I'm a bit worried because I brought minoxidil USP 10HARE10 in India, and now that I'm in the UAE, I noticed that when I opened the bottle, the color is this strange yellow. I'm not sure if it's safe to use like this. Could this color change mean it's bad, or is it still okay to apply it?

I'm using Ilumax skin brightening cream by Ajanta to help with tanning and get a fairer skin tone. I'm curious, how long does it usually take to start seeing results with this cream? Also, how long should I continue using it to maintain the fairness? I'm a bit worried about what happens after I stop using the cream. Will my skin get darker again? Any advice would be really appreciated.

Candid cream for local application is advised, once a day,at bed time for 2 weeks is advised.
