*- Update (Canada): There are a number of risks associated with skin-lightening products that contain hydroquinone at concentrations greater than 2%. Hydroquinone greater than 2% for use on the skin may:
- cause severe skin redness, burning or stinging, dryness or cracking of the skin, blisters or oozing, or skin discolouration.
- cause cancer in laboratory animals, and potentially in humans.
- be harmful to the environment.
To mitigate these risks, hydroquinone at concentrations above 2% for use on the skin will be added to the Prescription Drug List. This means that these products will be available by prescription only, under the oversight of a health care professional, rather than without a prescription. It is important to note that products currently on the market and available by prescription containing higher concentrations of hydroquinone will not be affected by this change.
