View allI'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.

My keratosis pilaris is really bad all over my body arms, chest, stomach, legs, shoulders, thighs. I've seen multiple dermatologists but nothing has worked so far. Right now I'm using Retino-A 0.0025 but even that isn't helping much. Are there any laser treatments or plastic surgery options for KP in Mumbai?
dermat opinion is advised to the pt regarding keratosis.
