Hello,

I can understand your concern for uneven skin tone over face and forehead.

I am happy to know that your friend is so concerned about you but the only problem is that he is not a dermatologist to guide you best.

Tenovate is strong potency steroid cream which is never to be used on face. It not only causes atrophy of the skin but also a long term side effect of thinning and hair growth with lot many side effects which are known as steroid abuse and steroid dependence.

So I personally suggest you to first ask your friend to not to suggest you or anyone else any such things to you as these not only can harm you but also can cause long term side effects.

All the best.
