Dermatologist 's  Response
Dear friend...
I will strongly recommend you to stop applying the two on your face.
these are steroid containing preparations which initially give a very good look and feel but later harm the skin like anything.

Its not otherwise usually prescribed by dermatologist for acne.

U imagine, like one feels very high after taking alcohol but later it results in lotts of harmful effects on body , similarly one really feels his/her skin shiny and smoother aftr using these preparations but later the side effects appear in the form of pimples, increased hair on face, thinning of sin on face and many more.

So, kindly stop applying these medications at the earliest.

Thanx.

Stay healthy

Take care.
