Hi, eukroma and revise cream have hydroquinone and tretinoin respectively both of which are to be used for a short duration of time for specific indications. The combination of eukroma and revise will be too harsh on facial skin so is not advisable. Reverse pigmentation and skin sensitivity can be the potential side effects if not properly used.

You are suffering from a condition called as exogenous ochronosis. It resluts due to prolonged use of hydroquinone. Hydroquinone should never be used for such prolonged periods. Treatment isa bit difficult. Tretinoin/ adapalene gel, CO2 lasers might help. Treatment will take time, probably a couple of months.

Donot use steroid based creams on the face. it will make your skin very sensitive. There is no cure for melasma. You can decrease it by taking tabs and applying creams. Avoiding sunexposure is very important. Since it is due to hormones we cannot remove it totally but it can be very well controlled with tabs and creams.

Just use a moisturizer or petroleum jelly like vaseline for 1-2 weeks.
For best advise
see a dermatologist who will assess the problem and then prescribe. Its in your interest not to go for an online prescribed medication. Its difficult ,rather impossible to give a prescription online without seeing a patient
