A member asked:
Can i use hydroquinone 2% on my under eye dark circles?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some issues: Hydroquinone 2% is available topically over the counter in some countries and is banned in some. 4% is available by prescription. Care should be used around the eyes because the skin tends to be thinner than in other areas and may be more prone to having a reaction or adverse effect. Consultation with a dermatologist on how to treat dark eye circles may be the best course.
