Hydroquinone Cream

Beautiful, light skin without the slightest sign of any imperfections is the dream of many women. But unfortunately, freckles sometimes appear on the face, pigment spots, and the skin color itself turns gray. In such cases, the help comes with hydroquinone cream.

Hydroquinone is an active active ingredient that is part of many face creams with a whitening effect. In addition, it is contained in many other face care products, hair dyes and nail polishes. This component is responsible for the high level of lightening of the face, hair and nails, the destruction of pigment spots and freckles. This component is a whole set of various chemical compounds that artificially reduce the normal production of melanin in the skin, because of which it loses its natural color and becomes lighter.

Few people think that the cream with hydroquinone is harmful to human health. The uncontrolled and constant use of whitening products for the face with its addition can lead not only to the fact that melanin stops producing at all, but also to hyperpigmentation of the skin, changing its color without the possibility of further correction, and it can also cause serious health problems.

Hydroquinone differs from other bleaching components not only by its chemical origin, but also by its high toxicity, which many manufacturers for some reason prefer to keep silent about. The components that make up this bleaching additive have a very high level of carcinogens, which also get into the cream itself, as well as any other cosmetic products with hydroquinone.

When the cream comes into contact with the skin, the production of melanin is slowed down, but the skin itself becomes very vulnerable to the negative effects of ultraviolet radiation.

Due to the high content of carcinogens in this active substance, the skin cells with long-term contact with it begin to mutate and die hard. This additive is extremely dangerous for the eyes, even with the slightest contact with this substance, the eyesight can deteriorate greatly, and the skin around them can undergo strong pigmentation.

With the abuse of creams with hydroquinone collagen is actively destroyed in the skin cells, it begins to fade faster, it becomes more wrinkled. But the main problem is the appearance of ocronosis, that is, a strong change in skin color. Its shade may become gray, blue, or the skin, in general, will be covered with spots of different colors.

Over time, the skin becomes accustomed to this toxic substance and gradually stops reacting to it correctly. This leads to the fact that over time, even more aggressive and toxic agents will have to be used to achieve a visible whitening effect.

1. Lierac "Hydra-Chrono" This is an excellent moisturizing day cream, most of the composition of which includes botanical extracts. The content of hydroquinone is very small, so this tool can be used for the face rather as a moisturizing and prophylactic. To whiten and destroy, with its help, the existing dark pigment spots and freckles are almost impossible. However, it enjoys high popularity among customers because of the low level of hydroquinone and, consequently, the minimal toxicity of this product.
2. The cream from the American manufacturer Nadinola, contains a large amount of this active substance, namely as much as 3%. Therefore, it is not surprising that it is chosen to destroy even the strongest pigmentation of the face. It has a relatively light texture and is easy to apply on the face.
3. One of the most popular products is Astramin. At the moment, he is rightfully considered one of the best and most inexpensive whitening creams. It has a high content of hydroquinone in the composition, as well as a very oily texture. Therefore, it is not recommended to use it as an ordinary day cream, and even more so the foundation for makeup.

Despite assurances from some manufacturers that their product can replace the usual day cream, skin care specialists and dermatologists say that it is best to use whitening creams in the evening.

The higher the concentration of hydroquinone in the cream, the less it should be used. In this case, again, doctors strongly advise applying the agent only on the spots themselves and a small area of ​​skin around them.

Before applying the cream, you should thoroughly clean the face with a special means for washing, then the skin is thoroughly dried and only then a cream is applied on it. In the morning after waking up, its remains must also be removed from the face, using cleansers.

Like almost any cosmetic product, this product has its advantages, which include:

• A wide range of goods. Many brands are engaged in the production of such bleaching agents, which makes it possible to purchase both the product of a well-known manufacturer and the one who has just appeared on the market.
• Price availability. Most whitening creams with hydroquinone have a low cost.
• The possibility of universal acquisition. Whitening creams with hydroquinone are sold in regular stores, and in almost all pharmacies.
• Really effective whitening. Pigment spots disappear, and freckles just dissolve.

Among the most significant shortcomings of this product are the following:

1. High toxicity.
2. The presence of side effects in the form of discoloration of the skin and its increased hyperpigmentation.
3. The inability to use the funds on a bright sunny day, due to the lack of protection against ultraviolet radiation.

If for some reason hydroquinone cream does not suit you, you can purchase a product with a similar effect on pigment spots, the composition of which is less toxic. The best and safest analogues are considered the following ingredients that are part of the bleaching creams:

• Cranberry, strawberry and bearberry extracts are natural bleaches. In addition, they are safe for the skin, and nothing but good can not be given to her.
• Azelaic acid, is a component of wheat, rye and barley, therefore, just like the previous component, it is absolutely safe for the face, and most importantly has no toxicity.
• Vitamins A and E often called female beauty vitamins, they not only whiten the skin slightly, but also protect it from negative ultraviolet radiation, as well as nourish and moisturize it.
• Innovative innovation Lumixyl - This is a synthetic development of scientists. This supplement effectively removes the existing pigmentation on the skin and protects the face from its new manifestations.

Despite all the frightening characteristics of the cream with hydroquinone, customers still mostly speak positively about it. Indeed, the effect of skin whitening is very high, and the result becomes apparent after a couple of uses of the product. Low price, ease of use and economical consumption also, according to women, play an important role in choosing such a product. They also say that with the proper use of such a whitening cream and its course application, no side effects occur.
