medical skin whitening cream - #15159

Tara

I am honestly feeling kinda confused and a bit worried about this whole thing with medical skin whitening cream. I started using a popular one about a month ago because my complexion has some uneven spots that have been bothering me forever. Like, I tried all those natural remedies, but they didn’t seem to help. I thought this medical skin whitening cream might be the answer since it had great reviews and stuff. At first, my skin felt smoother, but now I’ve noticed some redness and peeling in areas, especially around my cheeks. I didn’t expect that at all!!! Shouldn’t a medical skin whitening cream just make things better?? I mean, I even checked with my dermatologist before trying it, and they seemed to think it was fine. It does mention some active ingredients on the label, but I’m not a chemist or anything. I just want to know if redness is normal or if it might mean I’m having a bad reaction to the cream? Also, how long should I even be using a medical skin whitening cream to see real results? I’m kinda second-guessing my choice now and debating if I should see someone else about this. Really starting to wonder if I’m just making my skin worse! Any advice would be super helpful.
