As of a few days ago when I wrote this post, it was still available from an independent merchant selling on Amazon.com, but as of today, the link is not working. =( I think that another great option is Lumixyl - ask your dermatologist what s/he thinks about it for you! Sincerely, Nicki Hi Jay,

Hope this helps! Sincerely, Nicki Dear Vanessa,

Some studies showed that hydroquinone may act as a carcinogen or cancer-causing chemical in animals, probably in humans too. Hydroquinone also has been linked with the skin abnormality called ochronosis in which the skin becomes dark and thick, especially in people of color. Dome-shaped yellowish spots and grayish-brown spots are observed in ochronosis among black women and men. Ochronosis has been observed in conjunction with hydroquinone use even in persons who have used hydroquinone-containing cosmetics for a short time. The use of hydroquinone has already been banned in Japan, the European Union, Australia and South Africa. FDA has proposed a ban of hydroquinone in OTC products. In Ireland their was a mass recall of products containing hydroquinone. I'M COMPLETELY AGAINST THE USE OF HYDROQUINONE. Currently up to 2% hydroquinone may be sold OTC in the US.
