Thanks very much your for response. What do you mean

by " cannot go out in the sun at all or you will be

worse than you started " I always wear

sunscreen--every day, all seasons, have for years.

What is the alternative products you spoke about that

don't contain this? Could you share more info with

us?

Is hydroquinone a suspected cardinogen? Marjorie are

you familiar this?

I think I may have used this type of product about 10

years ago--I had the " mask of pregnancy " look, (looked

like dirt on my upper cheeks). I used a lightening

type RX (don't remember name). Did I do serious

damage then? It looked OK after the

treatment.....maybe I damaged the layers and opened

myself to spiders and rosacea....? But I've had thin

skin and spiders since my mid twenties--was told it

possibly due to: the pill, heredity, sun damage.

Since then, I've used sunscreen.

Always confused.....lately - Michele
