Question 1

What does Hydroquinone do for body?

Accepted Answer

Factors like hormonal changes, exposure to harsh chemicals, genetics, age, and various medical conditions can all cause areas of the skin to darken, especially the underarms, groin, and anus. Most of the time, this darkening isn’t a cause for concern, but it’s common for people to feel self-conscious about it during swimsuit season or intimate moments. Hydroquinone Cream lightens and treats areas of hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and melasma by interfering with the production of melanin and breaking down existing melanin. The result is a more even, smooth skin tone.

Question 2

Does Hydroquinone have any side effects?

Accepted Answer

You may experience redness, dryness, peeling, itching, burning, and irritation at the application site. Hydroquinone also carries a risk of developing exogenous ochronosis, a blue-black discoloration of the skin. This risk increases with prolonged use of hydroquinone and continued sun-exposure. To avoid this, you'll need to take periodic breaks from hydroquinone. As always, follow the advice of your medical provider and wear a daily SPF of at least 30.

Question 3

Does Hydroquinone permanently lighten skin?

Accepted Answer

Hydroquinone will continue to lighten skin as long as it is applied, but it is possible for melanin to return to the area once the medicine is discontinued. However, it is possible to maintain your results with continued use as advised by your medical provider.

Question 4

Is Hydroquinone harmful to skin?

Accepted Answer

The FDA has determined that hydroquinone is safe as long as it is used as directed and under the care of a trained and licensed physician. Always follow medication directions and the guidance of your medical provider for safe and effective results.
