I am concerned about using products that contain hydroquinone, as I have heard it is a suspected carcinogen. Does this product contain Hydroquinone?

The Rapid Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Serum in the kit contains Hydroquinone. I had an allergic reaction to it which included red, sensitive skin and breakouts which took 4 weeks to clear. The dermatologist told me many people have this allergy and are not aware of it. If you purchase, I'd use with caution. Since I had a negative experience with the product, I did additional research and read likewise it is a suspected carcinogen.

This is not ubiquinol....it's two different products. Feel free to check out the details on nutrigold.com

Suzanne, I do not know which of the ingredients would cause cancer. I've used this product for years without any problems. Its a great product to rid of your calloused dry skin on feet and elbows. Rub on and into dry area until skin sloughs off, then rinse well and dry.Sorry I could not be more specific.

Indian herbs. The product is effective though. It doesn't have Hydroquinone in it, I know because I am allergic to that ingredient when I use large amounts.

Yes....Contains Coenzyme Q10, a naturally-occurring formula in the body that defends against skin aging.

It does not state on the bottle how much Vit C it contains. I just see it has hydroquinone, glycolic acid, licorice root extract & two other ingredients I don't recognize.

No. It will not make a difference. Hydroquinone does not lighten dark, under eye circles. Research Mayo clinic's website, or another reputable medical institution's site to learn about under eye dark circles.

Yes. It does indeed contain such chemicals, but I've seen enough of those that I don't really try to avoid them. If, however, you like playing it extra safe, you might want to avoid it.

Sorry, I have thrown the bottle away and I don't know the answer to that. I am no longer using this product, as my doctor recommends Qunol CoQ 10 for best absorption. It would be safest for you to contact the manufacturer of either product and ask about those ingredients.

I have been using this product for many years, with no ill effects. The U.S. Department of Health deems it safe for normal use. I am currently using an Equate (Walmart brand) of the same item. That product does not specify parabens in it. Works okay. I am not concerned about the parabens. It was in so many products that I have used through the years. Hope this is helpful to you.

As the other reviewers mentioned; this product does not contain oil or retinol. I've noticed with RoC products; if they do contain retinol it is always noted on the packaging and label. Especially since this is the ingredient that most consumers using their products are looking for. At least I do. I use this in conjunction with their face cream that does contain retinol. They really do go hand in hand. I don't think I'd get the results I've gotten otherwise.

Water is a "chemical" technically but I guess you mean "harmful chemicals" and the listed ingredients read well enough (Phenoxyethanol is controversial but any product with water has to have a preservative) The bigger problem is this brand has other products that are obviously missing certain ingredients and only list good ones so I do not trust "Pure Body Naturals" to have honest ingredients lists.

I don't believe so because the ingredients in there are in our everyday consumption. However, I would probably consult with your doctor just to make sure it doesn't interfere with any of the medications you are currently taking. Sorry, I know that wasn't much help.

Hello - Glad to help with my answer. No, this product does not contain Glycolic. Use it for two weeks then switch to Brown Spot Night Gel for two weeks which contains Glycolic Acid and Hydroquinone. Also, use the Light Skin Peel. If your brown spots are light it should work. After months of use mine are still there. Good luck!

I am glad you are questioning this product it did not tast very good first of all then I saw there was carrageenan in it!!! The things healthy people have to understand is how bad carrageenan is (cancer causing) and the manufacturers of "organic foods put this horrible thing in yogurts soy milk, almond milk...I can go on and on anyway I pitched the rest of the box when I thoroughly read the ingredients. Be aware of things like this!

I agree that it does have Propylene Glycol in its ingredients because it is listed right on the bottle. I looked it up online and it is referred to by one source as a mild carcinogen which was news to me since I am a cancer survivor. I intend to do more research on this. S. Phipps

Good question. I researched the scientific literature and concluded that the amount of parabens present in this product is not worrisome for me. I suggest you read the literature available on line through PubMed in order to feel comfortable with the product.
