Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
Continue using clindac-A gel twice a day all over face.
Add a cream containing Kojic acid , Arbutin, Tetrahydrocurcumin ( Melaglow) twice a day. Routine use of this cream will reduce and prevent dark spots.
Use broad spectrum sunscreen before going out in sun.
Use good quality moisturiser like Emolene on regular basis.
Thanks
