OTHER NAMES FOR HYDROQUINONE


Have you ever bought a cream or lotion that you were sure contained no Hydroquinone but notice after a few days that the product remnant around the cap had darkened in color? Or your skin start errupting in acne and rash after using a certain product? If your answer is yes to any of these questions, then your cream most likely contains Hydroquinone.
Hydroquinone (a.k.a HQ), is one if not the most controversial ingredient of all skin care products in the market today. As a chemical it has other derivatives/names that manufacturers of beauty product use just to confuse consumers into buying their products without knowing what these products contain.
The FDA in United States approves 2% HQ for Over-the-Counter products, as long as the manufacturers give warning that the product should only be used for 3 months, and this is clearly stated on the packaging. However, as we all know the Nigerian skin care market is a dumping ground for all kinds of products from countries like Phillipines, Cote d'Voire etc with questionable
ingredients. Since our government regulating bodies do not regulate these products; the onus is on each consumer to be informed and be on the look out.
