  • Good things do not come cheap. There is no price for maintaining your skin. Hydroquinone is cheap for several reasons you should do your own research. The cost of getting cheap instead of trusted, safe and quality will cost you in the long run when health issues arise. Daily life is faced with many obstacles and problems don't enhance it with cost.

  • It is good to educate yourself on everything and this product may not be worth watching for you but the benefits is priceless.

  • @corporacionmonstruo thank goodness.

  • @sniped101 wrong,FDA and UMA only aproves drugs tested on clinical trials,phase III,Humans.

  • @BrazoDelDiablo the research of most things that we use have only been tested on rats.

  • which product are they advertising?

  • International College of Technology Hydroquinone Abstract > ijt.sagepub.com/content/13/3/1­67.abstract

    At most 1 percent has been deemed safe.

  • The only research made is on rats!!! Come on....

  • what about free radical damage from hydroquinone. i don't see this as an ad for dermalogica. i was trained at IDI and they do have the best education for estheticians. They are at the front when it comes to safe ingredients. when we react to ingredients it is because our skin is not used to the molecules. but once you do get used to it those things go a away. always start slow with any new skin care products, i currently do not use dermalogica but very grateful for my awesome education

  • This is an ad for Dermalogica ... not worth the watch
