Safe Percentage Of Hydroquinone

Lady C · #1 Apr 14, 2006, 04:23 AM

Hi guys,

Ok heres the deal. My face is a light brown complexion BUT......my eyelids are still brown. I've tried kojic acid, makari, hypercreme and i can't for the love of god lighten my eyelids. So i thought 'ah a small percentage of hydroquinone should help''. I don't know of any safe creams with hydroquinone. I know some of you on here use it, but a probably scared to admit it...c'mon i need your help...recommendations please?

Thank You

Be careful putting this cream near your eyes! The warnings I read say to avoid the eye area!

2% of hydroquinone is NOT safe at all. The best is to use hydroquinone free products, replaced by natural products made with plants.
