Hi!
skin is mirror of internal health. Usually, facial pigmentation can be due to sensitive skin, vitamin b12 deficiency, thyroid problems, anaemia ,or any auto immune diseases etc. Please check with your dermatologist to rule out the cause and get prescribed withe latest medications. You can also get procedures like chemical peels, lasers done for better results. Coming to the actual query, you can use melaglow rich cream safely but please do not use hhlite as it is steroid cream .these steroid creams can cause side effects like pimples, face dullness, hair growth on skin etc if used for a longer period of time. Use broad spectrum sunscreen in the morning for best results.

HHLite cream contains Mometasone, which is a strong steroid which should not be used on the face. It will give you brightening but the face will become dependent on it and will become dull as soon as you stop. In the long term it can cause the steroid side effects- thinning of skin, visible veins, excess hair growth, pigmentation, stretch marks etc. Stop it immediately and switch to a mild vitamin e cream or moisturiser. It will take 3 to 6 months to recover from the steroid dependent skin.
Its possible to achieve your basic color and glow back by taking a skin lightening treatment regimen for 6-8 months, consisting of sunscreens, skin lightening creams, antioxidants and multivitamins and external treatments like peels. After this you will have to maintain the results by application of sunscreen and moisturisers daily. A combination of all these treatments with Q-switch laser can help you achieve lightening of the pigment. Stick to the treatment for 8-10 months and take optimum sessions of the laser.
Hello lybrate user, there are various causes of acne like oily or dry skin due to hormonal imbalance, overuse of cosmetics,exposure to dust, pollution, hereditary,lack of enough sleep, stress, unhealthy food habits etc..; dust clogs the tiny openings of sweat gland or oil gland which ultimately results into acne and blackheads.hence external applications like ointment/creams is of less use unless and until internal cause is well treated and cure.
Always wash your face with gentle facewash after exposure to dust,pollution. drink plenty of water, 7-8 glass per day to remove toxins from body and maintain hydration. Have healthy diet, add more fruits and green veggies in diet.avoid stress, avoid alcohol, junk food.

Hi,
Hhlite Cream is composed of the following active ingredients (salts)
â¢Hydroquinone (2%)
â¢Mometasone (0.1%)
â¢Tretinoin (0.025%)
Mometasone furoate is a topical steroid. It is not recommended to use this on skin for long period of time without medical advice and indication. Your skin may feel better initially with its use but, it can lead to undesirable effects like flaring up of acne/other infection, unusual pigmentation and dependence.
It is also not recommended to use Hydroquinone preparations for long periods of time as it can lead to side effects like hyperpigmentation /hypopigmentation too.
I would advise you to stop this cream and consult a cosmetic physician/dermatologist.
I would be happy to help you. Please consult me privately so that I can understand your problem in detail and help you.
