Can hydraquinone 4% be used safely on face to treat hyperpigmentation ?

Yes: Yes hydroquinone can be used to treat hyper pigmentation. You definitely need to see a dermatologist or plastic surgeon first to assess your skin type and condition. There are side effects of the medication such as HYPOpigmentation, so its important you are using correctly.
