This gel's active ingrediant, Hydroquinone, can cause reactions on some people, therefore it's not for everyone. It might also be the AHA and BHA in this product, so it is supposed to be used very...

Great product. Does exactly what it says it will, or even better. Lightens my sun spots, and keeps my skin clear and blemish free. There is just one catch - it is DANGEROUS! Yes. Hydroquinone is a...
