The one star was correct. They did change the formula!
No what I wanted. They substituted Hexylresorcinol for Hydroquinone 2%  Not the same at all...And if you look Hexylresorcinol it has nothing to do with fading. Hexylresorcinol is an organic compound with local anaesthetic, antiseptic, and anthelmintic properties. It is available for use topically on small skin infections, or as an ingredient in throat lozenges. It is marketed as S.T. 37 by Numark Laboratories, Inc.<br />Formula: C12H18O2 But then there is this.....Hexylresorcinol is an alkylresorcinol (AR), a type of phenolic lipid, that can be found naturally in whole grain wheat and rye. In skincare, hexylresorcinol is known to function as a skin-brightening agent. It also possesses antioxidant, as well as astringent properties, that can contribute towards a more even tone complexion. By providing antioxidant protection, hexylresorcinol can help neutralize free radicals present in the environment. Studies show topical application of hexylresorcinol may play a role in defending against signs of skin aging (i.e, fine lines and wrinkles) and glycation- a non-enzymatic reaction that may negatively impact skin quality. In addition to its skin benefits, skincare products utilize hexylresorcinol due to its well-soluble nature. This makes hexylresorcinol a desirable ingredient to be implemented into skincare formulas, as well as mixed with other skin brigthening ingredients such as niacinamide. Concentrations of hexylresorcinol occur between 0.5%-1.0%, and can most often be found in creams and serums to provide effective skin-lightening results. 1<br /><br />Hexylresorcinol - Wikipedia
