Obagi Nu Derm with hydroquinone is no longer sold in Massachusetts. Any suggestions?

Question

Obagi Nu Derm with hydroquinone is no longer sold in Massachusetts. I do have a prescription for hydroquinone. If I use the Obagi FX and combine with hydroquinone will it have the same efficacy?

I would use the Melarase PM and Melarase AM system to lighten the skin. Topical skin lighteners work well by inhibiting tyrosinase activity. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

Given the pushback to have these available in some states, I recommend the use of a Brightening Kit which has Melarase, Elevase Opti-Ceramide creams, among others. This maintenance program is effective for relieving PIH. Hratch L Karamanoukian MD FACS
