Pidobenzone, an amino acid ester of hydroquinone, is a second-generation worldwide patented depigmenting agent, reliable and free of collateral risks. Pidobenzone 4% lipogel represents a useful, reliable, and safe treatment of the different types of melasma. No data are available regarding the efficacy of pidobenzone as monotherapy for solar lentigines. The combination of cryotherapy and pidobenzone 4% has been found to be the most useful treatment of solar lentigines and the prevention of eventual posttreatment hyperchromia.
