Unveil even skin with Hydroquinone

Tretinoin is a prescription medication belonging to a class called retinoids. Consult with your healthcare provider about potential benefits and risks.

Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3.  It reduces inflammation and helps with the production of ceramides (which are like the bricks that build your skin barrier).  Additionally, it improves the smoothness of your skin and reduces dark spots. It’s a true skincare multitasker!

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in your body that’s great at retaining moisture. Think of it as a hydration superhero for your skin. When used in skincare products, it helps keep your skin plump, hydrated, and youthful by attracting and holding onto water molecules.  A must for skin care!

Hydroquinone is a prescription skin ingredient. Consult with your healthcare provider about its use and potential effects.

Hydrocortisone is a topical, mild steroid that helps reduce inflammation, swelling, redness and itching.  An added boost if needed!

Tretinoin has a few precautions that you should be aware of.  A brief sensation of warmth or stinging may occur immediately after applying the medication.  Skin redness, dryness, itching, scaling or mild burning may occur during the first 2-4 weeks of using the medication. These effects usually decrease with continued use.

Topical Niacinamide is generally well-tolerated but may cause mild burning, itching, or redness.

Hyaluronic acid is generally well-tolerated since it is already produced in the body. Rarely, a topical allergic reaction may occur.

Common side effects of Hydroquinone include redness, dryness, and irritation. Hydroquinone has the risk of producing a condition called exogenous ochronosis which is a gradual blue-black darkening of the skin. This risk is more common in darker skin types, with use of Hydroquinone strengths greater than 4% and when treatment is prolonged beyond 3 months without breaks in therapy; however, this adverse effect can also develop at any time during treatment with Hydroquinone. The occurrence of any signs of blue-black darkening of the skin should prompt immediate discontinuation of therapy with Hydroquinone. Studies of Hydroquinone in animals have demonstrated some evidence of carcinogenicity, but the carcinogenic potential of Hydroquinone in humans is unknown.

Topical Hydrocortisone may cause burning, itching, irritation, redness or dryness of the skin.
