Pigmentation treatment has typically been done through use of Hydroquinone creams prescribed by doctors, or retinol along with anti-inflammatory creams. But the problem with these is side effects which range from redness to more inflammation, dryness, skin peeling and sensitivity. Hydroquinone is especially being phased out and is already banned in the European Union and other countries.
