I've been dealing with some skin issues after using this hydroquinone, tretinoin, and mometasone furoate cream for my acne and the marks it left behind. Whenever I used it, my skin looked great and glowy, but whenever I stopped and went out in the sun, my face would turn really dark. Now I've been off the cream for 8 months, and my face is in such bad shape. There's a big difference in color between my face and the rest of my body, plus I've got these red marks, dull skin, and lots of pigmentation. It's really frustrating and I'm just not sure what to do at this point. Could you help me out with this?
