NOT 4% please! I want something that's like 10%, does anybody know where I could buy that?

dessaml... someone had mentioend some time ago that you can buy it from various photografic stores online... try one of those.. it might work for you...

I have purchased mine from Amandahitech... but don't take my word for it... otherwisepeople will be quick to call me a seller for it !

Besides I haven't started using the HQ as I am still using the monobenzone...

I'm not sure what you mean by photografic stores online?

Fotografic stores... as in the foto developer stores
Put in search on Google things like photograde hydroquinone... from photo shops

You will get a list of places... I know photograde hydroquinone sounds impure.. but I believe it is round about the same purity... besides I have heard people who used hq from such shops actually got better lightening than the ones from lightening sites...

Thanks. I found 99% hydroquinone! Something tells me that might kill me lol, but I'll keep looking. This is difficult, you can get mono but its hard finding HQ higher than 4%... makes no sense.

Thts because Monobenzone is still being used as a prescription medication and it doesn't show any link to cancer, ochronosis etc

Hydroquinone is also being used as a medication but causes lots more proven side effects..

That's the only reason ! And just an advice to you... Buy your hq from a photo store and not some lightening site... because it's their business to sell it and to make profits they tweak these products significantly...

Hey dessaml.. did you purchase hq frm the foto stores?

Does it wrk ?

Yep, best bet would be to make your own HQ solution if you're looking for higher concentrations.

You can find pure HQ powder (a bit costly, but 99% pure and legitimate) on several skin-based sites. Diluting it with regular lotion should work effectively.

Average price I've seen is about 1oz/28 grams for about $15; cheaper than Arbutin, despite my choice to stick with it.

Unfortunately no. I'm not going to even dare try putting 99% HQ on my face. I found one place that has a 10% but I am not going to pay $136 for it. I'd be better off buying HQ powder and taking it to a pharmacist and having them make it for me.
