Skin Bleaching
(Hydroquinone & Non-Hydroquinone Options)
What is skin bleaching?
This is when patches of your skin become darker than the surrounding areas due to excess melanin.
How to Tell If You Have It
- Dark spots left from acne or skin injury
- Melasma (patchy pigmentation often on the cheeks, forehead, or upper lip)
- Dark knees, elbows, or underarms
- Uneven tone or sun spots
Why It Happens
Hormones, sun exposure, aging, and skin trauma can all trigger melanin overproduction.
How We Help
We offer personalized prescription formulas for skin brightening — whether you prefer traditional hydroquinone or steroid-free, plant-based alternatives.
What to Expect
Depending on your skin type and needs, your provider may recommend a compound that includes hydroquinone, kojic acid, azelaic acid, or other pigment-regulating ingredients.
