Question

I'm thinking about using Faiza skin lightening cream and I'm wondering if it's okay to apply it every night before bed. Is it safe to do that, and will it really make my skin glow in just a week? I'm a bit concerned about any potential side effects.

Contains hydroquinone, which is commonly used to lighten dark patches of skin. However, using it every night can lead to skin irritation, redness, and even paradoxical darkening of the skin. It is not recommended to use skin lightening creams excessively as they can have harmful effects on the skin. It is important to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer and consult a dermatologist for proper guidance.

Question

I've been using this bleaching cream called Oxy every month, and it gives me a fair look for just two days, then my skin goes back to normal. But now, after using bleach so much, my skin is starting to get darker, and I feel like I have to use bleach to make it better, which just seems to make it permanently darker. I'm really worried and curious if bleach cream is actually safe to use. Does it actually help? And since my skin's getting darker from it, what can I do to avoid this or make it better? Any advice on creams or tablets would be really appreciated.
