I'm using Melamet cream and it's been about 2 years. I've noticed some good changes in my skin, but I've recently heard it might not be the best for my skin in the long run. I also heard that using hydroquinone is safe and doesn't cause harm. It's been 10 days since I stopped using the cream and I haven't noticed any changes yet. I'm worried if stopping it might make my skin turn dark again. What can I do to maintain the fairness I've gained? Would love some advice on this.
It is possible that the positive effects you experienced were temporary and not sustainable in the long term. To maintain the fairness on your face, you can consider using a safer alternative like a sunscreen with a high SPF to protect your skin from further damage and prevent darkening. You can also use a skin lightening cream containing Hydroquinone 2% under the guidance of a dermatologist to help even out your skin tone. Remember to always patch test any new products before applying them to your face and consult with a dermatologist for personalized recommendations based on your skin type and concerns.
