I'm worried about using Melaglow cream every day. Can it damage my skin if used regularly? If its not safe, would switching to Fairlite be a better option?

Using Melaglow cream regularly is generally safe for most individuals. It is commonly used to treat hyperpigmentation and dark spots on the skin.

The recommended dosage and application instructions for Fairlite may vary, so it is advisable to consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist before using it.
