Hi,

Hydroquinione is not meant for using anything as a gluing substance. It is basically a skin lightening agent or to simply say a skin lightening agent.

We do not prefer to use it as a glue or a sticking substance as it should not be used for longer period of time in contact with he skin as a gluing agent. Though we use it for few hours a day as skin lightening agent but in that case too it is not in contact with skin for longer time.

In case if you are using as a glue then it can remain on skin for longer time and can cause irritation. I suggest you to use some more safer and established agent as glue which can be skin friendly too.

Take care.
