What is Cos De BAHA 2% Hydroquinone +
Arbutin Serum?
Hydroquinone is a skin-lightening agent. It bleaches the skin,
which can be helpful when treating different forms of hyperpigmentation.
Historically, there’s been some back-and-forth on the safety of
hydroquinone. In 1982, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recognized the
ingredient as a safe and effective trusted Source.
Several years later, concerns about safety prompted retailers to
pull hydroquinone from the market. The FDA went on to discover that many of the
products in question contained contaminants like mercury. They established that
these contaminants were behind reports of adverse effects.
Since then, the FDA has confirmed that hydroquinone can be
safely sold over the counter (OTC) in 2 percent concentrations. which Cos
De BAHA has prepared for a long time. Now, check for yourself the effects
of improving the texture of your skin.

How can Hydroquinone make your skin
healthy?
- Hydroquinone bleaches your skin by decreasing the number of
melanocytes present. Melanocytes make melanin, which is what produces your skin
tone.
- In cases of hyperpigmentation, more melanin is present due to an
increase in melanocyte production. By controlling these melanocytes, your skin
will become more evenly toned over time.
- It takes about four weeks on average for the ingredient to take
effect. It may take several months of consistent use before you see full
results.

Safety Warning:
After using this product continuously for 60 days you'll
need to give your skin a break and stop using the serum for 30 days. Users of
hydroquinone can develop resistance if used continuously without a break and
also risk developing a condition called Ochronosis which is a permanent
darkening of the skin. While this is a rare condition, it's still important
