DESCRIPTION
How Hydroquinone Works to Treat Melasma & Pigmentation
Hydroquinone is a gold-standard ingredient for treating:
This medical-grade ingredient blocks tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin production. Over time, dark patches gradually fade, revealing a smoother, more even complexion.
However, using hydroquinone incorrectly can lead to irritation, sensitivity, and rebound pigmentation. To avoid these issues, it’s essential to follow a professional treatment plan.
