Here are some links which may provide some information.

The thing about creams with Hydroquinone is that they take a long time to work and you must apply them religiously several times a day in addition it is paramount to protect your skin from the sun. Daily use of hats and sunscreen with a minimum of 30 SPF should become second nature.

That being said.... do I do these things every day. No, that's why the dark stains on my face have not diminished as much as I'd like. My dermatologist said she'd give me a prescription for stronger Hydroquinone cream but I haven't been back to see her yet.
