Hydroquinone cream

]Hydroquinone is a very safe and effective cream which corrects excessive skin pigmentation. It is used both as a medicine and cosmetic cream. It is widely used as an ingredient in many top brand face creams at vastly inflated prices to cover marketing costs and to maintain a luxury image.

Use a high factor sun block whilst using hydroquinone.

Do not use if you are or trying to become pregnant or are breastfeeding.

How does hydroquinone work?

Our skins pigment is caused by melanin which is made inside melanocytes by the enzyme tyrosinase. Hydroquinone inhibits the production of tyrosinase so in effect hydroquinone puts the colour producing cells to sleep.

Because of hydroquinone’s depigmentation effects it can be used to treat a wide variety of conditions from acne scars and freckles to pregnancy induced melasma and vitiligo.

When can I expect to see some results with hydroquinone?

You will see some skin lightening after four weeks but the best results will be seen after two to three months. The cream will work better if you stay out of the sun and wear sun screen and protective clothing.

How To Use?

Test on a small area first, wait 24 hours, if no adverse reaction, it is safe to use.

Clean and dry the area

Apply a small pea sized amount avoiding the eyes.

If applying sun block as well, wait several minutes. Not using sunscreen increases the risk of skin darkening.

Apply twice a day until you get the desired effect then you may reduce to once a day.

Use for four months then take a four month break and then continue for the next four months.
