I'm really curious about using Fair & Lovely, Vicco turmeric cream, and Himalaya fairness cream on my face. Are these creams safe for facial skin, and which one would you recommend as the best option? I've heard different things and just want to make sure I'm choosing the right one for my skin. Any advice would be great!

Among these, Vicco turmeric cream is considered safer as it contains natural ingredients like turmeric which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It is best to use Vicco turmeric cream for the face. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the face once or twice daily for best results.
