This component causes skin cancer – creams containing it are banned worldwide, but they continue to be sold in Russia!

We fully understand your desire to get rid of dark spots, especially on the face. But it is better to use products based on vitamin C, AHA acids and hardware procedures for these purposes. But what you need to avoid in an attempt to fight pigmentation is hydroquinone.

Hydroquinone is a chemical widely used in the cosmetic and medical industries as a “bleaching agent”. In many countries it is already banned or seriously restricted (it is sold only by prescription), but in our marketplaces it simply breaks sales records, because unscrupulous sellers promise that with the help of products containing this component in the composition you will get perfectly clear skin. At the same time, they are silent about the side effects of using such funds… But they are, and quite scary!

Studies have shown that after some time after starting to use hydroquinone products, the risk of melanoma increases. After that, many countries immediately introduced a complete ban on the use of this component in external cosmetics.

Additionally, hydroquinone can cause skin irritation, redness, and dryness, as well as cause dehydration and flaking. And this component also increases the sensitivity of the skin to ultraviolet rays, which means that it accelerates photoaging, which further increases the risk of melanoma.
