USES:
Quinol has a variety of uses principally associated with its action as a reducing agent that is soluble in water.
Quinol is a major component in most black and white photographic developers for film and paper where, with the compound metol, it reduces silver halides to elemental silver.

There are various other uses associated with its reducing power.
As a polymerisation inhibitor, exploiting its antioxidant properties, Quinol prevents polymerization of acrylic acid, methyl methacrylate, cyanoacrylate, and other monomers that are susceptible to radical-initiated polymerization.

By acting as a free radical scavenger, Quinol serves to prolong the shelflife of light-sensitive resins such as preceramic polymers.
Quinol can lose a hydrogen cation from both hydroxyl groups to form a diphenolate ion.
The disodium diphenolate salt of Quinol is used as an alternating comonomer unit in the production of the polymer PEEK.

Skin Depigmentation:
Quinol is used as a topical application in skin whitening to reduce the color of skin.
Quinol does not have the same predisposition to cause dermatitis as metol does.

Quinol is a skin-lightening agent.
Quinol bleaches the skin, which can be helpful when treating different forms of hyperpigmentation.

How does Quinol work?
Quinol whitens your skin by reducing the number of melanocytes present.
Melanocytes produce melanin, which makes up your skin tone.

In cases of hyperpigmentation, more melanin is present due to the increase in melanocyte production.
Quinol controls these melanocytes so that your skin becomes more even-toned over time.

What skin conditions can benefit from it?
Quinol is used to treat skin conditions related to hyperpigmentation.
These are:
*acne scars
*age spots
*freckles
*melasma
*post-inflammatory marks from psoriasis and eczema

Quinol can help fade red or brown spots that have lingered
Quinol can help minimize acne scarring

Quinol is used to lighten the dark patches of skin (also called hyperpigmentation, melasma, "liver spots," "age spots," freckles) caused by pregnancy, birth control pills, hormone medicine, or injury to the skin.
Quinol works by blocking the process in the skin that leads to discoloration.

Quinol blocks an enzyme in the pigment-producing pathway of the body
Quinol is a skin lightening agent available as either a pharmaceutical or a cosmeceutical.

Quinol, a bleaching agent, is most frequently used to treat melasma.
Quinol is a cosmetic procedure that aims to lighten dark areas of skin or achieve a generally paler skin tone.
