[@norecipesnoborderschanel1449]

My doctor just prescribed me 12% I am really nervous. Glad I find your video. Thanks

[@meimei004]

hey is it necessary to use it again after the break?

[@joviannymph]

Wow! Great breakdown. Thank you. My melasma is genetic- and I tried Fraxel: bam, new spot ! Finally about to try hydroquinone- and might then transition to cysteameane after

[@JillianGottlieb1]

Yes, perfect routine to start!

[@uwu-qj7pl]

Thank you! Is it safe to use on the knees and legs to target pigmentation? Would the same rules apply?

[@benprasodo]

Hi everyone. First of all, THANK YOU for great content! Very informative.❤ I hope you dont mind some questions. I'm currently using Hydroquinone 2% and Tretinoin. Been using them only for a month now without serious side effect. Started slow. Do you think I can use Hydroquinone 2% with Copper Peptide? I read an article about Hydroquinone oxidation by Copper, it didn't say anything about Copper peptide though.

hello. thank you for the video, i wanted to ask, can i use hydroquinone on a pigmented scar which is close to the eye, side part of the nose? thank you

[@deepikavijakumar9553]

Hydroquinone for 2 months, stop it for 3 months. So during those 2 months of using, can we use it on alternate days just to avoid the chances of the side effect

[@claritanovelo3308]

Excellent topic. Can you please tell me the name of the ISDIN product mentioned in the video?

[@JillianGottlieb1]

Thank you! It's Isdin Melaclear Advanced!

Ok I always love these videos with Dr. Claire but just her comments about EWG need to be a clip on TikTok... I have been trying to say this to people but she, of course, is explains it with so much more expertise!

[@JillianGottlieb1]

Yes! I have written on my to-do list to chop up this vid, the vit c vid, and the all about retinoid vid and turn them into tiktok clips soon!

[@susanb3989]

EWG is not reputable

[@melindabozick5356]

So helpful! I’ve been using it for almost three months after my co2 laser because I was getting hyperpigmentation. I’m most definitely stopping now and taking a break. My derm did say only take for three months but I wasn’t sure how long of break should take. Thank you.

[@JillianGottlieb1]

So glad this was helpful! Yes, never more than 3 months - then take a break for a few months - repeat. xx

Hi how bout hydroquinone for hyperpigmentation sun blemishes on vitiligo patients..? How would it be administered to create an even skin tone? And will it go away for good or reoccur?

[@traceyfoss8492]

I'm also wondering about creating an even skin tone?

[@AverIkyoive]

can l moisturiser before applying it?

[@JillianGottlieb1]

sure!

[@AEliz16]

Thank you! Just started hydroquinone and skin is red. Should i discontinue or do you think it will fade?

[@JillianGottlieb1]

redness is normal at the beginning! keep going, your skin will acclimate :)

[@laurapeters2899]

Im getting mixed messages about how to use it. Full face or spot treatment? Thank you!

[@JillianGottlieb1]

Massage it only into your melasma unless your doctor tells you otherwise!

[@dhanya6728]

Hi I used hydroquinone , tretinoin and fludocortison for 2 weeks from Gp and my skin was clear from all pigment , but 2 weeks after used my skin even tripple times darker and noticed pigment spred even verse than it was. After a month Dermatologist prescribed 4% hydroquinone , dexamethasone and tretinoin . Now I am using since 2 weeks , looks clear skin, but after 3 months does my skin gets darker. I am so worried. Please reply

[@AnastasiaXavelya]

Do we use it every night at first trial of hq? Or like once a week??

[@edisonkalimashi4085]

Should you leave the cream on face all night?

[@generosesultan5668]

Can used hydroquinone evning even summer?

[@JillianGottlieb1]

No we do not recommend using HQ or getting laser treatments in the summer!

[@sisisam09]

I used for 6 months. how long I have to take a break to use it agian?

[@JillianGottlieb1]

You should not use HQ for longer than 3 months! 3 Months tops, then take a break for a few months, repeat.

[@caitlinbrewer5754]

Just started using Hydroquinone 4%. (July) Why would it be a waste to start in the summer?

[@JillianGottlieb1]

Not recommended to use HQ in the summer, not a good mix with the sun! Always best to start HQ and laser treatments in the fall!

[@elham298]

I’m using HQ 4% for brightens my skin. Is it safe for 3 months ?

[@JillianGottlieb1]

Yes but you have to stop after that and take a break

[@SabitaLimbu-v1y]

How to use it?

[@karenberjuve]

Hi! I have been using hydroquinone 4% every night for a month and a half and my melasma looks darker, is it normal? I wear sunscreen religiously and avoid the sun completely.

[@simajerin1229]

Update pls

[@karenberjuve]

Hi! I kept going with the hydroquinone and eventually my melasma started getting litghter, after 3 months of daily use, I reduced the frecuence of application: 4 times a week, 3 times a week, twice a week, once a week and stop. So by the final of the fourth month I stopped completely. Never never never stop Hydroquinine cold turkey, it could lead to rebound hyperpigmentation.

[@indydarling6395]

Is it safe to use hydroquinone with Tretinoin?

[@JillianGottlieb1]

It is! You just have to acclimate to your HQ alone first for a few weeks before adding your Tret back into your routine.

[@tigistgidey4910]

4% hydroquinone cream safe breastfeed moms safe

[@agirlhasnoname1472]

My dr says that it’s not safe

[@claireh8032]

Hydroquinone is banned in EU. I don’t think people should risk their skin for that. Resorcin is a similar thing but safer.
