Hello, Can someone tell me how and where to get 6% hydroquinone. I have 4% but I would like something a little stronger.

That is a bit too strong.
I think only your dermatologist can prescribe it.

You will need a prescription to obtain 4-6% hydroquinone. Apparently, the 4% was sold to you illegally. It's not safe to use a higher strength hydroquinone without a doctor's supervision. Higher concentrations of hydroquinone will damage your skin.

I use to get hydroquinone 10% and it work great on my skin... the company I use to get it from no longer carries the product :( and I been using it for 3 years... no I don't know what to do... I been using bio claire for a long time now also mainly on my body cause lighten my body a whole lot... it works on the face too with really good result but to me it not good to use on face... I'm looking for a really good cream for the face..?

I don't want to hear people negative comment about hydroquinone.. the effects of the product doesn't effect everyone... only those who are allergy get a reaction from it...

All I gotten from hydroquinone was positive result... and I been using it for years...

I don't have allergies and am in good health, but I still got very serious side effects from taking 4% hydroquinone.

In only about two weeks I got headaches, skin tremors, etc. I haven't taken 2% hydroquinone so I don't know about that, but I don't think taking the 4% hydroquinone or anything higher is safe whether you use everyday for a few weeks or once a month.

Sorry to hear what happen to you but hydroquinone doesn't effect everyone... cause I been using hydroquione for years with no side effect except lighten my skin...

That why you buy product from the store it always said do a patch test on small area of your skin to make sure you don't get any bad side effects...

Hey Gold3509.. I bough the HQ from the same place too.. I wanted to literally cry when the company discontinued it. If I knew that I would have order at least 5, lol. I wanted to know if you got your hands on HQ anywhere else?

You can buy hydroquioine powder this is what compnding chemist do to get higher percentages... I know where to get some from a legit site that sells lots of other actives but I have never done it before not sure how to go about the measurements etc but I'm desperate


Hydroquioine is the ONLY thing that worked for me

Not true. It varies from person to person
