I'm a bit worried about my skin. I've been using this cream for about 6 months, but I've started to notice my skin is getting really thin. Now I'm concerned about stopping it because I've heard there can be some scary side effects, like this thing they call permanent pig. Can you help me figure out the best way to stop using it without dealing with these side effects? I'm really looking for an alternative or anything that might help ease this transition.

I'm using the Truderma Acne Kit that my doctor prescribed because I've been breaking out on my face. I think the night cream might not be working for me since it's making the spots darker instead of helping them. Is this normal or should I be concerned?
