What is the best lotion for even skin tone?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 25-year-old woman and I love my skin tone, but I have some pigmentation issues, particularly discoloration around my eyes and mouth. I consulted a dermatologist who recommended Vichy cream for overnight use, which has helped even out my skin. However, I still have wrinkles around my eyes that make me look older. My hands, neck, and feet are also quite tanned.

I’m looking for recommendations for body lotion to achieve an even skin tone. I’ve been using cucumber on my eyes regularly but haven’t seen much improvement. I would appreciate suggestions for dermatology-recommended creams for my face, eyes, and body. I have dry, sensitive skin and currently use Emolene moisturizer and Neutrogena sunscreen, which work well for me. I use Vichy cream at night as well. Is there anything else I should include in my routine for an even skin tone? Also, what type of facial would you recommend?

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your history and seen the photographs (attachment removed to protect patient's identity).

You should go for Wunder eye cream for the pigmentation and fine lines around the eyes twice daily. As far as even skin tone is concerned use OneTone cream on the affected parts twice daily. You can continue this treatment for four weeks and revert back as reduction in pigmentation will take time. Continue with Emolene cream, Sunblock and Vichy cream. You should use Cetaphil cleansing lotion for sensitive skin for washing your face and also take an antioxidant like Antoxid HC capsule daily for two to three months.

Besides this avoid going out in the sun and make use of an umbrella, sunglasses, hat, and scarf whenever out in the sun. Apply the sunscreen on the entire face at intervals of thre to four hours during the day time and apply under eye cream and OneTone cream 10 minutes before the application of the sunblock during the day time. Also include plenty of fruits and vegetables in your diet and make sure you have at least six hours of sound sleep. Go for facials with less scrubbing and those which include masks as this will help your dry skin.

Hope it helps.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for your quick response.

Earlier creams containing Glycolic acid created white patches on my skin. Hence, I am very much particular about the cream as I have sensitive skin. I am not expecting results to come immediately. I would like to use products that give results in a certain period of time.

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Use a mild lotion on hands and feet. It can be used by individuals with sensitive skin.

Hope it helps.

Thank you.
