Question

I've been using Melacare for about 4 years now and I'm thinking of stopping. I'm a bit worried though, if I stop using it, will my skin be able to recover on its own or am I going to have to deal with hyperpigmentation forever?

Stopping Melacare may cause: 1. Rebound hyperpigmentation (temporary) 2. Skin recovery with proper skincare and sun protection 3. Ongoing hyperpigmentation management Post-Melacare skincare: 1. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) 2. Moisturize with a gentle moisturizer 3. Exfoliate regularly 4. Consider alternative treatments
