I've been using Lumaglo for about three weeks, and now my skin has turned red. Plus, it's started peeling off in small layers, leaving these white patches. It's almost like the affected areas are turning black too. I'm really worried about what's happening. Could you please help me understand what's going on and what I should do about it?

View allI was prescribed Faceclin Gel by Dr. Ashok Gupta from Krishna Nagar, and I'm a bit confused about how to use it throughout the day. Should I wash my face before applying the gel, and do I need to reapply it after washing my face later on? I'm trying to figure out the best way to incorporate it into my skincare routine. Any advice?
Apply a thin layer evenly on the affected areas of your face. It is usually recommended to apply FACECLIN GEL once daily, preferably in the evening before bedtime. Avoid applying the gel near the eyes, mouth, or any broken skin. Wash your hands thoroughly after applying the gel. Do not wash your face immediately after applying the gel. Let it stay on your face overnight for best results. In the morning, you can wash your face with a mild cleanser to remove the gel residue. Remember to follow the dosage and application instructions provided by your doctor for the best results.
