I've been using Melaglow cream for a year, applying it every night and washing it off in the morning. My skin was glowing while I was using it, but now that I've stopped, my skin is completely pigmented. It used to be fair before I started using the cream, but now it's turned dark. Is there a way to get my natural skin fairness back? Would really appreciate some guidance on this.

It's possible to restore your skin tone, but it will take time and patience. Pigmentation changes can occur due to various reasons, like stopping a product or other factors. Focus on a gentle skincare routine with sunscreen, vitamin C serums, and exfoliation. If needed, consult a dermatologist for personalized treatment options like chemical peels or topical treatments. Stay consistent, and your skin can gradually improve.
