I'm really worried because I've been using MELAMET cream for a long time, but now I'm seeing some side effects on my face. I tried to stop using it, but after about 56 days, my skin got really dark and dry. I want to stop using this cream without it affecting my skin badly, but I'm not sure how to do it. Can you please help me figure out what to do?

It's important to discontinue the use of Melamet cream if you are experiencing side effects such as skin darkening and dryness. To help your skin recover, you can switch to a milder and safer alternative like Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser for cleansing and Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream for hydration. Additionally, you can use a sunscreen like Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen SPF 50 to protect your skin from further damage. Remember to apply the moisturizer at least twice a day and the sunscreen every morning before going out.
