Are ​Your Cosmetics Making You Sick?

HYDROQUINONE – This topical lightening ingredient is used to fade dark skin spots caused when skin produces excess melanin in response to sun damage. Hydroquinone is banned in some countries because it's linked to ochronosis, a disease that may cause chronic health problems. With less than forty documented cases of ochronosis in the U.S., dermatologists continue using hydroquinone lightening products. No big deal? If you or someone you love was one of those forty ochronosis sufferers, would you think it such a small risk?

Murad Age Spot & Pigment Lightening Gel fades dark spots without hydroquinone.
