Hi lybrate-user Hydroquinones used will help in improving complexion but can be used for longer duration. Further during the usage and after stopping it you have to continue with a mild cleanser and a good sunscreen based on your skin type to maintain the results achieved. You can revisit your doctor and look for non hydroquinone based skin lightening treatments that can help to get back your skin tone. Keep yourself well hydrated and never miss your sunscreen when out in sun.
