skin lightening gel - #19958
I am really confused and a bit worried about my skin lately. I’ve been using a skin lightening gel for about three weeks now because I thought it would help with some dark spots I have from acne scars. At first, it seemed to be working, but now my skin feels super dry and itchy, and there’s this weird redness that wasn’t there before. The skin lightening gel says it’s supposed to brighten your skin and even out tone, but is it normal to have these side effects? Like, I really don’t wanna stop using it but "should" I? I actually went to my dermatologist last week, and they suggested I might be having a reaction to one of the ingredients in the skin lightening gel. This has made me wonder if I should try a different one or if I should just stick it out a little longer? Does anyone know what the best practices are when using a skin lightening gel? I keep seeing mixed reviews online, some say they had great results while others ended up with redness and irritation like me. I just want to make sure I’m making the right choice with my skin, you know? Any advice would be super helpful!!
