Warnings:
Please refer to the program kit box or product container for cautions and warnings.
- These products will make you more sun-sensitive so be sure to use a sunscreen during the day.
- These products will also cause some anticipated reactions (flaking, redness & sensitivity) – these are good signs of repair and will dissipate as skin becomes stronger and more tolerant of the product.
- Hydroquinone products (such as Pigment Control Creme & Pigment Control & Blending Creme) should not be used for more than 6 months (3 months daily use + 3 months later weaning off). Take at least a 2 month break then you can resume using the Hydroquinone products again if needed.
- Please do not spot treat with the hydroquinone products but rather apply these products all over the skin evenly and not just to the affected pigmented areas.
- You should never stop using Hydroquinone products abruptly but rather wean off them slowly to prevent rebound pigmentation.
Weaning off Hydroquinone products protocol:
- Use Hydroquinone products daily for 3 months and wean off over the next 3 months as you transition to Non-Hydroquinone products.
- Month 6: you should now be only using Non-Hydroquinone products.
