I may have asked this earlier but I cant remember what post and where it was so sorry in advance, paheli mentioned that using this may have certain side effect where skin darkens. is this a first reaction will you notice it once u use it. or does it darken gradually over time even if u have been ysing it properly with no side effects for a long time. thanks.
Re: another q about hydroquinone.
The condition is called exogenous ochronosis. From what little I've read on it, it happens gradually over time. Not something you'll notice after 1 or 2 use.
Re: another q about hydroquinone.
After it dries, apply sunscreen at least 10 mins before going out to avoid pigmentation. Or if you are indoors in a well lit area such as your home, you should still apply sunscreen.

Re: another q about hydroquinone.
Technically you should not be using it for longer than 2 months at a time
