  • Glycerin / Humectants: Hydrate the skin.
  • Vitamin C derivatives: Brightening and antioxidant effects.

Application Process:

1. Preparation:
   • Cleanse your face thoroughly with a gentle cleanser.
   • Pat dry with a soft towel.
2. Patch Test:
   • Before initial use, perform a patch test on a small skin area to check for sensitivity or adverse reactions.
3. Application:
   • Take a small amount of the serum (a pea-sized amount).
   • Apply evenly over the targeted areas or entire face, avoiding the eye area.
   • Gently massage until fully absorbed.
4. Sun Protection:
   • Use during the daytime? Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30.
   • Hydroquinone can increase photosensitivity, so sun protection is crucial.
5. Frequency:
   • Start with once daily application, usually at night.
   • Gradually increase to twice daily if tolerated, based on skin response.
6. Follow-up:
   • Use moisturizer if skin becomes dry or irritated.
   • Discontinue use if significant irritation or adverse effects occur.

Precautions & Notes:

• Hydroquinone Usage Duration: Not recommended for continuous long-term use without medical supervision. Typically, usage is advised for periods of 3-6 months.
• Avoid Sun Exposure: Excessive sun exposure can worsen hyperpigmentation; always apply sunscreen.
• Consultation: Ideal to consult a dermatologist before starting treatment, especially for sensitive skin or pre-existing skin conditions.
• Avoid During Pregnancy/Nursing: Hydroquinone is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Storage:

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Keep the cap tightly closed when not in use.
