but I'd like to try some 4% hydroquinone. I've tried the 2% already over an extended period of time but with no noticeable difference.

Does anyone know where I could get 4% hydroquinone without having a prescription? I've checked ebay and no one is selling the concentration I need and I've also checked other places online but all of them require a prescription, which I don't have.

Believe me, I'm not trying to break the law or anything, and I think by me having these redmarks for over six months, is doing more harm than I'd be doing by getting it without a prescription. Oh, and for you conservative ones, I did ask my dermatologist and he said that there's nothing that could be done about my red marks and that only time would fade them. I know for a fact this is untrue b/c of my research on hydroquinone which has proved as a primary pigment inhibitor in many medical studies.

Maya,

thank you very much. i completely forgot that i what may require a prescription here in the states may not necessarily apply to overseas.
just one question though, if i do order the 4% hydroquinone from one of the links you posted, is there any way for the authorities to track it?

I very much doubt it.

It says in their FAQ, they ship to Canada and States, so it must be ok.

Glad I caught you at this late hour, Maya.

Do you have any experience with any of these brands you posted? They seem to be about the same price per gram.
I tried Makeupalley.com and couldn't find anything in their database.

No, I've never used hydroquinine.

I'm just waiting for my probiotic supplement to kick in before I go eat breakfast! biggrin.gif

Ah yes, this is for your internal cleansing regimen, correct?

For a while I was keeping up with that particular thread...very interesting stuff.

Not just for cleansing... but for overall intestinal health ... get that friendly bacteria in there ya know? It is essential for people who do flushing mind ... but also essential for people who have taken medication especially antibiotics.
