What the gurus are saying
Hydroquinone earns consistent praise as the gold standard and best-studied ingredient for fading dark spots and post-acne marks. It works across various pigmentation concerns, from acne-related marks to sun spots and melasma, making it valuable for multiple types of discoloration. For anyone with stubborn spots tretinoin alone hasn't budged, combining it with hydroquinone is the next step.
