According to the Kenya bureau, the constant use of cosmetic products containing hydroquinone and mercury plus its compounds can result in rashes, swelling, redness or peeling, fatigue, weakness, bone pain and skin discoloration.

Exposure to high levels of these elements over long periods of time can lead to serious health problems such as kidney damage, digestive illnesses.

According to KEBS, mercury, oxidizing agents and hormonal preparations are used for treating various medical conditions.

They are therefore classified as drugs and should be applied only upon the advice and direction of a medical doctor.

All skin care preparations like creams, lotions, gels, soaps, etc. containing hydroquinone, steroids and hormonal preparations should be registered by the Pharmacy and Poisons Board of the Ministry of Health for medical use.
