Hi lybrate-user! hydroquinone can cause dryness and irritation in few individuals. First and foremost ,please stop hydroquinone few days. Use moisturiser like nivea cream or any other good one 2 to 3 times a day to prevent dryness. Stop using soap /face wash for few days to prevent dryness. Instead use plain water for cleansing the face for few days. Once everything sets, you can switch on to plain koijc or glycolic cream as skin lightening agent for maintenance.
