GLYQUIN®
Skin Bleaching Moisturizing Cream With Sunscreens (SPF15)
What
is GLYQUIN®?
GLYQUIN®
is a prescription cream that is designed to slowly "bleach"
hyperpigmented skin conditions. GLYQUIN® contains all the essential
ingredients your skin needs to look its most vibrant. We call this look
GLYQUINessential®!
What
is hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation,
often referred to by doctors as dyschromia (dis-kro-me-a), occurs when
your body produces an excess amount of melanin, which is the pigment
portion of your skin. It results in brown spots, freckles, or patches
of darkened skin. Some common causes of hyperpigmentation include sun
exposure, hormonal changes, or trauma to the skin caused by acne, burns,
or surgical procedures.
How
can GLYQUIN® help?
The
ingredients found in GLYQUIN® work together to even out your skin
tone, diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and moisturize
and protect your skin against future damage.

Let's
look at these ingredients one by one to see how they help give you that
GLYQUINessential® look.
4%
hydroquinone
Four-percent
hydroquinone requires a prescription from your doctor. Hydroquinone
works by inhibiting the production of melanin - the pigment portion
of your skin.
10%
glycolic acid
Glycolic
acid helps the skin shed its outermost layer of hyperpigmented skin
cells more rapidly. It also helps diminish the appearance of fine
lines and wrinkles - another beauty bonus for you!
Vitamin
C (L-ascorbic acid) and vitamin E (tocopherol)
These
two vitamins provide your skin with antioxidant protection. This helps
defend your skin against future damage caused by the sun, pollution,
and other environmental toxins. It also helps lessen the visible signs
of aging
GLYQUIN®
contains the sun protection you need to guard against both UVA (aging)
and UVB (burning rays. This is especially important to prevent repigmentation
through repeated sun exposure.
