Formulation

  • Hydroquinone, one of the most effective skin-bleaching agents, is used to lighten areas of darkened skin. This gel contains 4% hydroquinone.
  • Hydroxy acids (glycolic acid and gluconolactone) remove the build-up of dead cells, reducing the darkened surface cells. This gel contains 5% glycolic acid, 5% gluconolactone and an ideal pH for better results.

Tips

If you use the HQ Lightening family, avoid sun exposure; always wear a sunscreen, such as NeoStrata's Oil Free Anti-Aging Sunscreen Lotion. UVA and UVB rays will cause hyperpigmentation to reappear, even after a successful treatment.
