Hi lybrate-user,
depiwhite contains hydroquinone which is a potent skin lightening agent. However, when used for long periods of time it may cause abnormal pigmentation of skin, a condition called as exogenous ochronosis. If you have pigmentation problems for which your doctor might have prescribed you depiwhite, its a good idea to only use it for the recommended duration and switch to non hydroquinone containing skin lightening cream for maintenance therapy.
Hope this helps.

Apply mineral sunscreen after moisturizer (if you're going to wear chemical sunscreen, make sure to put sunscreen on before moisturizer) in general, you want to use separate sunscreen and moisturizing products. Wear sunscreen with spf 30 or higher over your moisturizer for adequate sun protection.

What are essential amino acids?
An essential amino acid can be best defined as an amino acid that the body cannot produce on its own, unlike nonessential amino acids. It must instead be obtained through food sources, diet, or supplementation.
