skin, mucous membranes or sunburn.
If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, unless prescribed by a doctor.
