Frequently asked questions
How long do skin creams take to work?
Acne and pigmentation creams often take 6–12 weeks; fungal and eczema treatments vary. Consistency matters — do not stop too early.
Can I use hydroquinone long-term?
No — it is used in short supervised courses for pigmentation, as long unsupervised use can cause side effects. A dermatologist should guide it.
