Hi, welcome to HCM,
Depiwhite Cream and Glyco 12 both contains glycolic acid. depiwhite has also kojic acid in addition of glycolic acid.
Light brown patch after reaction is post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
apply depiwhite in very less amount and start with only at night.
wash your face with face wash containing glycolic acid.
use sunscreen with spf 30 or more.
hope this is helpful.
thanks
