Epiquin Micro is primarily used to treat hyperpigmentation disorders including melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, age spots (solar lentigines), freckles, and uneven skin tone caused by excessive melanin production.
As a topical skin-lightening agent, Epiquin Micro works by reducing the production of melanin in the skin through inhibition of the enzyme tyrosinase, which is involved in melanin synthesis.
