I'm trying to figure out whether to use hydroquinone or Melaglow cream for my skin. Is there one that's more effective or better for certain conditions? I'm a bit confused about which one might be right for me. Any advice would be really helpful!

I'm worried because I've been using Melacare for the last four years, and now my face has become really oily. I'm planning to stop using it, but I'm not sure what to do. Melacare hasn't given me any allergies, but I want to reduce the oiliness. Could you suggest how I can stop this oily production on my face?

you cannot stop it abruptly, wean it off slowly in two weeks by applying alternate days for a week and two days once in a week and soo,for alternate suggestion visit your dermatologist for appropriate treatment.
