No. Hydroquinone cannot be bought over the counter.

How long does it take for hydroquinone to lighten skin?
That said, many start seeing their dark spots lighten after about 8-12 weeks of using hydroquinone.
Hydroquinone shouldn’t be your lone dark spot product, though remember that the best way to prevent dark spots in the first place (and prevent them from returning) is by applying and (reapplying!)
Does hydroquinone permanently lighten?
No, the results of any skin lightening that hydroquinone brings about are not permanent.
The effects can be seen within a couple of months or a few years at the maximum.
