I used hydroquinone for about 3 months and achieved a lighter, more even, glowing complexion. Recently my skin started looking dull/darker, possibly after over-cleansing and using several products. If this is mainly temporary irritation/barrier disruption, will my skin return to the same appearance once the barrier heals, or have I lost some of the hydroquinone results? Also, does stopping hydroquinone cause an immediate rebound in pigmentation?

I used hydroquinone for about 70 days then 5 times in 10 days I was tapering off and achieved a lighter, more even, glowing complexion. Recently my skin started looking dull/darker, possibly after over-cleansing and using several products.

do you wear suncreen? applying a shit ton of products without sunscreen always leads to pigments

Hydroquinone acts like somewhat of a pause button on pigment production by blocking an enzyme called tyrosinase. It does not destroy melanocytes, it just puts them to sleep. Because 3 months is the standard dermatologist recommended time to use hydroquinone before taking a mandatory break (to avoid a rare condition called ochronosis), your timing to stop was pretty normal .

So it is prob barrier damage and I will get that skin once it healed?

you’re cleansing twice or 3 times a day, dont morning cleanse and make sure to PROTECT your skin with sunscreen in the morning aswell. cleanse after school with just water or a light cleanser, and at night you could do your normal routine
I'm 21 year old jflll
And 3 times only 2 times in this week I'm not doin it daily
