Sara: I guess it’s a matter of threshold…and it’s always good to know so that you decide what’s best for yourself. :)

Thanks for writing this article. Incidentally, my mum's dermatologist just prescribed her a tube of "Fade Cream" to fade away her brown spots, which was actually 5% hydroquinone. I was shocked to find out about this, and I asked her if the doctor mentioned she should stop using it after 8 weeks and she said no! Really shocked by those "experts" that we have been paying so much money to rely on to solve our skin woes. <font color="#990033"><strong>Nurul</strong>: 5% is very high! Please ask your mom to use with caution. As for the doc, I guess that's why we often hear the expression "ask for a 2nd opinion."</font> Oh wow!

Is it because you have it on places with acne? The first time I use (Monday), I have a red bump that is dried on the surface at my underchin. The mask rip the top dried bit off. And there was blood!!! My goodness...but I wiped the blood of and good, can squeeze out that darn thing when previously I couldn't coz it didn't come to the surface. And now its healed. And it barely left a little shadow. :D Hmmm....maybe I really didn't put enough. But my friend who regularly uses it say as long as I put on enough for it to look opaque, can already. It left little bits of black on my face after I peel off. So, I use my invigorating cleansing lotion aka my current toner to dissolve whats left on my face. My toner is pretty neat. <font color="#990033"><strong>pf</strong>: No, it wasn't my acne. I can't remember if I applied a lot but maybe I over applied at some areas. Hey, I received your email but I cannot open docx version. Can re-send me in doc format?</font> So bad???
