Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

Thanks for your query . Darkening of skin is related to plenty of factors like sun exposure , hormonal changes , stress or naturally occurring black complexion. Well i do not recommend any of the creams or lotions mention above .

Melaglow and HH cream are not recommended because steroid and hydroquinone inside them as an ingredients . Because they ahve certain side effects and are not recommended to use for long times and withot prescription of dermatologist or expert.

Acrofy lotion is not known to cause any benefit in case of skin pigmentation. As it is effective in case of acne.

I would suggest you to :-

- Use ' KOJIC ACID 'cream which is natural extract of mushroom ,very effective and safe for lonterm. Apply it twice a day.

- wash your face twice a day with soft soap and exfoliate once a week.

- Use aloe vera cream at night .

If condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist . Doctor may recommend. chemical peeling or laser therapy.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
