A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial comparing Rumex occidentalis 3% cream with 4% hydroquinone cream in epidermal and mixed melasma in Filipino patients (Mendoza et al) concluded that it “is a safe and effective skin-lightening agent for melasma and is comparable in efficacy with 4% hydroquinone cream.” Rumex Occidentalis Extract has been shown to be effective in reducing the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation, with results being visible after 8 months of daily use.
