if I buy this product alone with hydroquinone 4% will it work without anything else?... I don't really wanna invest iin the whole system.... anyone with dark skin had any luck with this product? or better yet which Obagi products contain hydroquinone and are effective?... it's confusing... and also how big are the bottles?... how much is in the bottles?

Honestly I would not invest in the whole system as it is very pricey. I considered doing so at one point last year but I decided against it. In my honest opinion all you really need is the blender because that has the active 4% hq in it, and you could buy your tretinoin or retin a cheaper elsewhere. I looked on the website and see that they have a C-Clarifying Serum. I WOULD REALLLLY GET THIS INSTEAD and now you have me considering it lol because it has 4% hq AND Vitamin C, but I hope the vitamin c is still stable, but anywho serums are usually more effective than lotions. Let us know what you decide (Go with the serum lol) and good luck.

I bought the whole set. I got mines off of Amazon. I was using the 2% hydroquinone and didn't know it. I was wondering why I was getting so dark. I got very chocolate last summer until I realized that the bleaching cream was only 2%

I use their foam wash which works excellent for acne along with my hydroquinone 4%. Its working for me. All the other products are pretty useless and just to take your money

I have used this, you are better off buying some generic 4% HQ....it will do the same thing, Obagi is not special....its just a brand name
