First of all let me tell you, only this cream will not work. Along with this, take one vitamin e capsule at night and use as a face wash.
You will get some results, but it is better to get treatment under the supervision of a dermatologist, if necessary you can get treatment online with us.

You need long-term treatment for complete cure of this problem, so seek treatment from a good dermatologist. If you feel the need, you can take treatment with us in video consult, for temporary results, take dual gel once at night, after a good face wash & take one capsule of vitamin e 400 at night after meals, wash your face again in the morning. Hopefully you will get some results, but remember that the results are only for a few days.
