Skin Care Review: eb5 age spot formula

by Anonymous, Carmel, CA USA

Rating
Adverse Effects

Benefits
For the lightening and elimination of age spots, liver spots, discoloration

Drawbacks
It contains hydroquinone and may cause allergic reaction

Details
I've used prescrition hydroquinone 4% and my face swelled, blistered, and turned ghastly red. I thought this lower percentage 2% hydroquinone maybe more gentle to my skin, but by the second day use, my face was bright red, with heat rash and watery bumps. My eyes were swollen, too. I've heard hydroquinone is effective for many, but in my case, it had terrible effects. I noticed some freckles were lightened after the swelling and color subsided, but the product was not compatible for my skin type.

Conclusions
test product on the underside of your arm first before applying to face

Price (paid by reviewer)
25

Where to find it
