Whats the consensus on using Hydroquinone under the eyes

[Rabbi]

Hydroquinone is probably the most tested tyrosinase inhibitor with decent strength to back.

But theres the question of undereye use, I keep seeing constant mixed messaging around whether or not it can be used under the eyes for dark circles.
Anybody here used it for that purpose? Im kind of hesitant because I applied tret too close to the undereye and it caused horrid peeling.

Im not sure rabbi. However I use under eye creams and they were all cope, my skin tightend around that area from reaching very low body fat % , this may be ur only solution.

Mine is defo hyperpigmentation, I have uneven dark circles around my eyes because through my teen years I had brutal eczema around the eyes that left bruising from damage. I used a Vitamin C undereye cream but it was teracope as you say.

I couldn't tell you exactly I genuinely just think I grew out of it by the time I was 16/17, I think the skin barrier thickens during puberty. Still though if its really dry during winter it definitely starts to flake, in which case I slap on moisturiser.
