I dont' think they do....cuz they are all natural (is hydroquinone a natural ingrediant???)....I was just looking at the fact that the hydroquinone was a skin lightener....and had no idea if other eye creams use that ingrediant.woah! Kelly I think if your eye products have hydroquinone in them, they would be banned too.
Hydroquinone is not natural. I havnt seen any eye creams with it.I dont' think they do....cuz they are all natural (is hydroquinone a natural ingrediant???)....I was just looking at the fact that the hydroquinone was a skin lightener....and had no idea if other eye creams use that ingrediant.
Thank you, good to know....now ask me that word tomorrow and I may have already forgot (must be this age thing - LOL).Hydroquinone is not natural. I havnt seen any eye creams with it.
The FDA does a decent job in regulating drugs. But the problem I see is when a company wants to make a natural product, they cant legally flat out say it helps with some medical condition. Because in order to make those claims the product has to be approved by the FDA which costs a ton of money. And no company is going to spend that money to get approval on a natural product because you can't own the rights to it.I think the FDA tries to ban a lot of things found in nature because you can't patent it and make a profit from it if it's something found in nature.
and to rishi, i totally agree with you on the point about companies using natural products as away to get around laws that prohibit products making false claims for proving safetly and effectiveness.The FDA does a decent job in regulating drugs.

well that's because hydroquinone does have its benefits and helps alot of people that have issues with age spots and melasma. If you use it with a prescription, at least it means a doctor knows how much you are using and you most likely won't abuse it. It's only the people that abuse hydroquinone for whitening their skin that end up suffering from the side effects. In small amounts it's okay. I bet alot of drugs can cause cancer if you don't use them correctly.That is Bull Crap!
So even if they are aware that HQ is a possible carcinogen, they would still allow it to sell as long as they have prescription!
What does it tell you?? They are heartless sons of *****es, that's what it mean!![]()
