Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
Triglow cream contains a potent steroid, mometasone. It should never be used on face for long because a potent steroid like mometasone can cause the skin of face to become photosensitive, Acne ridden and thinned out with telangiectasias. Females can also have facial hair growth which is an additional problem. Triglow cream is prescription product for pigmentation/melasma over face. It should never be used without the prescription of a dermatologist and that too for not more than 2-3 months.
I would advice that you use a broad spectrum sunscreen, that which offers for UV B as well as UV A protection.
Use a gentle cleanser like cetaphil for face wash.
For uneven tone, you could either use a skin lightening cream containing one or more of the following ingredients like kojic acid, glycolic acid etc.
Alternatively, you could also opt for chemical peeling sessions(glycolic peel) from a dermatologist
Therefore I would advice that you see a dermatologist for a proper discussion and treatment regarding your problem.
