I've been using this Panderm Plus cream, and every time I go out, my skin seems to get darker, even though I put on sunscreen. I'm really thinking about stopping the use of this cream, but I'm not sure how to get my skin back to normal afterward. Do you have any advice on how I can handle this situation?

Gradually taper off: Don't stop using Panderm Plus abruptly. Gradually reduce the frequency and amount applied over 2-3 weeks.

Replace with alternative creams: Consult your doctor or dermatologist for alternative creams that are less likely to cause hyperpigmentation.

Use sunscreen with high SPF: Continue using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with high SPF (at least 30) and reapply every 2 hours.

Wear protective clothing: Cover your skin with clothing, hats, and umbrellas when going out.

Consider vitamin C or niacinamide creams: These creams may help reduce hyperpigmentation and promote skin brightening.
