An ingredient previously banned
from skin lightening cosmetic creams due to its damaging
effects on the skin has now been found to cause cancer,
claims a review published by Dr W Westerhof and T Kooyers ,
two of Europe's leading authorities on pigmentation in
dermatology.
Hydroquinone was banned from
use within cosmetics in January 2001 due to its well
documented topical effects on skin, however new research has
shown that it also may have more worrying long term effects
and the review expresses concern that hydroquinone is still
ending up on the UK market via two routes.
