For Hyperpigmentation: I have just received my shipment of prescription Acella hydroquinone 4% from GeniusRx yesterday, 9/26/2022. I have never used this brand (Acella) before and it is positively awful. It is very lightweight, oily and creamy, like a lotion. When you apply it and start rubbing it in, it doesn't seem to be absorbed by the skin and instead, it starts to roll up into little particles on your skin. The base color is tan but when it starts rolling up on your skin, it turns dark brown like chocolate. It is horrible. When I contacted GeniusRX about it today, they did not want to refund my money, nor replace it with a different brand. I paid $109 for it so I am going to use it to see if it works as long as, and unless, it starts to irritate or damage my skin. I normally use 4% hydroquinone by Westminster Pharmaceuticals. It is a great product! It absorbs into the skin well and works relatively fast, but it is so expensive. The truth is you get what you pay for. The Westminster can be as much as $50 a tube and the tubes for both brands are small - the same size 1 oz (28.35 g). The Acella is $13.00 per tube - no wonder! I guess I will use my GoodRX and get it for $25-$28.00.
