What Hydroquinone alternative can I use for my face?

I suggest a non hydroquinone lightening agent or vitamin A, C and kojic acid.  Arbutin, licorice root are good alternatives.  Many companies like PCA skin have great non HA lighteners.  Best, Dr. Emer.

There are many alternatives to Hydroquinone that are less irritating on your skin, but they may have to be used in combination to deliver same results. Those includes products containing mequinol, retinoids combinaed with Azelaic acid product, Arbutin, Kojic acid and many others. It is important to intake vitamins A, B, and C, and drink a lot of water. Keep using your sunscreen. Good luck! 

There are various non-hydroquinone lighteners that can be used to help with pigmentation, such as lytera, skin sceuticals advanced pigment corrector etc. There are also various antioxidant serums with a Vitamin C base which help with pigmentation. Others include, Kojic acid, Azelaic acid , and retinol creams. I would recommend you see a board certified dermatologist to determine which product is best for you. 

Thank you for your question.  There are many non-hydroquinone based skin lighteners/brighteners including elure, lumixyl, etc.  Most are based around Vitamin C, licorice, kojic acid, vitamin a, azelaic acid, etc.  Please be evaluated and managed by a board certified Dermatologist.  Regards, Dr. Matt Elias

There are many hydroquinone alternatives such as Vitamin C, licorice based, or Retinol products to lighten the skin.  Please consult a dermatologist who is familiar with cosmetics for the best results.  Fraxel and Clear & Brilliant both help reduce the pigmentation along with chemical peels. Best, Dr. Green

There are other creams and lotions you can use including Lytera, as well as antioxidants such as vitamin B, C and Vitamin A. These can be bought as product or compounded by a pharmacist. Dr Davin Lim Brisbane, Australia.
