Why Dr. Howarth recommends it
The physician-dispensed program, provided under Dr. Howarth’s direction, for starting a ZO pigment plan from scratch. It puts the full Getting Skin Ready® sequence and both hydroquinone crèmes in one box in starter sizes, so nothing is left to source separately.
  • Six-piece program in one box
  • Getting Skin Ready® prep plus two 4% hydroquinone crèmes
  • Gradual bleaching of melasma, freckles and age spots
  • Starter sizes of each component

Cleanse morning and evening with Gentle Cleanser, exfoliate with Exfoliating Polish at least twice a week, tone with Complexion Renewal Pads, then apply 2–3 pumps of Daily Power Defense over face and neck. Apply a thin layer of Pigment Control Crème and of Pigment Control + Blending Crème to affected areas twice daily, or as directed by your physician, and always use sunscreen. Reassess with your provider at 8–12 weeks if there is no improvement; not for use under 12 or during pregnancy without medical advice; patch test first; avoid the eyes and discontinue if irritation develops.

  • Hydroquinone 4% (both crèmes): reversible depigmentation by inhibiting melanin formation
  • Glycolic and salicylic acid (Complexion Renewal Pads): help smooth, brighten and decongest skin
  • ZPOLY™ and ZO-RRS2® (Daily Power Defense): minimize signs of premature aging and neutralize free radicals
