What is Expigment Cream?

Expigment Cream, which features a 4% concentration of Hydroquinone, is specifically designed as a skin lightening treatment targeting various types of hyperpigmentation, including freckles, chloasma (commonly referred to as melasma), age spots, and acne-related scars.

Hydroquinone is utilized to reduce dark skin areas, known as hyperpigmentation, melasma, liver spots, age spots, and freckles, which may arise from pregnancy, hormonal medications, or skin injuries. This treatment functions by inhibiting the biochemical processes responsible for skin discoloration.

How does Expigment cream work?

The effectiveness of this cream lies in its capacity to reduce melanosome production while facilitating the breakdown of these pigment granules within melanocytes, the cells responsible for melanin synthesis. This mechanism is primarily accomplished by inhibiting tyrosinase, an essential enzyme in the melanin production pathway. Users typically begin to observe noticeable skin lightening effects after approximately four weeks of consistent application; however, it is crucial to recognize that some individuals may need a longer period to achieve significant results. If there is no observable improvement after three months of use, it is advisable to discontinue the application of the cream.

To maximize the efficacy of Expigment cream, it is essential to minimize sun exposure by either staying indoors or wearing protective clothing, in addition to applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 15 when going outdoors. The use of tanning beds or salt parlors is strongly discouraged, as these activities can compromise the effectiveness of the treatment. Regular application of the cream is crucial for achieving the desired lightening effects, and once the desired results are attained, it should be used on an as-needed basis to maintain those results.

Before applying Expigment cream, conduct a patch test.

Prior to starting the treatment, it is recommended to conduct a patch test on a small area of hyperpigmented skin to check for any possible adverse reactions. If there are no signs of irritation, such as redness or itching, within a 24-hour period, the treatment can be safely continued.

How to apply Expigment cream

To achieve optimal results, it is important to thoroughly cleanse and dry the skin before applying a thin layer of the cream to the affected areas twice daily. It is vital to ensure that the cream is fully absorbed into the skin by using an appropriate amount to adequately cover the hyperpigmented regions while avoiding contact with surrounding healthy skin, as this could lead to unintended lightening of those areas. After application, washing the hands is essential to prevent accidental transfer of the product to other parts of the body. The cream should be kept away from sensitive areas such as the eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes. Additionally, it is advisable to refrain from using other topical medications, particularly those containing peroxide, on the same areas unless specifically instructed by a healthcare provider. When incorporating non-medical cosmetics, sunscreens, or moisturizers into your routine, the Expigment cream should be applied first, followed by a waiting period of several minutes before applying any additional products. Generally, the side effects associated with this cream are mild.
