Skin Lightening Products
What Products Are Best For Skin Lightening
At MaxAesthetics we utilize medical grade customized skin bleaching products and skin lightening products formulated with Hydroquinone, botanicals, acids, vitamins and moisturizers for the prevention and reversal of hyperpigmentation, melasma, acne blemishes or dark spots. Achieving a healthy glow with an even complexion is possible with the right skin lightening products.
We offer a range of brightening products including facial skin-lightening creams, as well as body lightening creams, to improve hyperpigmentation and even-out the skin tone.
The 2% strength is the highest strength hydroquinone skin lightening product sold over the counter.
Over the counter strength creams do however tend to be less effective at skin lightening or skin bleaching and is better used as a maintenance option. Hydroquinone products at 3- 4% or higher are more effective for skin lightening, but can be irritating to some skin types.
For this reason medical grade skin bleaching or skin lightening products with 4% Hydroquinone or higher should not be continuously used for more than 4 to 6 months at a time.
What is the Recommended and Proper Way To Use Skin Brightening Products?
It is recommended that you take intermittent breaks from hydroquinone product use for about 60-90 days. The breaks from use of Hydroquinone will prevent your skin from becoming immune to the lightening products ingredients and prevent the chance of irritation and will allow your skin to respond well when you resume use of the brightening products.

How To Properly Store Hydroquinone Skin Lightening Creams?
Hydroquinone products are best kept sealed and stored in the refrigerator, so as to maintain potency and efficacy and is best used within six to twelve months. Combining Hydroquinone products with other skin lightening agents such as Alpha Hydroxy Acids and tretinoin will enhance the lightening or bleaching effects.
Are There Side Effects Of Using Hydroquinone Skin Bleaching Products?
Side effects of hydroquinone skin bleaching products include irritation, possible allergic reactions, that may present as itching, post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation (dark spots) especially if you are exposed to sunlight without sunscreen, and temporary lightening or de-pigmentation of treated and surrounding skin. These side effects are temporary and will resolve upon stopping usage of the Hydroquinone product. Another possible but rare side effect known as ochronosis may occur with long term use of hydroquinone. Ochronosis is a permanent grey or blue-black discoloration which may occur in very dark-skinned or African American patients after prolonged use of an HQ bleaching product stronger than 3%.

What is the Best Way to Use Hydroquinone Skin Lightening Products For a Great Result?
As we have already mentioned above, long-term use of medical strength skin lightening products 4% or higher should be avoided. It is best to use such products for the length of time your skincare professional recommends based on your type of hyperpigmentation, then switch to a lower strength skin-lightening product for maintenance or completely switch to a non-hydroquinone skin brightener for a few months and then use the hydroquinone only as needed or as advised by a professional. Some hyperpigmentation can be very difficult to lighten with products alone, therefore the benefits of a professional face or body peel, or treatment may be needed to aid in the lightening process.
