Hi,

You can safely use Banatan along with your routine skin care to even out your skin tone. A word of caution, it contains arbutin 1% which may not be safe if you are pregnant. As with any skin care product always do a patch test 24 hrs prior to full application. Use Demelan and Bantan alternate nights and wear a sunscreen during day time. Read the ingredients carefully to make sure you are not allergic or sensitive to any of the ingredients. If you have any pre-existing medical condition or if you are on any medication consult your treating doctor before trying new products. In addition, uneven skin tone can be caused by various causes like hormonal imbalance, fungal skin infection, over exposure to direct sun to name a few. I suggest you to consult a dermatologist to get examined and treated for uneven skin tone.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
