hydroquinone

Hydroquinone is the main ingredient in many skin bleaching creams. Hydroquinone acts to slow or halt the reaction of melanin in skin cells. Skin color darkening has an important evolutionary significance to man. Without melanin, the human body that is exposed to sunlight is at the mercy of the sun. While sunlight has its beneficial effects on man, constant prolonged exposure to the sun does the body some damage. With skin, it's photo-aging, with the ultraviolet light that is component of natural sunlight damaging the skin cells, making them dark and brittle. Melanin in part, blocks the entry of such harmful rays, the strength of the ultraviolet rays absorbed by the chemical structure of melanin pigments. But with dead skin cells, the ultraviolet rays pass through the dead skin cells since there is no melanin to mitigate its effects, and photo-oxidation discolors the dead skin cells to a dark color. What results then is an uneven darkening of the skin, very dark at the site of the dead skin cells and a little less dark underneath and around the dead skin cells. And if this condition is coupled with the aftermath of scarring, such as with acne scars on the face, the result is a splotchy appearance.

Hydroquinone is effective in many skin bleaching applications, if the proper precautions are followed. Unfortunately, the skin lightening ability of hydroquinone is reversible; a simple exposure to the sun can stimulate the cells' melanin to produce pigments. That's why when looking for skin lightening creams or gels, make sure that sunscreens are included in the formulation otherwise get a sunscreen with a minimum protection of SPF 15 so as to protect the skin lightening effect of the cream. But so as to be able to use skin bleaching creams effectively, an understanding of the process is important. Skin bleaching creams essentially must start with skin peeling, the process of removing the dead skin cells on the upper portion of the skin. This removal of dead skin cells forces the underlying dermis to produce new skin cells to replace the dead ones. These new skin cells still have immature melanin pigments so they are light in color. So that these immature melanin pigment containing cellular parts don't get activated, hydroquinone is used. This is the second part of the skin bleaching process and this state is to ensure that the melanin is not activated so as not to darken. The third stage in the process essentially protects the new skin cells. This is where the sunscreen and antioxidants in the cream act to protect the new skin cells from growing dark.
