Hi,
Melacare forte is a strong pigmentation reducing cream. It should not be used beyond one month and should always be applied in night. Continuous, prolonged unsupervised use can lead to rebound pigmentation. The other caution to be exercised with it is that if it causes redness or irritation, it should be immediately discontinued. Do not forget to use a sunscreen in morning and also take oral vitamin c supplements. Once you have achieved desired results switch to a milder Kojic acid, liquorice arbutin based creams. Take care.
