Hi guys,

Ok here's 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

Philosophy.com - one of oprah's favorite things - has a skin lightening agent with hydroquinone.

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.
