At What Point Will Hydroquinone Stop Working on Fading Age Spots?

October 18, 2010
Asked By:Misty H. in Anaheim CA

I have been using hydroquinone for the past 8 months and retin a for the past 4 months to fade sunspots on my shoulders and chest. I have seen some improvement. Is there a time that hydroquinone has done all it can do and using it any longer won't do any additional good?
