Why You Should Avoid Bleaching Creams That Contain Hydroquinone by ademijuwonlo(f): 6:39pm On Feb 27, 2020
Hydroquinone is a bleaching agents that is used for lightening dark spots, age spots, freckles and acne scars. In 2006, the US Food and Drug Administration named Hydroquinone as possible carcinogen. Carcinogen is a substance that is capable of causing cancer in living tissues.

Hydroquinone is a chemical that has carcinogenic properties and are often found in skin bleaching creams in varying amounts. This chemical has been banned in some countries because of its cancer causing properties but it is still in use in some other places and under different disguising names.

Long term usage of creams that contain Hydroquinone can cause; cancer, reddening of the skin, severe burning, swelling, itching and uneven skin discoloration. Hydroquinone can also cause permanent stretch marks on the skin. It can also cause ochronosis which is a persistent blue-black discolouration and thickening of the skin (this skin discoloration is rare but can be seen in Africa).

The following list consists of creams that are hydroquinone free;
1. Nivea natural fairness (Nivea products)

2. Dove cream

3. Aveeno

4. Palmer's cocoa butter

5. Vaseline even tone

6. Venus skin tonning

7. Jergens

8. Vaseline intensive care lotion

9. Oriflame loving care cream and

10. Olay products.

Do your research before buying your creams and do not forget to read the ingredients on the cream before buying. Stay beautiful and healthy!
