The Wall Street Journal published an article this month that described
how the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been trying to ban a
common ingredient in skin care products as a cancercausing agent.
It's called hydroquinone. It's also used as an insecticide and in
photographic development agents. Stick to organic, all natural skin
care products.
The stuff works by burning away dead skin cells, not rejuvenating them
like all natural products do.
The original Wall Street Journal article can be read on this site:

Read it, I suggest, before you plunk down $100 for some fancynamed
jar of harsh chemicals.

Urushiol is an all natural ingredient produce by Rhus toxicodendron,
Rhus diversiloba, and Rhus vernix. But if you expect me to recommend
applying the active ingredient from poison ivy, poison oak, and poison
sumac, I think the $100 product would be safer. Or better yet, nothing
at all.
