Hello,
Thanks for the query

Just alovera cannot change complexion.

There must be some other chemical in that lotion.

Dont worry if it was due to reaction,

It will slowly resolve within a month.

As the skin turns over every month.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.

Hello,

Thanks for sharing your concern,

First of all you should not apply alovera jel in morning time because it can absorb more sunlight which can lead to sudden change in color...

You can use it in night time...

Now you can use any cream that contains kojic acid which can lighten the skin color..and it can be used for long time...and use sunscreen cream 3 times in a day...

Consult with your Dermatologist for furthur opinion...

Take care.....
