Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
Betnovate- N contains a potent steroid. It should not be used on face for undereye dark circles because prolonged use can lead to steroid related side effects like acne, photosensitivity, skin thinning and telangiectasis, facial hair growth specially in females.
Dermatologists usually suggest a lightening cream containing ingredients like kojic acid, glycolic acid, arbutin, tetrahydrocurcumin, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate OR liquorice extract which are safer to use in long term without the side effects of steroid.
Clearz-ultra is a combination of kojic acid with Vit C. It can beused for this indication even for long term. Betnovate-N causes skin thinning and not Clearz ultra.
Use a Broad spectrum sunscreen, which is a must throughout the day.
take care
