Soon to be Sister in law getting married, really wants to looks "perfect" what ever that is, has been recommended HQ or alpha arbutin for her lower body which is considerably darker than top.

Hi,

I live in UK too and have been wanting to get HQ4% or higher. So far according to my research you have following options:

• Get it on perscription.
• Buy it from abroad and risk it being not genuine product, it may even get confescated at customs. If it gets through, be prepared to pay hefty excise duty.
• Buy the powder (appearently you can buy it from photo printing shops) and make your own cream.

Let me know how you got on.

As you people say then it won't be get bad effection to the face if we use original st.dalfour right ?

@Kevi sorry don't understand what you are saying?

Thanks you have provided me with the best answer on here so far.
In terms of getting it on prescription I gather this will be from a dermatologist rather than her regular GP?

With regards to buying the powder, we have done a bit of research in the passed and have found that as part of the EU being in the UK restricts where one can buy it from any ideas? Alternatively we are considering using arbutin

Have you tried the black hair stores, I know some online stores will ship it over there

Black hair stores in the UK are restricted from selling hydroquinone. Online stores are slightly worrying we don't really want to go through the scamming experience =|

Well I have herd @ the black hair stores THEY ALL HAVE THE CREAMS you got to ask for it and they will give you

It has been tried, many shops may deny it but we have definitely tried and it seems quite time consuming to go round to every hair shop within the UK to ask. Thanks though

Sorry was only trying to help, there are a few places online that will help with the labelling to the UK but you have to ask, best of luck

Thanks I do appreciate your response. Just an update in my search- I have found hydroquinone powder however its hydroquinone-fotopur is this the correct kind to mix my own creamS?
