I start to notice that my face develope patchy pigmentation 3 months ago. If you look closely, it gives my face a cracking line effet, all over.It was about the same time I started using Skinfood BB cream, Hada Labo hyaluronic acid moisurising cream and Derma roller. I am not sure if any of these cause the pigmentation.

Hello,
Facial creams can contain steroid in it or certain other compounds which can cause irritation and patchiness. I suggest you to meet a dermatologist and take proper guidance. Avoid sun exposure and use a good medicated sunscreen. All the best
