Question : Please route this question to Dr. XXXXXXX who answered my previous query for Dermatologist
Condition- Having dark pigmentation under and around eyes and puffiness and wrinkles too under eye.

I was advised to use Depiwhite cream and sunscreen for dark pigmentation under eyes which I shared with images in my last question.
I'm confused which among the following Depiwhite should be used as all are showing same:

https://amzn.in/d/7hHJoEc
https://amzn.in/d/gDew2sO
And, when n how much to use this?

Second, is this sunscreen fine to buy or you recommend any other? Please share link if any.

Also, do I have to use sunscreen everyday or when going in sun?

Third, there's this retinol night repair cream that says it helps with eye wrinkles. Should I use this too along with Depiwhite and sunscreen? Or you want to include this in any combination

Please share how much and when to use for the products that you advise in daily skincare regime for my condition. Also, share if I have to include face wash and moisturizer in my regime and when. Thanks in advance for the advice! :)

Brief Answer:
Depiwhite and sunban

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
All the depiwhite are same only packaging is different.
You can use any of these.
Apply a small quantity and gently rub for 30 seconds under your eyes in night.
In morning apply sunscreen all over face.
Buy sunban soft sunscreen.
Don't use retinol. It might cause burning sensation.
You don't need an additional moisturizer, sunscreen has moisturizing effects too.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you

Thanks for the advice, doc! Is there a cheaper alternative to Depiwhite cream? It's costing around 650 bucks for a small tube :( Second, is Dot and key sunscreen not ok? It has skin brightening composition with Vitamin C to reduce dark spots. Please suggest.

Brief Answer:
Better to use depiwhite

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the follow up.
I would suggest you to go with Depiwhite and Sunban.
These products are costlier but are from reputed companies.
Dot and key sunscreen might not be as effective as Sunban.
Instead of applying Vitamin C you can increase intake of Vitamin C containing products such as lemon juice.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you

Thank you doc! I'll buy Depiwhite and Sunban sunscreen. For the sunscreen, do you suggest using it after bath in morning? And, should I use it in night skin regime too?
Also, please suggest if I can continue using Derma Co Sali-Cinamide Anti-Acne Face Wash in the morning wash and before bed time.
