Targeted Treatment for Moderate to Severe Hyperpigmentation
Size: 80 ml

ZO Skin Health Pigment Control Crème (formerly Melamin Skin Bleaching & Correcting Crème) is a pharmaceutical-grade, 2% hydroquinone pigment correction treatment developed to target melasma, sun damage, age spots, and other forms of persistent hyperpigmentation.
This professionally formulated crème helps gradually lighten existing discolouration, suppress future pigment formation, and even out skin tone for a clearer, brighter complexion.
Hydroquinone, considered the gold standard for pigmentation works by inhibiting tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin production. This crème also soothes irritation commonly associated with hydroquinone use and moisturizes newly revealed skin as pigment lifts.
Safe for short-term use under medical guidance, Pigment Control Crème is ideal for patients on a ZO Brightening Program, melasma protocol, or pre-/post-treatment pigmentation regimen.

ZO Pigment Control Crème 2% Hydroquinone: Gold-Standard Correction for Stubborn Hyperpigmentation
ZO Skin Health Pigment Control Crème delivers 2% hydroquinone — long considered the gold standard for fading melasma, sun damage, age spots, and other treatment-resistant discolouration — in a lightweight, soothing crème.
Hydroquinone works by suppressing tyrosinase, the enzyme that drives melanin production, so existing spots fade and new pigment is held back. It is intended for focused, physician-guided courses. WeDoSkin.ca is a Preferred Authorized Retailer for ZO Skin Health in Canada, with authentic, fresh stock.

- Apply a thin layer to areas of discolouration on clean, dry skin as directed by your skincare professional.
- Use morning and/or night per your protocol — hydroquinone is typically used in defined courses, not indefinitely.
- Daily SPF is essential; sun exposure undoes pigment correction. Always finish mornings with broad-spectrum sunscreen.
Who It's For
- Moderate to severe, treatment-resistant hyperpigmentation
- Melasma, chloasma, sunspots, and age spots
- Clients on a ZO brightening or melasma protocol
- Pre- and post-procedure pigment management under guidance
Sensitivity note: Hydroquinone is a potent active. Introduce gradually, patch test, and use under the guidance of a skincare professional; discontinue if persistent irritation occurs.

Pigment Control: Frequently Asked Questions
How does ZO Pigment Control Crème work?
It uses 2% hydroquinone to inhibit tyrosinase, the enzyme behind melanin production, which fades existing discolouration and helps prevent new spots from forming.
How long should I use hydroquinone?
Hydroquinone is typically used in defined, short-term courses under professional guidance rather than indefinitely. Your skincare provider will set the right schedule for you.
Can I use it with retinol?
Many ZO pigment protocols pair hydroquinone with a retinol product at night for faster results, but this should be done under professional guidance to manage potential dryness.
Do I still need sunscreen?
Absolutely. Daily broad-spectrum SPF is non-negotiable during pigment correction — sun exposure reverses your progress and can deepen discolouration.
Is it suitable for melasma?
Yes. Pigment Control Crème is well suited to melasma and other stubborn, hormonally or sun-driven pigmentation, ideally within a structured ZO protocol.
