    IS hydroquinone really that Bad??
    I don't know about you guys but I'm really getting tired of searching for a skin lightning product that actually works, I mean I've probabley searched every where, read every forum and article about skin lightning, and I'venoticed that the products that people are saying really works are the one's containing hydroquinone and I just really think that maybe I should just hop on the bandwagon and purchase this product I found which contains 2% hydroquinone. I don't want to somehow ruin my face with something harmful but,is 2% hydroquinone really that bad?? Seriously though. Can any one who has had experience with using a product or has used a product that contained hydroquinone tell me of your experience. :rolleyes:

    That procduct is on this website below

    I've used a hydroquinone cream to fade the freckles on my shoulders but it came back. I get compliments on my freckles, I'm going to keep my freckles. I heard good and bad things about hydroquinone, use it with care.

    The best 2%hq
    http://www.revivalabs.com/skinlightening.htm

    The best 2% cream in a natural base.
    Natural meaning the base cream is vegatable and not petorleum, so it
    Penetrates deeper into the skin.

    Hq is not bad. It' s just for short term use only not long term.

    I saw great results in pretty quick. This is the hydroquinone cream I used before I learned about natural lightening products. I used the both Skin Lightener Day Cream which contains 1%w.sunscreen, 2% Brown Spot Skin Lightening Night Cream, along with the Light Skin Peel. Which is really good for the skin!! ( it's a mask you put on,let dry then take a dry washcloth and rub it off real good) Skin afterwards is really smoooooooooth.

    I still would receommend this cream for those who don't mind using hq.
    This hq product is awsome!!
    After using this product I realized you don't need a 3 or 4%hq cream. Having hq just at 2% that can penetrate the skin and not just sit on top does the job. You don't have to go any higher.

    That's why people always think they need something stronger because the 2% did not work. Most of the creams in the store use mineral oil, not vegatable oil.

    I think it may be bad after long term use. But it is the active ingredient in many bleaching creams/gels. There are other more natural skin lighteners on the market now like arbutin, kojic acid, bearberry, licorice, lemon extracts and so much more.
