HUGE WARNING - Obagi contains hydroquinone which is effective in lightening skin but is also a liver and blood toxin. I have been using it on and off for 8 years. The past two years, I have had very low lympocytes on my blood tests. No other red flags though. My dr. said nothing to worry about. I just found out yesterday from talking with facial person that you should not use for longer than 3 months without taking a break. Hydroquinone is related to benzene which causes luekimia. I'm going off it now, but I sure wish my dr. had told me. I would NOT recommend using this product. Not worth risk.Read More Read Less
