    6% hydroquinone
    Hello, Can someone tell me how and where to get 6% hydroquinone. I have 4% but I would like something a little 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 don't 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... I'm looking for a really good cream for the face..?

    I don't want to hear people negative comment about hydroquinone.. the effects of the product doesn't 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 doesn't 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 always said do a patch test on small area of your skin to make sure you don't get any bad side effects...

    Hey Gold3509.. I bough the HQ from the same place too.. I wanted to literally cry when the company discontinued it. If I knew that I would have order at least 5, lol. I wanted to know if you got your hands on HQ anywhere else?

    Not true. It varies from person to person
