hydroquinone has NOT been directly linked to Cancer in humans only to mice but has a side-effect on humans as it causes pigmentation of the eye and permanent corneal damage. Being a metabolite of benzene, hydroquinone has potential mutagenic properties and alterations to DNA. Most skin-whitening serums and creams currently available contain 2% hydroquinone.
