Is hydroquinone safe? Q&A with a dermatologist| Dr Dray
Рет қаралды 439,128
Күн бұрынToday I address the safety of hydroquinone and answer your questions about hydroquinone causing cancer and liver damage.
This is an excellent comprehensive review article discussing the studies I mention here, as well as many others. The references cited in this paper overlap with studies mentioned in this video:
Levitt, J. The safety of hydroquinone: a dermatologist's response to the 2006 Federal Register. J Am Acad Dermatol. 2007 Nov;57(5):854-72. Epub 2007 Apr 27.

Thank you for this video, Dr. Dray. As a melasma sufferer, I appreciate the reassurance that I'm not causing myself more harm in the future while trying to lighten my pigment problems today. I have been using hydroquinone off and on for years and it's the only thing that seems to help. It does make my face quite red so I am looking forward to your videos on how to use it properly to (hopefully) reduce some of the irritation I tend to experience. Thank you again.

Hello Dr. Dray! Can you please do a "Dermatologist reacts to skin hack video" I don't know if you heard of these so called skin hacks some of them even put vagisil on their face and one puts black pepper and potato underneath the eyes apparently for dark circles. Just in case these are potential irritants, it would be great to get your point of view. If ther are indeed unsafe to please educate the impressionable people watching it. Also, note English is my second language so if the grammar is wrong or if I can't articulate myself well enough, that's the reason why. Happy Friday! 😊

OMG! Dr. Dray! This is awesome information! After many promptings from family, friends, etc, I decided to go to a dermatologist regarding the dark patch on my forehead. I explained that I noticed the patch spreads more when I'm in the sun. She prescribed a hydroquinone topical cream (4%), and a tretinoin topical cream (5%), because of my MELASMA. She also said I should use sunscreen. In the past, I was leery of using sunscreen because I have normal-to-oily skin. I know better now. Anywho, that appointment was in October, and I've been researching hydroquinone ever since, simply because of those fears you addressed.

You do realize that to get the same 2% concentration of Hydroquinone from something like a pear or coffee, you have to find some way to concentrate the crap out of it which may end up being detrimental to the skin. I think pears have like 4-15 ppm of Hydroquinone. 2% would be 20,000 ppm. It would be cheaper to just buy an over-the-counter Hydroquinone cream.

I use 4% hydroquinone and so far it's a miracle ingredient for my dark spots and it didn't bleach my skin and nor did i have discoloration after done using it. It slowly helps to fade the spots and it has minimum reaction which is little bit redness and dryness. I did not have any bad reaction. I would recommend to be honest.

Hi Andrea, I understand totally your intention to finish with the hydroquinone's demonization, it can be, I don't know a companies marketing strategy to outperform hydroquinone of the competition and then sell their skin bleachers?, it has happen before in the pharmaceutical industry, I only can buy hydroquinone as a skin bleach product in my country's pharmacies and your video gives calm to my life, because the message is "I can continue applying hydroquinone without any health danger". Thank you for so complete video.😊

How about hydroquinone vs kojic acid as a subtitute of hydrquinone? Is it more effective and less dangerous?
@ggtracy02 4 жыл бұрын
Hydroquinone is not dangerous...but I understand what you mean. Kojic acid is considered "safe". It is not as effective as hydroquinone, but it is a good substitute.

Texas Princess I was prescribed an ointment which has 2% alpha arbutin. I am scared, will it lead to skin thinning like hydroquinone? I have very bad acne spots and have brown skin.

I just found your channel and am enjoying your videos. My question is: do you recommend toner and (if so) what toners do you recommend? Or, rather, what ingredients should I be looking for/avoiding? Are they necessary? Toners have always been the only element of recommended skincare that I could never get on board with or find one that works well enough for me to use consistently. I apologize if you already covered this topic, but I did do a search of your channel and could not find anything specific on toners. Thank you!

@@contemplativegirl21 There are a couple of her videos in which she talks about how toners and serums are useless. lol. I dont think the two are specific "topics" but she just talks about it casually as she's showing us her skin care routine. Maybe check out one of her skin care routine videos? She gives a lot of information while just washing her face. Great stuff!

Thank you so much for this Dr. Dray. I have a surgical scar that I've been meaning to use Hydroquinone for. Your video has provided all the information I needed about Hydroquinone. When you mentioned that adverse side effects can occur when it's used long term, what do you consider as "long term"? Do you recommend cycling Hydroquinone (i.e. 3 months on, 3 months off)? Thank you so much for all that you do.

I'm glad I watched this. I have been thinking about using the Obagi nu-derm system. It has rave reviews on line and while I haven't spoken to my dermatologist about it, I noticed it does now say "hydroquinone free" and reviews aren't quite as good as they once were for the product. So, I guess this is a prescription now that you have to add back in?

Hello Dr Dray, l am sufering with melasma and l never quite realised the emotional impact it has on me until you mentioned it in this video. I am about to start a treatment with Tretinoin 0.025%/ Hydroquinone 4% cream and I have been very apprehensive of the effects the hydroquinone may have on my skin. You have been simply amazing in putting my mind to rest! 👍 Thank you very much for all your informative videos, your opinion l always one l rely on 👏 Please keep educating us! Catalina / UK

Catalina Randle Same here. I was just prescribed those creams this week for my melasma but have not yet started them. Im a bit nervous, because I have sensitive skin with rosacea. I was prescribed to use them both each night (not sure which one is supposed to go first), but I think I might start this routine by alternating the two each night until I know my skin can handle it. What do you do and how’s it going?
@catalinarandle6420 4 жыл бұрын
Rae8Anne , I stared my treatment on 9th June and I had no issues whatsoever! In general I don’t really have issues with my skin, I am not sensitive .... Having said that, the very first 2 days in my treatment I felt a slight tingling for an hour or so after applying the cream, but nothing major. My treatment is just one cream combining the 2 ingredients and I use it every night, this is what the dermatologist instructed. I do suggest keep a very very simple skincare routine , no acids , peels etc and must use sunscreen every day! Not sure if is what I want to see 😊 but I think there is a slight improvement in my melasma patches ( I have on forehead, cheekbones and upper lip ... typical places 🥺). I did quite a lot of research before starting the treatment 😊 just to try to avoid any unpleasant surprises. Let me know if there is anything else I can share from my experience 🤗 Good luck!

How would you compare Kojic Acid and Hydroquinone? Is Kojic Acid more effective or "safer"?
@DrDrayzday 6 жыл бұрын
not as effective; "safer" is not a fair assumption, as it is less regulated than hydroquinone

Not as effective, but it is a great substitute. And is considered "safer"...although hydroquinone is safe also (but I know what you mean).

Thank you, I really appreciate the info. I support the use of Hydroquinone for melasma, coming from a point where I had it all over my face. Hydroquinone really works, it just takes a lot of patience and time, because one can see the results after 4 months. Also the one I used in the past had a strong smell, so it was not pleasant at all, but today I am doing great. It will never go away completely, especially if exposed to the sun, that’s why your channel is so important , spreading the message of the SPF’s use. I used it even before discovering you, but now, I am even more diligent with the multiple applications. Grazie😘
