I am a fair skinned african american female. I suffer with acne and have very dark spots on my face. This medicine works miracles, I wish I could post a before and after pic because I've only been using for a full month and my skin is 80% cured. I have a few spots that need to clear but I'm sure by next month my skin will be flawless. I would recommend this product to everyone

This topical takes about 3 months to see results but once results are seen, you will be very happy and feel more confident. I have Melasma around cheek area especially during summer months it's very obvious, I help by wearing sunscreen daily. I love this topical. I used it for 6 months active using and 3 months off.

Hello all, hoping some one can help, I have begun to use 4% hydroquinone for about a week now and have developed a rash, irritation and very small pimples on the area applyed. I have only applied it once at night as the dermatologist recommend. I am going to stop using this product. But how can I make the itching/redness go away?

I used 4% hydroquinone cream with the Obagi Skin Care System and 1% Retin A to treat cystic acne and hyperpigmentation. Results are 100% improvement on the acne and significant lightening of my pigmented areas, so that now make-up will blend away the spots. Very good results, if you're not expecting perfection, you'll be satisfied.

I purchased the 3% Nadinola brand from Walmart for around $5.00 and after just a few nights of using it, my melasma is all but gone! I also layer a 10% AHA lotion (Glycolic Acid) over the top of it after about 10 minutes and go to bed. In the morning, the results are amazing! I will repurchase this and speak to my derm about how long to use it. I think its like 12 weeks before you should take a break but I'm not really sure. At any rate, I won't be needing to use it that long because its already worked magic on me. I've had no breakouts at all and my skin has actually cleared up!!! (I'm assuming that is due to the glycolic acid) Love love love!!!Read More Read Less

I used this medication to rid myself of spots caused by acne and it left my skin with bright white spots and dark brown spots..it's awful! I look worse than before and it has take me countless, expensive laser treatments to try and correct them. I strongly discourage this medication.

I am a light complexioned black woman who was left with skin discoloration from laser hair removal treatment on my chin which did not work well for me at all and also left slight scarring. I stopped the treatments after the third visit. I decided to try 2%hydroquinone to restore my skin color. I expected to see results in about a month. To my surprise I could see results with in the first week. The discoloration has improved impressively. I did have very minor irritation at first and found that if I applied less creme there were no side effects. It also seemed to reduce the hair growth in the affected area. This creme has worked very well for me.Read More Read Less

My Dr. told me to use this up to 12 weeks, well, I have only been using it for a week so it is hard to say what it will be like after 12, I am impatient normally, so, so far, not too happy, but I trust my Dr. and believe that it will work to the best of its ability the longer I use it. Besides, he gave me a more aggressive prescription with some Retin-A in it also if I am not happy with this..
