Abstract：
Hydroquinone has been used for years for multiple conditions, including melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, dyschromia from photoaging, and solar lentigines. It is known to be a very effective lightening agent, but several concerns have been raised about this widely used agent. The recent U.S. ban on over-the-counter skin lightening products containing hydroquinone has prompted further questioning of the safety of this widely used agent. While there have been prior informative, large-scale reviews on the safety of hydroquinone, new findings have since been reported. Here, we provide an updated review of studies published in the past 15 years on hydroquinone safety.
摘要：
对苯二酚已用于多种条件多年，包括黄褐斑,炎症后色素沉着过度,光老化导致的色素异常，和太阳扁豆。它被认为是一种非常有效的增亮剂，但是这种广泛使用的药物引起了一些关注。美国最近禁止含有对苯二酚的非处方美白产品，这促使人们进一步质疑这种广泛使用的药物的安全性。虽然以前有资料，关于氢醌安全性的大规模审查，此后有新的发现。这里,我们对过去15年发表的氢醌安全性研究进行了最新综述.
