Question:
What are over-the-counter creams that contain hydroquinone?
I want to get one to lighten some dark spots and fade acne marks.
Answers:
Hydroquinone is in Acne Scarring Lotion from AcneFree line(University Medical). This product is in Acne Scarring kit, also contains SPF-15 oil-free moisturizer. Look for University Medical AcneFree line in your pharmacy or in Target.
Kojic Acid could be even more effective for lightening up dark spots and other skin discolorations. You won't find products with it over-the-counter, but it is in many department store lines, such as Origins, or in Jan Marini professional line lotion (there the percentage of it is higher, thus more effective). Kojic Acid is derived from a Japanese mushroom and was used for centuries in Asia.
Home remedy for dark spots and acne marks is lemon juice mixed with honey or alone.
And don't forget to wear sunscreen - sun darkens the spots.
