Hello. Thanks for you query

This cream contains hydroquinone as one of its ingredients. Hydroquinone has irritation potential.
Since hydroquinone can cause skin irritation, manifesting as redness and burning therefore it is safer to use it initially for just 30 min to 1 hour daily and be watchful for any unusual sensitivity.
If it is tolerated well and there is no untoward side effects or irritation, the duration of aplication can be gradually increased to 2 hours and then made overnight.
Gradually increasing the duration of application also gives time for the skin to adjust to it.

Regards
