skin lightening cream for face - #17533
I am really concerned about my skin right now. Last year, I started using a skin lightening cream for face, because I heard so many good things but didn’t realize the possible side effects. At first, it seemed to work wonders, my dark spots fading and my skin looking bright, but now I’ve been having some weird reactions. Like, my face feels unusually dry, and there are some red patches that come and go. My friend told me that might be a reaction to the skin lightening cream for face I’ve been using, but can it really do that? I did some reading and found out some ingredients can make things worse instead of better, like hydroquinone. I freaked out thinking I might have done some serious damage. Should I stop using the cream entirely? How can I know if my skin issues are from the skin lightening cream for face or something else? I mean, I'm really worried this could lead to something like hyperpigmentation in the long run or – who knows – more serious stuff? Any advice or experiences would be super helpful!
