cream to remove hyperpigmentation - #13032

Ayaan

I am super confused about this whole thing with creams to remove hyperpigmentation. A couple of months ago I noticed these dark spots on my face, mostly on my cheeks, and I freaked out! I mean, I never had this kind of stuff before. The doctor said it might be hormonal or sun damage or something, and recommended trying a cream to remove hyperpigmentation. I picked up this one that had hydroquinone in it, even tho I heard mixed things about it. Like is hydroquinone really safe long-term? Or maybe I should look for a more natural cream to remove hyperpigmentation? I’ve been using this cream for about 5 weeks now, and honestly, I’m not sure if I see any difference. And on top of that, I’ve got some peeling and redness, which makes me wonder if I should even continue. I’m planning to ask my dermatologist, but I guess I’m just super anxious about this since I’ve never had skin issues like this. Are there certain ingredients that are really effective in a cream to remove hyperpigmentation that I should look for? Or is there something else I can do? Just really want to feel normal again without worrying about these spots!
