Is Melacare Cream The Right Medicine To Get Rid Of Acne Scars?

Hello, I have some acne scars on my face, my friend had suggested me to use hydroquinone cream i found a product with hydroquinone (Product Name: Melacare) i used this product for about 10 days and got amazing result but today i sawn white patches(Where i have applied melacare) so can i use melacare all over the face for 10 days to get same colour? and i know it makes the skin sensetive so i am already using sunscreen but Is it safe? i read many where that after discontinued using hydroquinone creams it will become more darker, is it true? Thank You so much in advance.

Apart from hydroquinone, melacare also contains tretinoin and momatasone and it is recommended that you use this product only under doctors guidance as it can cause some serious side effects. It is fine to use it on acne scars but only at night and that too under doctors advice. It is not meant to be used over your entire face.It is true that darkening recurs in some individuals on discontinuation of cream.
