    I've gone through two tubes of this white cream which turns brownish with time. (It may be another packaging issue among PC's numerous packaging issues, since hydroquinone becomes unstable when...

    I really debated on whether I would repurchase this item. I did not like the weird medicinal scent of this product, but being Asian, I am used to all sorts of weird herbal scents so it did not...

    I only used this for a few days because I could not stand the smell at all! The glycolic acid in the product did help to exfoliate my dry, flaky skin. If you have sensitive skin, you may feel a...

    I know how hard it is to find reliable Hydroquinone product. This is one of them. I use it on my back every night. Totally in love with this thing.

    I was very disappointed in this product. At first, I was put off by the unpleasant smell and very greasy texture. But I still had high hopes, because I noticed small improvements in the dark spots...

    This caused the WORST reaction I have ever gotten from a skincare product. I was trying to fade some light melasma in the form of pale freckles on my upper cheeks and around my eye area. I used it...

    This stuff is disgusting. It smells and really made my skin sting. The smell was so gross that it didn't even matter how effective this product is...because I didn't like to use it. I think...
