Eh, it's okay Nov 02, 2008
By LawyerMom
I got this item because it was recommended by Cosmopolitan magazine for women with my skin type -- a light to dark brown complexion, e.g. Middle Eastern, Indian, or Southeast Asian. Women with this skin tend to suffer from hyperpigmentation or melasma which results in age/liver spots or dark patches of skin on their face and arms. It can be be worsened by exposure to sun. Women with this skin also tend to get dark spots resembling bruises that take awhile to go away whereever they get bug bites or other skin injuries.
Hydroquinone can be used to lighten these patches and the DDF Fade Gel 4 has hydroquinone in the strongest concentration possible. I had previously used another drugstore product which came as a white cream, had the same concentration of hydroquinone, but was much cheaper. Unfortunately, it resulted in a slight sunburned look in every spot that I applied it, which is one of the possible side effects. (I looked ridiculous, with red patches around my eyes, nose, and mouth.) To avoid this side effect, you ought to (and the package says so) avoid direct sunlight as much as possible after application and during use of the product.
With the DDF Fade Gel 4, I was happy that I suffered from no adverse side effects: no burning sensations; no sunburned skin; and it actually was effective in lighting the dark skin pigmentation around my eyes, mouth, nose, and the dark spots left behind wherever I got mosquito bites on my legs and arms. It definitely worked, but don't expect miracles.
My biggest complaint about the product however, was that the gel was a dark caramel color. The result was that when you applied it to your skin, it actually made the area of application darker for the period that it is on your face. And if you're not careful about using only the smallest amounts, you'll end up with the product dried and caked onto the application areas, which will flake off if you rub at it (and since it's a caramel color, it's definitely noticeable).
Moreover, it's a very expensive product and you get a very small jar. I think that I'll just experiment with some of the cheaper products in the future that also contain 2% hydroquinone.
