hi
This cream contains hydroquinone + Tretinoin + steroid.
It is a triple combination commonly used by dermatologists for treating hyperpigmentation,and is a very effective medicine but one has to use this cream with caution.
It has to be applied only at night.
Moreover, it should not be rubbed over the skin and very small amount has to be applied.
At a stretch, this cream is not to be used for more than 2-3 months.
Long term use of these agents on the face can lead to various problems like skin thinning,photosensitivity, hair growth, redness, pigmentation etc.
So firstly, I would advise you to use this cream with extreme caution and that too under the guidance of a dermatologist .
Along with it, you should continuously use a sunscreen( spf>26) over your face before going out in the sun.
Hope it helps
