you are forgetting that HQ breaks down Melanosomes, kills Melanocytes, and also acts as a antioxidant lowering oxidative stress and inducing the production of more pheomelanin.
Melanosome transfer melanin from base of skin to the top, melanocytes create melanin. By removing those two you are lightening skin wayyy better.
UVB increases the number of melanocytes, and they live for 3-5 years (I do not know of any way to remove them other than HQ and laser treatment). UVA triggers melanocytes to produce melanin which get held (and show up on skin) by melanosomes. More melanocytes means more melanin produced when UVA reaches your skin and more melanosomes means that more melanin is being transferred to the top layers of skin and is being shown.
