Hi. Greetings. Beware. Hydroquinone should not be used as a fairness cream. It should be used only if you have a pigmentation associated disease and under prescription of a qualified dermatologist. long term unwarranted use of hydroquinone is associated with disastrous permanent side effects like ochronosis. Not worth the risk. Hope this helps. Warm regards.
