Do Not Use Hydroquinone At Daytime!
HEllo everyone! Actually, my sister has been using a hydroquinone containing astringent sold here for US$1 for 4 years now. She has the most wonderful skin in the family. People always ask for her beauty regimen wherever she goes. She has very tight pores, no signs of unevenness of her skin tone & no pimples, blackheads or whiteheads. Too good to be true,right? Well, it is. I tries using it but to my dismay, I had ugly rashes on my face & burning sensation (imagine a sweaty pig) so I stopped. Stubborn as I am, I am still continuing the product but I am diluting it with a regular toner. It works but not as fast. My mom (as usual)decided to try it too. It was good at first till she was tempted to apply this at daytime. MAJOR MISTAKE! She developed an ugly hyperpigmentation on both her cheekbones that not even the best dermatologists could get off. Till she used the Korean Magic cream. Problem now is that she has run out of it. Poor mom :(
Reviva Labs lightening creams.
The best hydroquinone product I have used has been from Reviva Labs.
This was the hydroquinone cream I was using before I heard about lightening with natural creams.
It contains 2% in a NATURAL BASE not mineral oil.
The others you get from the store contains mineral oil, which makes active ingredients stay on top of
The skin and does not allow penetration.
I used the Brown Spot night cream 2%hq and the Day lightening cream which contains 1%hq +mulberry + 15spf.
When you use both you are going to get LIGHT!!
They work really,really well.
I was looking good!
The difference was like two and half shade. And with a 2% cream at that!
Because of the vegatable base the hydroquinone can really get into the skin.
If you try it you won't believe a 2% cream could work so well.
That is why people always want to go higher than 2% because they think a 2% is not enough.
Hydroquinone is not dangerous at all. It has been used for MANY years as a skin lightener.
The thing is it's just for short term use, not long term. I've been reading that short term is actually
A YEAR!! Lol
You have to with all skin lighteners USE SUNSCREEN!! ALWAYS.
People should be using it regardless if your into skin lightening or not.
And a little bit goes a long way. I like the way the Brown Spot cream spread very easily on the face.
This is the fastest hq cream that I know of.
The prices can't be beat!

Yes SunScreen is Important
Yes I agree that we need to:
1. Try to keep out of the sun
2. If we cannot avoid the sun... we need to always use sunscreen.
3. If we do 1 and 2 aaloend we still need to lighten our skin we have options of lightening the skin.
For a body sunscreen I use Banana Boats "Suntanicals" and from the name one can see that it is enriched with bontanicals such as Aloe Vera, chamomile, and lavendar.
Check it out at a local walmart or go to www.bananaboat.com to see what is available around your area.
Good luck!
