Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain Panderm plus cream contains steroid component along with Hydroquinone and Tretinoin..
The symptoms of increased pigmentation and increased facial hair are side effects of long term use of steroid and you should no way use Panderm or any other steroid containing creams on face..
In case if you want to improve the skin complexion you can start washing your face with Salicylic acid and Glycolic acid containing facewash..
Apply Kojic acid containing creams as it is an effective depigmenting formula and as it is mushroom extract it is safe for long term use..
Other creams that you can use are arbutin and glycolic acid and Vitamin E containing creams..
Take Vitamin C supplements..
You should regularly scrub your face using a face scrub twice a week..
Avoid sun exposure as photosensitivity can increase darkness..
You can also go for microdermabrasion and chemical peeling..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
