Formulation

  • Hydroquinone, one of the most effective skin-bleaching agents, is used to lighten areas of darkened skin. This gel contains 2% hydroquinone.
  • Glycolic acid is the AHA of choice. Its small molecular size makes it effective in removing the build-up of dead cells on the surface of the skin. This gel contains 10% glycolic acid, the highest allowed, 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.
