hello kriti,

welcome to healthcare magic.
i will be glad to be of assistance.

cosmelite cannot be used lifelong. in fact it should be used for a maximum of 3-4 months not more than that.

i will recommend that you use glycolic acid 6% cream on full face every night.
that will also cause evening out of your skin tone and a bright complexion.

the sunscreen has to be reapplied once every 4 hours.

that will ensure good efficacy of the sunscreen.

hope my recommendations are useful to you.

please let me know if you have any queries.
