Hello,
Novowhite skin brightening skin is very effective but it is better to give gaps to avoid continued use. Continued use may make the skin resistant.
Skin lightening creams contain hydroquinone or mercury which may cause irreversible skin damage.
Sometimes they may cause refractory pigmentation which is difficult to treat.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
