It is not advisable to use any steroid application on face as ill lead on to atrophic dermatitis and hypopigmentation.
As its already been applied, i suggest you to wait and it will regain its original color, just a matter of some time.
In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Wishing you happy and healthy life
