At 2%, hydroquinone is the highest concentration available without a prescription in Canada and is clinically proven to effectively reduce the appearance of melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and sun-induced discoloration with consistent use under professional guidance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlycolic Acid\u003c\/strong\u003e — An alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that accelerates the skin’s natural cell turnover by dissolving the bonds between dead, pigmented skin cells at the surface — speeding their removal and revealing fresher, more evenly toned skin beneath. Working synergistically with hydroquinone, glycolic acid enhances the penetration and efficacy of the depigmenting active while simultaneously improving skin texture and radiance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply Pigment Control Crème to affected areas as directed by your physician or skincare professional.
