Glyquin XM Skin Fading Cream

Glyquin XM

This new version of Glyquin is the same as original Glyquin with the benefits of Vitamins C & E and Hyaluronic Acid.

It also contains extra moisturizing agents. It is designed to slowly "bleach" hyperpigmented skin conditions. When too much melanin (the pigment portion of skin) is produced as a result of sun exposure, for example this can lead to hyperpigmentation or overly pigmented patches of skin.

Hydroquinone an active ingredient in GLYQUIN�?works by inhibiting the production of melanin.

Glycolic acid was added to increase the penetration and efficacy of hydroquinone.

"The quintessential hydroquinone?" also includes vitamins C and E, which, when used together with hydroquinone and glycolic acid, may function by reducing sun-induced free radicals.

GLYQUIN also includes broad-spectrum sunscreens to help prevent repigmenting (or tanning) skin.

GLYQUIN contains several ingredients.

Let's look at these ingredients one by one to see how they work together to help give you that GLYQUINtessential? look.

4% hydroquinone

Four-percent hydroquinone requires a prescription from your doctor.

Hydroquinone works by inhibiting the production of melanin, the pigment portion of skin. When too much melanin is produced ? as a result of sun exposure, for example this can lead to hyperpigmentation or overly pigmented patches of skin. 10% glycolic acid.

Glycolic acid is a natural exfoliator.

It helps the skin shed its outermost layer of hyperpigmented skin cells more rapidly.

While other prescription-strength hydroquinone products contain this ingredient, their percentage of glycolic acid is lower than the amount found in GLYQUIN.

It's important to note that the exfoliating action of glycolic acid also may help diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) and Vitamin E (Tocopherol)

These two vitamins provide your skin with much needed 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.

Broad-spectrum sunscreens with SPF 15

We all know about the sun's damaging effects to our skin.

It's a primary cause of hyperpigmentation.

What you may not know is that GLYQUIN contains the sun protection you need to guard against both UVA and UVB rays.

This is especially important to people who are using hydroquinone therapy.

After all, why bother "bleaching" those hyper-pigmented cells if you're only going to re-pigment them through repeated sun exposure?

As you can see, GLYQUIN contains the essentials that your skin needs to get and keep that GLYQUINtessential? look. It's also the reason we think it's "the quintessential hydroquinone" and why we think you will, too.
