I've been using Mela Care cream for the past three months, and my skin was looking great at first. But now, it's taken a turn for the worse. My skin looks really bad, I've got dark spots on my nose, and there are dark circles around my eyes. I'm a bit worried and looking for advice. Do you know of any safe creams or treatments that could help with these issues?
