Brief Answer:
You can continue the cream you are using.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the follow up.

I have seen the images. The cream you are using is good. The spots on face are called as melasma which can be due to various causes like:
- Sun exposure (UV rays)
- Change in hormones such as pregnancy or menopause.
- Allergies to particular skin care product.

You can continue using the cream until the spots go away, or visit a dermatologist for other prescription ointments.

You can help prevent your melasma from recurring by wearing sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat every day.

In case your symptoms persists or worsens it is best to meet a dermatologist or gynecologist for a detailed examination and treatment.

I hope this answered your query.
