Asked for female, 30 years old from Gurgaon

Is there any alternative cream to panderm which is safe to use and doesn't have side effects, I used to use panderm cream, my skin has become very fair, but I started getting pimples etc so stopped it, now I have recovered back. But I like the way panderm cream used to make my skin look fair and very fresh, is there any alternate cream which gives results as panderm but safe to use and has no or less side effects?

Dr. Anushruti Aggarwal

MBBS, MD Dermatology

Dermatologist•Jaipur

Please don't use panderm on your face. It is a steroid cream which has a lot of side effects and should never be used on face. Consult a dermatologist for proper treatment of pigmentation.
