A member asked:
Which -over the counter- bleaching agents are safest to lighten skin on hands?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not effective: Over the counter contain 2 per cent hydroquinone which is not very effective. Revaleskin, or prescription lustra or epiquin micro are more effective. Revaleskin contains coffeberry extract and is not irritating. It is also less expensive then others.
