hi,
Thanks for writing in to hcm.
Advantan contains methylprednisolone aceponate which is a steroid. therefore, unintended usage of steroids is not recommended.

Instead you can consult a dermatologist regarding a cream containing hydroquinone and glycolic acid to reduce the dark spots on your face.

Hope this answered your query.
Regards,
