Hello, Can someone tell me how and where to get 6% hydroquinone. I have 4% but I would like something a lil stronger.

That is a bit too strong.
I think only your dermatologist can prescribe it.

You will need a prescription to obtain 4-6% hydroquinone. Apparently, the 4% was sold to you illegally. It's not safe to use a higher strength hydroquinone without a doctor's supervision. Higher concentrations of hydroquinone will damage your skin.

i use to get hydroquinone 10% and it work great on my skin.... the company i use to get it from no longer carries the product :( and i been using it for 3 years... no i dont know what to do... i been using bio claire for a long time now also mainly on my body cause lighten my body a whole lot.... it works on the face too with really good result but to me it not good to use on face..... im looking for a really good cream for the face....??

I dont wanna hear people negative comment about hydroquinone.. the effects of the product doesnt effect everyone... only those who are allergy get a reaction from it.......

all i gotten from hydroquinone was positive result... and i been using it for years....

I don't have allergies and am in good health, but I still got very serious side effects from taking 4% hydroquinone.

In only about two weeks I got headaches, skin tremors, etc. I haven't taken 2% hydroquinone so I don't know about that, but I don't think taking the 4% hydroquinone or anything higher is safe whether you use everyday for a few weeks or once a month.

sorry to hear what happen to you but hydroquinone doesnt effect everyone... cause i been using hydroquione for years with no side effect except lighten my skin.....

that why you buy product from the store it alway said do a patch test on small area of your skin to make sure you dont get any bad side effects....

not true. It varies from person to person
