Cortisone is a mild steroid, but still 2 years is a very long time. It gradually makes your skin thin and increases facial hair growth. There are many other side effects. Even hydroquinone is not safe for such long term use. You should shift to a skin lightening moisturiser and on top od it put tretin 0.025 twice or thrice a week. That will maintain results.
