Hi,
Thanks for posting your query in Health Care Magic and i understand your concern.

By your history it seems like your skin is sensitive to the composition of the cream and its having an allergic hypersensitivity reaction to it in the form of redness, swelling and itchy.
I suggest you to discontinue the cream and use a moisturizer for dryness of your skin , once it gets back to normal you can try using Kojic Acid 2% cream on your face to increase your complexion.
Even before using this apply a small amount of this cream on your forearm, it there is no sensitivity issues , then you can continue it on your face,
Hope this helps and answers your query satisfactorily.

Take care and wish you a healthy skin .
Regards,
Dr.Rashmi
