Your current cream may contain strong steroids, which are not safe for long-term facial use. I advise gradually stopping it under a dermatologist's guidance to avoid irritation. For safe skin lightening, look for gentle, oil-free serums containing active ingredients such as niacinamide, kojic acid, or azelaic acid that are suitable for sensitive skin. For a day cream, use a lightweight, gel-based moisturizer with hyaluronic acid to hydrate without clogging pores. Always pair this with a broad-spectrum, mineral-based sunscreen (containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) during the day, as sun protection is essential for skin brightening and preventing sensitivity.
