    Please help. I was using a skin lightening cream for almost 2 months to help with my dark spots and hyperpigmentation but 72 hours ago I noticed that I started developing hypo pigmentation and white patchy spots around my forehead and the corners of my mouth. Please help me What do you think I should do to get my skin back to normal. I did stop the cream and I am currently using hydrocortisone and a gentle cleanser for now. Is this a good treatment to help my skin. I also noticed the cream cause my lip yo get dark too.

    I never had dark lips as a child and early teenager. It was after puberty hormones really kicked in, breasts developed, I noticed lips, ESPECIALLY upper lips growing way darker than lower.
    I'd get trolled sometimes by best friends like, how this is very similar to SMOKER lips, the upper lips alone way darker than lower. Whether I secretly puff one out every now and then.

    • @noonseen2017

      as far as I understand, salicylic acid is oil soluble and your lips has no oils glands so it;s very unlikely that SA was the cause.

      I noticed this also the first month or so that I first started using retinoid. Also, do you reapply a tinted sunscreen ( at least SPF 50) during the day especially when you’re outside? Wearing a sun protective hat while
      outside? Maybe your sun protection is not enough? By the way if you can tolerate niacinamide then using a moisturizer with niacinamide with the retinoid may help reduce the pigmentation

      If it has some sort of irritating effect to your skin, it can darken. you might want to find something that does the same job but is less irritating or more calming. You could also try a mineral sunscreen with a higher SPF..(not sure if you are in the US) but most chemical sunscreens in the US don't offer hyperpigmentation protection. Sometimes it may not be the tretinoin itself. It could be the way the product is formulated..but you could test it out to see if that could be the case

      You need to sandwich your skin when applying trentinoin.
      Apply an Hydrating serum before applying trentinoin and moisturise after.
      Trentinoin purges your skin which is most likely why you're breaking out. you should make sure your skin is hydrated and moisturised while using it.
