Hydroquinone

A1234 · Aug 20, 2005, 06:19 AM

I wonder if there are good products that conatins Hydroquinone 2 % ?
for worldwide shipping, i found one site but the shipping for other coutries than Usa seems to be very hard to understand, manual shipping intructions, and you have to make everything on your own. weight, types, and everything.

I have found a product called Skin Bleaching Nighttime/daytime Fade Cream
(it´s two diffrent types, one for day and one for night)
i found it on a Acnedoctor site.

But give me some information where you can find good Skin belacing creams that contains Hydroquinone 2 % and easy shipping methods please

Thank you in advance

bye

I agree 125% with nikkicute.... I know people, and i have family members who have been using Hydroquinone for over 10 to 15 years and they're fine...healthy as horses...Although countries like Europe and south Africa have banned it the FDA in American back it up 100 percent. And they have good reason to... hydroquinone is still used in china, japan, Philippines, india, the Caribbean, south American and many other places. Its maybe the best menaline inhibitor out there.

The problem is not hydroquinone. the problem is that in Africa and even some places in Jamaica from what I've found out, they get hydroquinone that has been mixed with other substances which produce an unstable and very undesirable effect on the human skin. rash, redarking of skin, hyper pigmentation (you be come extremely dark even darker than before), muscle weakness, uneven skin tone. if you do some research online, what i'm saying can be verified. Thats why when ever you're buying any cream and it says hydroquinone 2% or 4%, look very closely at the other ingredients, and do your home work.

I'm a person of color, and I use xtreme white from xtreme cream from xtreme creams. com which is great, and I use the coca butter soap (with hydroquinone), lemon vitamin C exfoliating scrub soap, and the knee and elbow fading cream from Texas Beauty supply.

two of the products I use contain hydroquinone, are the xtreme cream, Cocoa butter soap. and my skin is lighter, even and I love it.

I mean hydroquinone is not as dangerous as you all think... not even close...people use Monobenzone for crying out loud! that completely dipigments you and leaves you UVA sensitive for life! but if you were sunscreen you're fine....and another thing people talk about hydroquinone making u darker if you go out into the sun...WEAR SUNSCREEN!!! weather or not you used Hydroquinone WEAR SUNSCREEN!!! belive me the sun is not your friend...it ages you faster than drugs and Alcohol ...you'd be surprised ...

any ways
stay happy.

Hydroquinone is safe! In fact, my dermatologists continues to and will continue to prescribe this topical solution.

HQ should be used with great precaution. i remembered my dermatologist saying, it should only be used for 1 month. and after that, there should be a resting period. A stable, and high protective sunblock is a must.

pnaybeauty · Mar 23, 2008, 03:24 AM

But its still effective! Use it, Rest then Use it again!!!

Hi,
I've got dark spots on my skin left after acne and I've been trying to get rid of them for months now. I've been using Meladerm by Civant for 2 months (it's HQ free), and I've been seeing very vague results, however, my dark spots are still very visible and I wanted something stronger. So I've just ordered Lustra Cream that contains 4% Hydroquinone. I've been hearing lots of bad stuff about HQ, but I'm going to try it out and use sunscreen. Hopefully it'll work. I will get back to you.

Good luck to you ~~

/Terra

ps. I'm a person of colour (olive skin), so perhaps I should've been using Meladerm for a longer period than 2 months (although they claim you can see visible results within 2 weeks), so maybe it'll work better for light-skinned people.

Ok I dont know if you have this question resolved or not...but I just thought Id let you know what REALLY worked for me!! Like for real for real! Ive been through EVERY single cream you could possibly use(AMBI,PALMERS,BLACK AND WHITE,ULTRA GLOW, NADINOLA, and a whole bunch others I cant remember) Ok, well this is what I did and I hope it works for you. By the way..I was dark skinned..like a deep deep brown, and now I am light brown in complexion. like Gabrielle Union's. I could go lighter, but thats the look I wanted to acheive...I used Dr.Varons skin bleaching system (Google it). and I combined that with Fair and White exclusive gel. Ive heard folks saying this and that ab Fair and White but Ive NEVER heard anything ab them "combining" the stuff. Now when I say combine, I dont mean MIXING. No! I mean do the 123 steps for Dr. Varons and thenapplying the Fair and White. *Now word to the wise: If you have ANY blemishes on your face or even the slightest breakout, GET THAT FIXED BEFORE YOU START THIS TREATMENT!! Because when I say you will get light, you willl get light and one of the GOOD things ab being darkskinned is that you cant really see blemishes...When you start tis treatment and as you progressively get lighter, those blemishes that were not so noticeable will be FRONT AND CENTER...trust, cuz thats what Im working on getting rid of right now. So, if I were you Id stear clear of the Hydroquinone and try something new. If anybody has any questions, send me a message , I can email pics to PROVE wat Im saying..kk, good luck evryone

This was the hydroquinone cream I was using before I heard about lightening with natural creams.

It contains 2% in a NATURAL BASE not mineral oil.

The others you get from the store contains mineral oil, which makes active ingredients stay on top of
the skin and does not allow penetration.

I used the Brown Spot night cream 2%hq and the Day lightening cream which contains 1%hq +mulberry + 15spf.

When you use both you are going to get LIGHT!!!

They work really,really well.
I was looking good!!

The difference was like two and half shade. And with a 2% cream at that!!

Because of the vegatable base the hydroquinone can really get into the skin.

If you try it you won't believe a 2% cream could work so well.

That is why people always want to go higher than 2% because they think a 2% is not enough.

Hydroquinone is not dangerous at all. It has been used for MANY years as a skin lightener.

The thing is it's just for short term use, not long term. I've been reading that short term is actually
A YEAR !!! lol

You have to with all skin lighteners USE SUNSCREEN !!! ALWAYS.

People should be using it regardless if your into skin lightening or not.

And a little bit goes a long way. I like the way the Brown Spot cream spread very easily on the face.

This is the fastest hq cream that I know of.

The prices can't be beat!!

Brown Spot Skin
Lightening Night Cream 1oz $10.00

Skin Lightener Day Cream 1.5oz $12.00

New Brown Spot Gel
w/Glycolic Acid 1.25oz $11.00

Brighten & Lighten Facial Cleanser $8.50
8oz (this cleanser must be new cause I have never seen it before)

Reviva Labs - The Natural Skin Care Authority
