What Causes Dryness And Color Darkness After Using Brightenex And Retamax?
Hello, I have been using the brightenex and retamax for 3 weeks now but used it once the first week, twice the second week and three times the third. My skin is really dry and peeling off but I have also noticed that my skin is getting darker than my usual skin colour. I am a fair coloured african woman of 27 years.

Hi,
The cream you used contains toxic chemicals which cause irritant contact dermatitis leading to peeling and hyperpigmentation. So stop them to apply. And consult the dermatologist for the further treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
