Hydroquinone is one of the most effective molecules for the treatment of hyperpigmentary disorders, with over 40 years of efficacy and safety data. Concerns over its safety have been raised because of the fact that it is a derivative of
Jacob Levitt
Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 57(5), 854-872 (2007-05-01)
Recently, the US Food and Drug Administration proposed a ban on over-the-counter hydroquinone mainly on the basis of high absorption, reports of exogenous ochronosis in humans, and murine hepatic adenomas, renal adenomas, and leukemia with large doses over extended time
Yaqi Hu et al.
Biosensors & bioelectronics, 47, 45-49 (2013-04-03)
A novel light "on-off" photoelectrochemical sensing for the sensitive determination of hydroquinone was developed based on the porphyrin-functionalized Au nanoparticles on graphene (porphyrin/AuNPs/graphene). Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were firstly modified onto graphene sheets using NaBH4 as reductant and the porphyrin/AuNPs/graphene nanocomposites
