Ok so Ive been researching for 3 days straight now! My head is pounding and I still haven't been able to find enough information. I would really just like to buy it and have it shipped to me but I live in the UK and am worried about it getting stopped at customs as it is illegal here and also I am not finding the correct strengths. Id like 10% or higher as its for my knees and elbows and scars.

Could someone please tell me:

1) Where I could purchase hydroquinone powder from in the uk?
2) The correct mixing method (including quantities) preferably to make a 10% solution
3) Any other relevant info

Thank you!

Hi lady Ashleigh, I too am from the U.K and mix my own hydroquinone cream. I buy tubs of hydroquinone powder from a photographic shop, I think they are based in london but I am from Scotland so I am not really sure because I get it by mail. Maybe you could pm me so I could send you the website address, I don't know if posting it here would be advertising. You can look through my post and find the method for mixing your own cream.
Good luck on your journey.
