Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic.
The potent steroid (mometasone) that it contains cannot be used on face for long. Using it would obviously lead to side effects related to steroid abuse:
-Acne,
-Photosensitivity,
-Skin thinning (Atrophy) and telangiectasis and
-Facial hair growth(hirsutism), which is especially troublesome in females.
Therefore I would advice you to not use it on your face anymore. it should be used only under the supervision of a dermatologist since early signs of steroid abuse may be missed by others.
If I was your treating doctor I would have asked you to use a topical antiacne gel like either clindamycin or benzoyl peroxide gel once or twice daily for your acne.
