Hello and welcome to healthcare magic.

You did the right thing by stopping appliaction of Tenovate -Gn cream. It contains a potent steroid clobetasol and is not recommended for use over face for risk of steroid side effects like acne, photosensitivity, skin thinning, atrophy/telangiectasia and facial hair growth, which is specially troublesome in females.

You could use a broad-spectrum sunscreen, whcih offers both UVA and UVB protection throughout the day.

A night cream containing one or more of the following ingredients e.g Kojic acid, hydroquinone, glycolic acid, arbutin can be used once daily at night for pigmentation
