Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain Trimelasin cream contains Fluocinolone (steroid) Tretinoin and Hydroquinone while Dermovate is also a steroid cream containing Clobetasol and steroids can initially have a good depigmenting effect over the skin and can show effectiveness in reducing pigmentation but in case of long term use it can cause serious side effects and can further be damaging as it can cause darkness and pigmentation of skin, inflammation and rashes causing itching, over growth of hairs on face,dialatation of veins under skin..
It can be used for one to two weeks but long term use is not recommended..
In case if you want to use a depigmenting cream for long term you can use kojic acid containing creams that are safe as they are mushroom extract, use arbutin and glycolic acid containing creams.
You can also use Vitamin E gel at night..
Take Vitamin supplements and drink plenty of water..
Do cool compresses around the eye, if you are under stressful condition reduce stress, limit the exertion of eyes by reducing exposure to computer and television watching for hours..
You can also put cucumber or potato grated over the eyes as it provide coolness as well as reduces darkness..
Relieve stress by breathing exercises, and meditation..
Take a nutritious diet..
