Can Demelan Cream Be Used For Treating Acne Scars On Face?

Hi my name is Mandy n I will like to ask if I can use demelan cream on my face because I hav stubborn acne n I have tried other treatments to fight it but I instead develop brown marks on da corners of my eyes n dey are so hard to remove so I therefore want to enquire if demelan will remove those brown marks n acne scars without making my skin to turn red or how long should I wait before I can start using it as I m recently using another strong product.

demelan cream is Glycolic Acid/Arbutin/Kojic Acid Dipalmitate. There are few side effects which are associated with its application are hypersensitivity, iriitant contact dermatitis, erythema, burning, pigmentary changes, skin peeling, burning,
Occasionally kojic and glycolic acids are associated with photo-sensitivity.
Its better to start your treatment under a dermatologist, as he can exactly examine your face and let you know the medication. Till the time you are not going to any dermatologist, you can start multivitamin with lycopene in it.
Along with it you can start clindamycin gel topically and isotretinoin cream(0.2%).
God bless
