What it is
1. Hydroquinone may cause irritation or allergies in some people. Please conduct a patch test before use. 2. Avoid use if you have previously experienced redness or rashes from cosmetics or if you have sensitive skin. 3. How to Use: After washing your face at night and exfoliating with lotion or emulsion, take an appropriate amount (rice grain size) in your hand and gently pat it onto the affected area. Apply only to the affected area, not the entire face. Since hydroquinone-treated skin is more susceptible to UV rays, avoid use during the day and use it exclusively as a nighttime treatment. 4. Precautions for Use: Do not use on thin areas of skin (such as the eyelids), or if you have cuts, swelling, or eczema. Check carefully for any skin abnormalities before use. If you experience any abnormalities such as redness, swelling, itchiness, irritation, discoloration (white spots, etc.) or darkening during or after use, or if the above-mentioned abnormalities occur after direct sunlight on the skin where the product was used, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.. After opening, close the container cap tightly and store away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, and high humidity. Do not store in the refrigerator.

I've only been using it for about a week, so I haven't seen any results yet. However, it seems to be absorbed well into my skin, and it seems to have lightened a little.
I bought this because I've been noticing dark spots on my cheeks over the years. I've been using it every night for a week now. I haven't noticed any fading yet, but the texture is smooth and absorbs well into my skin, and it feels moisturizing. I plan to continue using it!
I bought this in the hopes of it having a whitening effect. I've been using it for about five days, pinpointing and applying it to the areas of concern. I haven't seen any results yet, but I plan to continue using it.
It seems to work well. It separates easily, so you have to be careful about where you store it. When I applied it to pigmentation, it peeled off the skin and made my skin one tone lighter. It doesn't irritate my skin if I apply it only to dark spots, so I plan to continue using it.
I was surprised at how small it was! Lol, but it spreads very well and isn't sticky. I'm using it on the bruises on my calves. I've only used it once, but it seems to have lightened a little... I'll wait and see!
