How does this product work?

ZO Pigment Control Crème 2% HQ works by reducing the production of melanin, the pigment that gives your skin its colour and causes dark spots.

  • Inhibits melanin production: 2% hydroquinone helps slow the process that creates excess pigment.
  • Fades dark spots: Over time, it helps lighten hyperpigmentation, melasma, and sunspots.
  • Evens skin tone: As excess pigmentation fades, your complexion can look brighter and more uniform.
  • Prevents further darkening: When combined with daily broad-spectrum SPF 30–50 sunscreen, it helps protect results from UV exposure.
What skin types is this product best for?

ZO Pigment Control Crème 2% HQ is suitable for normal, oily, combination, and dry skin types experiencing hyperpigmentation, dark spots, melasma, or uneven skin tone.

How do I use this product?

Apply a thin, even layer to the face in the evening as part of your PM skincare routine, following your skincare professional’s instructions. Avoid the eye and lip areas. Follow with moisturizer as needed, and apply broad-spectrum SPF 30–50 sunscreen every morning.

‍

Do I use this AM or PM?
Will I experience any side effects when using this product?

ZO Pigment Control Crème 2% HQ may cause mild redness, dryness, peeling, stinging, or irritation, especially when first introduced. Overuse may increase sensitivity, and irritation can sometimes worsen hyperpigmentation. Avoid the eye area and use daily broad-spectrum sunscreen. Discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional if severe irritation or swelling occurs.

How long does it take to see results?

You may start to see improvements in 4–6 weeks, with more noticeable results typically appearing after 8–12 weeks of consistent use. The timeline depends on the severity and depth of the pigmentation, as deeper discoloration and melasma can take longer to fade. Hydroquinone works gradually by reducing melanin production, so existing pigment needs time to become less noticeable as the skin renews itself. Daily sunscreen is essential to prevent UV exposure from causing further darkening.

Can I use this if I have sensitive skin?

ZO Pigment Control Crème 2% HQ may be used by some people with sensitive skin, but caution is recommended as hydroquinone can cause redness, dryness, peeling, and irritation. It is best to consult a skincare professional before use and introduce it as directed.
