EPIQUIN MICRO SKIN CARE

EpiQuin Micro is a topical 4% hydroquinone product indicated for the treatment of hyperpigmentation, a condition that results in heavily pigmented or dark areas of the skin.

EpiQuin Micro is the only prescription hydroquinone product available with Microsponge technology, a delivery technology supplied by Cardinal Health. Microsponges are porous microscopic particles loaded with active ingredients. Following application, the Microsponges remain on the surface of the skin and gradually release the active ingredient, prolonging exposure to the treatment while minimizing skin irritation. Studies with Microsponge-entrapped products known to cause skin irritation, such as benzoyl peroxide and hydroquinone, have demonstrated efficacy with minimal skin irritation.

EpiQuin Micro is the only hydroquinone 4% formulated with Microsponge technology and retinol. The retinol provides improvement in appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while enhancing the skin's appearance. Antioxidants vitamin E (tocopheryl acetate) and vitamin C (ascorbic acid) help protect against free-radical damage.

EpiQuin Micro is a safe, steroid-free formulation that can be used for both acute and maintenance therapy without the potential harmful side effects of long term steroid use. EpiQuin Micro should be tested for skin sensitivity prior to use.
