Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM.

Carofit ultra contains kojic acid and lactic acid as main ingredients. They can used safely on face and neck even for long term. They work gradually but are preferable because of the safety profile,

whereas, propionate lotion contains a potent topical steroid betamethasone. It should not be use on the delicate skin of face and neck for more than 2-4 weeks.

If used continuously over these areas it can produce steroid related side effects like hypopigmentation, atrophy and telangiectasia, acne, and facial hair growth in females.

I would also advice that you use a broad spectrum sunscreen throughout the day.

take care
regards
