Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you want to use collagen kit which contains collagen and vitamin C to lighten the skin tone. Well there can be many side effects of the above mention ointments , but they can be minimize even to zero when prescribed in right dose and for appropriate period of time. You should use it for shorter duration to avoid skin dependency on it. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist before start using these products , who can prescribed in right dose and for appropriate after diagnosing your skin condition . For now use cream containing kojic acid twice a day , which is very safe , exfoliate your skin once a week and apply turmeric powder mix with honey 15 minutes and wash daily .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
