The <strong>Hydroquinone-free formula (No HQ)<\/strong> enables a <strong>year-round use<\/strong> without interruption. Recommendation: Start with this concentration if you have tolerated 0.25% retinol without any issues (after 3\u20136 months), or switch to 1% after 3\u20136 months if you want more intense results. <strong>Sun protection is paramount.<\/strong> \u2013 without daily SPF 30+, no pigmentation treatment will be successful in the long term. Especially effective in combination with Brightalive\u00ae in the morning.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An effective 0.5% retinol blend reduces uneven skin tone and age spots.
