What is Dark Spots?
Our Dark Spots formula is a dermatologist-formulated blend anchored by hydroquinone and supporting brighteners — clinically proven to reduce hyperpigmentation, correct sun damage, fight inflammation, and stop excess melanin before it forms.
Compounded in three strengths so your clinician can start you where your skin can handle it and step up as needed:
Novice — Hydroquinone 6%, Vitamin C 1%, Niacinamide 2%. Intermediate — Hydroquinone 8%, Tretinoin 0.025%, Vitamin C 1%, Niacinamide 2%. Pro — Hydroquinone 12%, Tretinoin 0.05%, Niacinamide 2%, Hydrocortisone 2.5%.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
- A skin-lightening agent for dark spots and hyperpigmentation. It inhibits the production of melanin — the pigment responsible for skin color — helping lighten sunspots, age spots, and acne marks.
- A mild topical steroid that reduces inflammation, swelling, redness, and itching. An added boost in the Pro formula when your skin needs it.
- A thin layer at night, applied only to the darker areas after cleansing. Always follow with SPF in the morning — sunscreen is non-negotiable while treating pigment.
- Early brightening around 4–6 weeks. Fuller fade of most spots takes 8–12 weeks of consistent nightly use.
- Yes. Your clinician runs a treat-then-rest protocol to keep your skin responsive and avoid over-treatment. Follow the plan they set.
- Common: redness, dryness, and irritation. Rare but important — prolonged use of high-strength hydroquinone (over 4%, beyond about 3 months without breaks) carries a risk of exogenous ochronosis, a gradual blue-black darkening of the skin, more common in darker skin types. Any sign of blue-black darkening means stop immediately and message your care team. The human carcinogenic potential is unknown.
