I use No Scars cream daily at bedtime. What are the side effects of using it, and will I develop dark spots on my face if I stop?

Asked by Female, 28 · 20 hours ago

No Scars cream contains hydroquinone, tretinoin, and mometasone (a steroid). Daily use can cause side effects like skin redness, thinning, burning, dryness, and extreme sun sensitivity. Long-term unsupervised use can also lead to permanent bluish-black skin discoloration. If you stop using it abruptly, you are highly likely to experience 'rebound hyperpigmentation,' where dark spots return or worsen. To safely stop using it without worsening your spots, you must gradually taper off the cream under a dermatologist's guidance and strictly apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.
