Hello, Welcome to healthcare magic, Tenovate G is a very potent topical steroid and should never be applied on the face for whitening purpose. It is not an over the counter preparation. It should be prescribed by a dermatologist who knows which condition to start it for and when to stop.Long term use can cause steroid induced Rosacea, Acne, Thinning of skin, Redness and increased sensitivity to sunlight. Brite day cream contains hydroquinone. It does not contain steroid, but again should be applied only for pigmentary disorders under supervision of dermatologist. Use a sunscreen with spf 30 or more every 2-3 hrs during the day even if you are indoors. Avoid sun exposure as much as possible. Apply non steroidal lightening cream containing kojic acid at night like kojivit gel or Cosglo gel or Kojiglo gel. Hope this helped, Take care.
