I used pHaze 13 Pigment Gel® Dyschromia Controller for two weeks or so… is it my imagination or did my spots get darker before they got lighter?
Yes, this is possible because the discoloration that is closer to the surface of your skin appears darker than the pigment that is in the lower layers of your skin. If discoloration gets darker first, it is rising to the surface to be exfoliated. At this point it is especially important to continue with your lightening regimen. If you are using the pHaze 13 Pigment Gel® with HQ, keep in mind that hydroquinone is a lightening ingredient that can oxidize and turn dark brown when exposed to air and light. This may discolor the skin’s surface (the very problem you are trying to correct). Therefore, it is imperative that you use the appropriate PCA SKIN® sunscreen moisturizer to create a barrier and protect the hydroquinone from air contact and sunlight.
