Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.


Thanks for your query . Well sofderm contain ingredients like aoe vera , vitamin E and dimethicone . It is very good cream as fas as dark spots on your face are concern .

Aloe vera and vitamin E are very good in removing dark spots and rejuvenating skin . Dimethicone moisturize your skin and prevent dryness that can cause infection .

I would suggest you to use broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 15 at day time to prevent skin from sun exposure which can make dark spots further worse , drink atleast 8 glasses of water daily and apply turmeric paste for ten minutes and then wash away .

If your skin doesn't get better in 3-4 weeks then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may prescribe cream containing kojic acid as ingredient or recommend procedures like chemical peeling or dermabrassion.


Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
