Hi lybrate-user, above creams mentioned are used for specific conditions, for eg acne / pimples. If you are using them for a longer time, it means the cause of your problem has not been acknowledged. We need to treat the cause also. If you are using adapelene cream for a long time, sun protection should be there or else it may trigger sensitivity of the skin.

You should apply ap gel only at night and preferably apply a sunscreen gel in the daytime.
