Brief Answer:
Use aloevera cream

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Tenovate is a super potent steroid.
Prolonged use might have caused thinning and damage to your skin.
You must stop using it immediately.
Apply aloevera cream twice daily for a month.
Initially your face will look dull but it will recover within a month.
Hope this helps.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
