Have Dryness And Pain In The Skin. Have Been Using Cream For A Long Time. What To Do Now?

I have been using Brite J&J skin whitening cream for quite sometime now . Of late i have found my skin turning dry and there is also slight pain when i stretch my face( even a smile leaves a soft pain ) . Should i stop using brite cream altogether and does my skin need repair in terms of an alternative cream ? and also i would like to know about the clinical effects of using brite cream for an extended period.

Hi, you stop to apply brite cream.
Brite cream contains hydroquinone. It is toxic chemical. It creates permenant confetti like depigmentation. It is irreversible side effect.
If you are hving hypermelanosis on face, you use kozic acid and vitamin C containing cream twice a day. Protect you skin from sun rays by application of sunscreen gel. And orally you take vitamin C, glutathion and nicotinic acid.
Wash the face by glycolic acid and kojic acid containing face wash..
I hope you will improve, and will remain fair.
