Editorial Reviews:

Incorporates 2% hydroquinone with kojic acid and AHA to effectively target bothersome facial brown spots. It simultaneously helps to exfoliate, bleach and inhibit hyperpigmentation. Morning and night, apply a small amount to fingertips, smooth over affected area and allow to penetrate. For faster results, cover with Serum-C (pHaze 15) and/or C-Cream (pHaze 16). Follow with sunblock hydrators (pHaze 6+ or pHaze 7) during the day.

Summary: This is my second bottle...
Comment: This stuff works. Hyperpigmentation, melasma, these things will lighten gradually, but noticably with days. I used it 3-4 times per day, rather than the manufacturer's recommended twice per day, and within four days, my face was peeling slightly, and very dry (I am normally quite oily). This discomfort is manageable with a moisturizer, and worth the visible lightening within one to two weeks. This contains 2% hydroquinone + kojic acid and azeliac acid. HQ + kojic acid have been clinically shown to work better together than either one separately (always look for peer-reviewed research by medical doctors). You MUST wear a UVA/UVB sunscreen with this product (just as you must after the fraxil laser treatments) or your hyperpigmentation will return within days. My melasma looked like I put on a mask of too-dark foundation, from my upper lip to my jaw line, and the texture was almost leathery. After using this product for about ten days, even my critical teen noticed that the contrast was considerably lessened and the leathery texture is gone (this is also a symptom of melasma). I do have a pinkish quality to my skin right now, but I don't mind since I am a bit olive-skinned. Once my skin gets used to it, it won't feel irritated and dry, and I will reduce my use to twice, and then once, per day. I foolishly ran out last spring, and thought I was okay, since I had faded last summer's over-pigmentation, but even with religious application of sunblock (remember the UVA/UVB, broad spectrum is what will keep it from returning, I read this on a medical site about hyperpigmentation) it darkened over the summer, and was quite noticable, even under full-coverage foundation. This product has allowed me to work down to medium coverage, and hopefully light coverage by Christmas, or sooner! I hope it never goes away. Buy it!
