[edit] Article needs expansion
The article doesn't mention anything about hydroquinone being used for cosmetic purposes, and that it is the main ingredient in fading/bleaching creams which are widely available in drugstores (at least in the U.S.) with 2 percent hydroquinone (prescription creams contain 3, 4, 5 percent). The article doesn't mention how it "reduces the color of the skin" (it inhibits the production of melanin). Those are just some of the points that should be covered. --Inahet 05:31, 18 July 2006
