Suggest Treatment For Dark Spots And Darker Complexion On The Face
Hi Dr. I have a very dull skin dark complexion and skin type is oily. Skin is tanned and also has a lot of dark patches and spots all over my face. I do not want to use any creams which has hydroquinine but at the same time need a cream that that can remove dark spots and also lighten my complexion. A cream with no side effect and can be used everyday
You can use 1. Retinoic acid 2. Alovera based cream (Elovera cream) How to use?? Mix equal amount of these two creams on your palm, mix well, apply very gently on your face at bed time. Do not rub while applying and apply a very thin layer (small amount). Remember; mix only whilst ready to apply. Store both creams separately. Retinoic acid makes you skin sensitive to sunlight. So use Spectraban sensitive sunscreen cream before exposure to sunlight. You can use other over the counter sunscreen with Sun Protection Factor (SPF) more than 30 available in the market. I hope this information will help you. I will be happy if you ask another question Thanks
