Hello,

I can understand your concern. The cream Beta Galen contains Betamethasone Valerate. Use of this cream is contraindicated on face. So do not use this cream on face and use for other areas.

The cream Diprogenta contains Betamethasone Propionate, which can be used on face.

Please use these creams as per your doctor's prescribed dose. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
