Question

I'm 20 and I've been using Skin Lite cream, and it made my face fair for the first couple of days, but then I started noticing some side effects. My face doesn't have pimples or acne, but it's turned really dark, and no other products seem to be helping. I'm getting worried and not sure what to do. Could you please give me some advice on how to deal with this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing skin discoloration and hyperpigmentation as a side effect of using the skin lite cream. To help improve the darkening of your face, you can try using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone, kojic acid, and glycolic acid. One option is "Melalite XL cream" which can be applied once at night for a few weeks. Additionally, using a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day with at least SPF 30 is essential to prevent further darkening of the skin. Make sure to consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan.
