Clinical Team Recommendation
Our clinical team recommends limiting continuous use of hydroquinone-containing products to 4 to 6 months. Prolonged use may increase the risk of ochronosis (a persistent blue-black pigmentation) and reduce efficacy over time.
To minimize long-term risk, we suggest taking periodic breaks or alternating with an HQ-free formulation such as our Specialty Brightening Cream & Dark Spot Corrector.
For enhanced results, it is safe to use the HQ-free formula in conjunction with hydroquinone-based creams under clinical guidance.
