Packed With THESE Spot Fighting Ingredients! by Packed With THESE Spot Fighting Ingredients! We developed 4 formulations of The Spot Cream to cater to different needs and skin types (find the formulation details here!). Each of these formulas contain a mix of the following ingredients that will leave you with an glowing and even skin tone:Hydroquinone is a depigmenting agent that’s AMAZING for brightening your complexion while zapping those dark spots away. How exactly does it help? Hydroquinone works at a cellular level to prevent new pigments from forming, so you’ll see your dark spots begin to fade as your old skin cells are replaced by new ones.Azelaic Acid (only in HQ Free+ formula) is a multi-functional ingredient that provides many benefits to treat pigmentation in sensitive skin. It’s great at cleaning your pores, reducing inflammation so acne becomes less noticeable, and supports overall cell turnover so your skin can heal quickly with minimal scarring.Tranexamic Acid is a powerful ingredient that is used topically to treat hyperpigmentation such as melasma, sun spots, and freckles. It is comparable to the effects of hydroquinone!Kojic Acid is extracted from fungi and is commonly used for dark spot removal. It works in a similar way as hydroquinone to prevent hyperpigmentation. This ingredient has antifungal and antimicrobial properties which is great for fighting acne and other skin conditions.Vitamin C is an antioxidant that assists with skin regeneration, keeping our skin cells healthy and maintaining its natural barrier. It also promotes collagen production and prevents premature aging.With continued use, Vitamin C effectively controls hyperpigmentation.Hydrocortisone is a steroid that is typically used to treat skin conditions like eczema or dermatitis. We include it in the initial fills of some of The Spot Cream formulas (M+ and Erase) to help reduce possible side effects such as redness and irritation. You can request to exclude this ingredient during your initial Online Dermatologist Visit.Some formulas of The Spot Cream also contain Tretinoin and Niacinamide.
