    Hydroquinone USP 2%
    Hi.. I am 24 year old girl with a brown skin. I had very slight pimple scars so I applied a medicine with hyderoquinone USP 2 % on my face and kept it over night. So,Now I ended up having more pigmentation(repigmentation) and feeling depressed with my marriage falling close in 6 months.Will this pigmenation completely go or it will remain slightly.How long will it take to go completely?

    Thanks in advance

    Hydroquinone is a popular skin lightening treatment, however it can irritate the skin and cause it to re-pigment. Try using creams that contain kojic acid or alpha hydroxy creams. Alpha hydroxy acids work by shedding the old cells, which are usually darker, and will make skin discolorations lighter. Chemical peels can also help fade acne scars. If you don't see any improvement from these products, please consult your dermatologist for a treatment that's right for you.

    Hi go to whole foods or another supplement store. Buy some licorice extract or some uva ursi extract. Mix this with a good facial lotion. Use twice a day and your skin should lighten up soon, just remember to use a sunblock during the day time and try to stay out of the sun. these are natural products so they won't hurt your skin like HQ will.

    Those are the same products they use in professional products but they'll work better and they are cheaper.
