Comment:
This topical takes about 3 months to see results but once results are seen, you will be very happy and feel more confident. I have Melasma around cheek area especially during summer months it's very obvious, I help by wearing sunscreen daily. I love this topical. I used it for 6 months active using and 3 months off.

Comment:
Hello all, hoping some one can help, I have begun to use 4% hydroquinone for about a week now and have developed a rash, irritation and very small pimples on the area applyed. I have only applied it once at night as the dermatologist recommend. I am going to stop using this product. But how can I make the itching/redness go away?
