I'm really concerned because I've been using glyco 6 for half an hour at night and then switching to tyrolite cream overnight for my hyperpigmentation, as my dermatologist recommended. Instead of improving, the dark spots on my face have gotten worse. Should I keep using these creams? I'm not quite sure how they affect my skin. Could the marks be caused by glyco 6? Does glyco 6 peel the skin before it starts to improve the condition?

The sudden increase in dark spots after using Glyco 6 and Tyro-Lite cream may be due to the initial skin reaction, as Glyco 6 (containing glycolic acid) can cause a temporary darkening or "purging" effect as it exfoliates and peels the skin, revealing underlying pigment; however, it's essential to consult your dermatologist
