Hello, eukroma KJ can be used overnight but since it contains hydroquinone make sure you do not use it for more than 3 months continuously. Consult a dermatologist before you use any cream.

Limit your time in the shower or bath to 5 or 10 minutes.
Use warm rather than hot water.
Wash with a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser.
Apply enough cleanser to remove dirt and oil, but avoid using so much that you see a thick lather.
