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.
