hello,melacare ointment should be used for only pathological conditions like melasma,or post inflammatory hyperpigmentation but not for fairness of skin.do not use depiwhite now.we should slowly taper off melacare.first start using melacare with moisteriser daily,then one day moisteriser and one day melacare,then use melacare for 2days a week ,then stop it with weekly once,remaining days use it weekly once
