I understand the FDA is considering taking hydroquinone off the market while studies are being conducted. This product has been on the market for over 30 years with no reports of problems. Isn't that better than any lab study? Just because the product, when injected internally into rats, causes problems doesn't mean that there will be problems when the product is used as intended. Please reconsider pulling this important product off the market. It is a product I use daily and depend on it to keep the effects of sun damage under control. Thank you.
