Though initial effects with the cream are good but prolonged use may lead to thin dry skin with visible thread veins, acne, red irritated skin.

Both have hydroquinone as ingredient & this should not use for more then 1 month, otherwise this will cause more severe darkness (exogenous ochronosis ). Melasma have different types & darkness on your face may not be melasma & may be other disease like pih, ochronosis, riehl" s melanosis. So you should consult with your dermatologist.

your skin eruptions if handled locally with berberis aquifolium will not yield a permanent result. the diagnosis and the cause has to be indentified with consultation so that a right remedy can be given. opt for an online consultation if u like

Hi, any medicated cream can be prescribed only for a few weeks. For long-term use, prefer a routine of moisturizer (dermadew aloe lotion) and sunscreen (faceguard) during the day.
