The ingredients in ProDerma Light Kligman’s formula are designed to work together.

• The hydroquinone helps to stop the formation of pigmentation by inhibiting tyrosine, the enzyme responsible for the production of melanin.


• Retin A helps to stimulate the production of healthy, new skin cells and it may also assist with the absorption of hydroquinone.


• Betamethasone dipropionate is a mild steroid, which is incorporated to help the active ingredients to work faster and to minimize skin irritation.

• This cream is recommended for the body only and not the face. Body creams are usually made from a base that contains oils. We ask you to use it on your body only as breakouts are more likely if oil clogs the pores.


• The common side effects associated with the application of Retinoids include: Redness, peeling, or feeling of warmth; sensitivity to sunlight; skin irritation; stinging at application site. Source:http://www.drugs.com/sfx/retin-a-side-effects.html


• It must be emphasized that you MUST wear sunscreen when using Kligman’s formula skin lightening cream because hydroquinone and Retin A makes the skin sensitive to UV rays.


• Retin A should NOT be used by pregnant women! Read why from our source:http://www.americanpregnancy.org/pregnancyhealth/acnetreatment.html


• Hydroquinone is not recommended for those with liver or kidney disease


• The effects of hydroquinone use on fetal development is not known, so if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, you should not use it.
