Is hydroquinone safe? Q&A with a dermatologist| Dr Dray

Today I address the safety of hydroquinone and answer your questions about hydroquinone causing cancer and liver damage.
This is an excellent comprehensive review article discussing the studies I mention here, as well as many others. The references cited in this paper overlap with studies mentioned in this video:
