HELLO,thank you for writing to us
skin lightening agents with hydroquinone and steroid combinations are used if condtions like melasma or any other pigmentation caused due to acne or other skin condtions till the condition is under control and maintained by creams like kojic acid.
DO NOT USE STEROID OR HYDROQUINONE CREAMS for long term only to get fair complexion without any underlying skin condtion.
Also use a sunscreen to protect your skin from getting darker from UV rays.
KOJIC ACID is available as KOJIVIT CREAM -Use at night
VIT. C is available as Dr reddy's STREA C -Use in the morning before sunscreen.
