hydroquinone..why its good to combine with tretinoin
i always use hq with tretinoin, below is an excerpt from wikipedia to show u why.
Dermatology
Tretinoin is most commonly used as a form of acne treatment.[1] It was the first retinoid developed for this type of topical use. Tretinoin is the best studied retinoid in the treatment of photoaging.[2] It is used by some as a hair loss treatment and also a component of many commercial products that are advertised as being able to slow skin aging or remove wrinkles. Topical tretinoin is also used to treat and reduce the appearance of stretch marks by increasing collagen production in the dermis.[3]
Leukemia
In addition, tretinoin (marketed as Vesanoid) is also used to treat at least one form of cancer (acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), also called acute myeloid leukemia subtype M3), usually together with other drugs, by causing the immature blood cells to differentiate (i.e. mature).[4][5] The pathology of the leukemia is due to the highly proliferative immature cells; retinoic acid drives these cells to develop into functional cells, which helps to alleviate the disease. It is usually prescribed for 15 days every 3 months at about 8-10 10 mg capsules per day.

hydroquinone..the myth and the truth
Hydroquinone...so much have been said about this chemical used in lightening products.
1.it causes luekemia..yes it does in rats....! rats have thin skin and some test labs actually fed them hq!of course you will die if you drink bleaching agent! they have tested on human via skin patch...no changes no blood cancer on us human!.
2.when u use products that contains hq or any bleaching agents please use sunscreen.
3.do not use benzyl peroxide with hq it will cause darkstains on skins. if you have acne use hq with tretinoin products such as natasya,rtd baby face etc. baby face however is once a week application.40mg hydroq is 4percent..so its safe.
4.babyface again i remind you shud be used once a week.
5.natasya or and gel cream based contains less then 20mg hydroq ,from observation its lightening effect took few days and no peeling.so its safe to use 14days a month or every other day. or everyday after applying serums or water based essences. i dilute the gel in water based essences like sk2.
6.do not use if youre pregnant or on malaria pills. combination of malaria pills and hydroq causes bluish black stain on skin in african skin. i think the hair follicles basically produces the sstain due to this combination.
