What are vitamin a/retinol cosmetic products that do not have hydroquinone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Safer: Hydroquinone is a synthetic chemical that is used a skin lightner. It can be very toxic and is banned in europe which had stricter regulations than the us. It is particularly more dangerous for women of color who are more likely to use it. Avoid it.
