Hydroquinone works by pulling out the melanin in skin cells, which causes discoloration and hyperpigmentation of the skin. In theory, that's ideal in a skin lightening product but what many of us are not aware of, is that prolonged use of hydroquinone has been associated with the development of hyperpigmentation, especially in darker skin tones. So the result is more often worse than we anticipated  

A great, safe and natural alternative is Arbutin agent and Kojic acid. Arbutin is extracted from bearberry plant with natural lightening benefits due to it inhibits tyrosinase and thus prevents the formation of melanin. Kojic acid  comes from a type of fungi (mushrooms) and can be harvested from numerous species. It can also be derived from plant sources too, such as the case during rice fermentation.

As a result,very natural alternatives yet still very effective
