How to Get Prescription Hydroquinone, Tretinoin & Skin Creams Online
The short answer
Prescription-strength skin creams such as hydroquinone and tretinoin combinations can be prescribed online after a telehealth visit. Vuret offers compounded creams for hyperpigmentation, melasma, keratosis pilaris and hidradenitis suppurativa: you complete an online visit, a U.S.-licensed physician reviews it, and the cream ships in plain packaging if approved.
Vuret's prescription creams

Why prescription strength?
Over-the-counter brighteners and exfoliants help many people, but prescription ingredients like tretinoin and higher-strength hydroquinone aren't available without a prescription. Combining them in one compounded cream also means a simpler routine — one product instead of several.
Safety notes
- Expect some dryness, redness or peeling in the first weeks with tretinoin; your physician can adjust frequency.
- Wear daily broad-spectrum sunscreen — retinoids increase sun sensitivity.
- Hydroquinone and tretinoin are generally not recommended during pregnancy. Tell your physician if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Hydroquinone is typically used in cycles, followed by a maintenance cream.
