thanks for sharing, there was a report on the news last year on how some of those soaps contain mercury. Alot of the beauty supply store had those soaps in stock.

Well, there are a wealth of brands outside of the States. If women really want it, they will find a way. Now if they tried to propose a ban like this in India, all hell would break loose!

Oohh scary. I used to use Obagi Clear which is a hydroquinone. we sold it at the Plastic Surgerons office where I worked. Although, I never had that problem with the grey skin.
