I'm wondering if it's okay to use Glocin gel during the day. Is there any issue with going outside after applying it during daylight hours? Can I use it twice a day? I've noticed small bumps, rough skin, and some fine lines on my forehead. I'm a 45-year-old woman and I'd appreciate any advice.

Niacinamide is present in the cream whichnoxidises with sunlight hence it must be used as night cream and it helps for your condition.

I'm really worried about my skin. It's very dark and seems to react quickly to different climates and water. My skin gets oily so fast, like within half an hour, and it's sensitive too. I'm looking for a good medicated cream that can help reduce melanin. Could you recommend something that would work for my skin type?
