I'm really struggling with acne on my right cheek, and it's making me feel really self-conscious. I've been thinking about trying Himalaya's neem face pack to help with it, but I'm not sure how often I can use it. Will it actually help reduce acne? I'm really hoping to find something that works. Can you give me some advice on how to handle this?

I'm really worried because I've been using a cream with hydroquinone, tretinoin, and mometasone for nearly two years. When I stopped, my face turned really dark, almost black, and its been like this for the last 67 months. The rest of my body looks normal, so it's like my face doesn't match at all. I'm just wondering if this darkness will go away on its own if I leave it alone, or am I stuck like this? I'm seriously concerned about this and need some advice.

dont use that cream not face again , and start to use regular sun screen, face wash and moitiriser and you can consult dermatologist for a chemical peel and other Rx.

I'm using Jiaobi whitening cream, and I've noticed my skin's getting clearer and my dark spots are fading. But I'm wondering, is this cream actually safe for long-term use? Could there be any side effects I should be worried about? And is there any risk it might cause skin cancer? Just trying to make sure it's okay to keep using it. The ingredients listed are stearic acid glyceride, barley, cress, bone wood, chamomile, Vitamins A, D, E, aloe vera, and enzyme.

There are minimal side-effects like itching,rash and nausea.Dermat opinion is advised to the patient.
