Skin whitening = skin poison?

s it true that some skin whiteners being sold in supermarkets and drugstores have poison in them? I read an online article about a chemical called hydroquinone that is used in some skin whiteners. Hydroquinone is like acid because it can burn your skin if you use it too often.

Some of the effects of hydroquinone are quite bothersome. In the United States, it is said that hydroquinone is “unsafe for use in products that left on the skin, but due to LAX ENFORCEMENT, directions for skin lightening products containing hydroquinone encourage frequent and consistent use on the skin.”

And worst of all, it can cause CANCER!

I think people have to be careful when using skin whiteners with hydroquinone. It’s just too dangerous. Read up first on references about it because the effects are serious.

This might help. This is the article I read.
