Repair
2 nights a week. Blend these two products evenly, then apply evenly to the whole
face.
Every 2-3 weeks increase an extra night of these two products until using them
nightly.

** If extra moisturizing is needed, use Growth Factor Serum, or Hydrating Crème, or
Renewal Crème or Recovery Creme after the hydroquinone as the last step AM and/or PM.

Note: using these richer hydrators will slow down results so use only as needed on areas
which may experience irritation - flaking, redness.

Wean off hydroquinone program schedule

Month 4, Week 1-2 4 days on hydroquinone products
Month 4, Week 3-4 3 days on hydroquinone products
Month 5, Week 1-2 2 days on hydroquinone products
Month 5, Week 3-4 1 days on hydroquinone products
Month 6 completely off the program

• Hydroquinone products should not be used for more than 5 months.
Take a 2–3-month break, then resume using the Hydroquinone treatment cycle again if
needed. On your time off hydroquinone products, please use non-hydroquinone skin brightening cream to maintain and/or improve the results, such as ZO Brightalive, SkinBetter Even Tone, Alastin A-luminate.

Please do not spot treat only the pigmented areas but rather apply these products all over.
You should never stop using Hydroquinone products abruptly but rather wean off them
slowly to prevent rebound pigmentation over 4-8 weeks.

Please do not use any physical scrubs (beads type of scrub products) during the time you’re
using hydroquinone.

⚠️ Important Usage Notes

🔹 Sun Sensitivity: These products increase sun sensitivity, so daily sunscreen use is essential to prevent further pigmentation.

🔹 Expected Reactions: Flaking, redness, and sensitivity are signs of skin renewal and will improve as the skin adapts.

🔹 Hydroquinone Usage Limit:
✔ Use hydroquinone daily for 3 months, then gradually wean off over the next 3 months.
✔ Do not stop abruptly—this may cause rebound pigmentation.
✔ Take a 2-month break before resuming hydroquinone if needed.

🔹 Do Not Spot Treat: Hydroquinone should be applied evenly over the entire face, not just on dark spots, to prevent uneven skin tone.

Alternative & Combination Treatments

For faster, long-term results, our specialists recommend combining the ZO Hydroquinone Program Kit with professional treatments:

PicoWay® Laser – Breaks down deep melasma & hyperpigmentation
HALO® Laser – Reduces sun damage, fine lines & skin discoloration
BBL (BroadBand Light Therapy) – Improves skin clarity & evenness

Not sure if hydroquinone is right for you? Try the Vivier Brightening System, a non-hydroquinone alternative that uses pharmaceutical-grade vitamin C and peptides for a gentler approach to pigmentation correction.
