ZO Pigment Control Crème 2% Hydroquinone

ZO Pigment Control Crème is a medical-grade skin lightening treatment formulated with 2% hydroquinone—clinically proven to reduce moderate to severe hyperpigmentation. Designed to be used under professional guidance, it works at the cellular level to suppress melanin production and fade unwanted pigment from the skin, making it an ideal solution for melasma, sun damage, and uneven skin tone.

Who It’s For

• Clients with melasma, brown patches, or hormonal pigmentation
• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) from acne or trauma
• Sun-induced discoloration or freckling
• Anyone in a physician-guided brightening program
• Those seeking results beyond what non-HQ brighteners can offer

Why Sparkle Recommends It

At Sparkle Lifestyle & MediSpa, this product is one of our most powerful tools for treating deep, resistant pigmentation. When used as part of a complete pigment correction protocol—including retinol, SPF, and Observ skin tracking—it can dramatically improve skin clarity. We never prescribe it casually—only when it’s the right fit and with a plan in place to safely transition into long-term skin health maintenance.

Key Benefits

• 2% hydroquinone inhibits new pigment and fades discoloration
• Reduces appearance of melasma, sun damage, and uneven tone
• Ideal for short-term pigment protocols (3–5 months)
• Can be layered with retinoids for deeper results
• Improves skin brightness and texture with continued use

How to Use

Apply once or twice daily under the direction of your provider. Typically used as part of a pigment control system and paired with a retinoid like tretinoin or ZO Wrinkle + Texture Repair. Use a small amount and always follow with sunscreen during the day. This product is not for long-term use and should be cycled off after 3–5 months.

Important Notes

Because this is a prescription-strength product containing hydroquinone, a consultation is required before purchase. This ensures we can track your progress and adjust your plan if needed. We also include Observ® before-and-after imaging in your pigment correction journey for safe, measurable results.
