ZO Pigment Control + Blending Crème 2% Hydroquinone

ZO Pigment Control + Blending Crème is a prescription-strength pigment corrector formulated with 2% hydroquinone to target moderate to severe hyperpigmentation, melasma, sun spots, and uneven skin tone. Designed to be used in combination with retinoids or other ZO protocols, it works deep within the skin to inhibit new pigment while fading existing discoloration—giving you a brighter, more even complexion over time.

Who It’s For

• Clients with stubborn dark spots or melasma
• Skin types dealing with sun damage or post-inflammatory pigmentation (PIH)
• Clients using the ZO Pigment Protocol under professional guidance
• Those who have plateaued with non-HQ pigment products
• Patients preparing for or recovering from in-clinic laser or peel treatments

Why Sparkle Recommends It

At Sparkle Lifestyle & MediSpa, we only recommend hydroquinone-based skincare when it’s the right match for your skin concern and under the care of our providers. This product is part of our most effective pigment correction programs, including for melasma and deep discoloration. We pair it with retinol, proper sun protection, and Observ skin analysis to track your results safely and effectively.

Key Benefits

• 2% hydroquinone to inhibit melanin production and fade pigmentation
• Blends with retinoids to drive active ingredients deeper into the skin
• Supports skin renewal and improves tone, clarity, and texture
• Helps stabilize pigmentation for more uniform skin
• Part of the ZO Medical Pigment Control Program

How to Use

Use only as directed by your Sparkle provider. Typically applied at night, this product is blended with a retinoid such as tretinoin or ZO Wrinkle + Texture Repair. Apply a small amount to clean skin, avoiding the eye area. Always use an SPF 30+ daily while on this product, as skin will be more photosensitive. Do not use for longer than 5 months without reassessment.

Pro Tip

This product is not a long-term brightening cream. It’s a medical-grade corrective product best used in short cycles. We’ll guide you through your brightening plan and build in a maintenance routine once your pigment fades.
