I have dark spots on my face from past pimples but currently have no active acne. Having previously used Panderm cream, what is the best pharmaceutical cream or treatment to safely clear these dark spots?
Please stop using your previous cream. It contains a strong steroid that is unsafe for long-term facial use and can damage your skin. To safely clear post-acne dark spots, look for gentle dermatological creams containing active ingredients like Azelaic Acid, Kojic Acid, Niacinamide, or Alpha-Arbutin, which safely fade pigmentation. Additionally, applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily is crucial, as UV rays worsen dark spots. For the best results, please consult a dermatologist who can evaluate your skin type and prescribe the safest, most effective strength for your needs.
