I'm wondering if it's safe to use Dermolite skin brightening formula cream since they claim it's free from steroids and made with natural ingredients like mulberry extract, vitamin E, and kojic acid. My baby is just a month old, and I'm breastfeeding, so I'm kind of worried about whether it might affect my baby. Is it okay to use this cream, especially since I recently had the baby?
