What should I do? Is there some sort or natural or "green" cream to even out my skin tone so that I don't have to rely on a harsh chemical? I have really sensitive skin to begin with, and am very prone to sunburn even in normal sunlight, so I'm really kind of doubting that this would be for me.but I'm also really desperate to even out my skin! I have a quite uneven skin tone from hormonal imbalance during my teen years, and I'd really like to even it out now, but I'm afraid that I'll just cause even more problems. Is there a way to tell in advance whether you would be prone to the hydroquinone cream side effects, or whether it is safe for you to take? The side effects of hydroquinone can be pretty bad, and you really don't want that kind of mess on your face. If you do insist on using hydroquinone, then get a very, very low dosage. You might want to go to a dermatologist to see what kinds of more gentle treatments they have for your skin.

However, after hearing how sensitive your skin is, I don't think that I would recommend hydroquinone as the thing for you. If you experience the side effects, then you obviously aren't a good candidate for the product anyway, but if you don't, then you can try it on your face, or wherever else you want. All you have to do is put a small amount of the cream on a patch of skin that's similar to the one you would be using it on, say, the inside of your wrist if you're using it on your face, and see what happens. I just know that I use it three to four times a week as a moisturizer.ĭecember 16, - I work in a spa that does hydroquinone treatments, so I'll tell you everything I know that you could do.įirst, although there is no way to tell if you're going to experience hydroquinone cream side effects just by looking at them, you can do what is called a patch test. It has 3 percent hydroquinone so maybe that is a mild formula. I just bought the kind they sell at safeway called Nadinola. I have been using it for a few years and couldn't be happier! I had melasma on my cheeks, (light brown patches of coloration) and it has nearly completely faded it! It has also greatly reduced the brown age spots on the backs of my hands! Hydroquinone cream has done wonders for me. Did your sister find any cure for it?Ĭan anyone else give me useful information about how to overcome this burning sensation? It would be very helpful for me. I developed this awful burning sensation in my face. Give me some suggestions for this because I am suffering lot of problems from this.Īpril 9, I got the same side effect as your sister did after using a fade out cream(4 percent hydroquinone) in 2001.
