Ret hc cream is basically used to treat pigmentation issues. Long term use of it has side effects as it has steroid as well which can reduce skin thickness, increase hair growth amongst many other. Stop using it if you have already used it for more than 3-6 months
Next Steps
Use a sunscreen according to your skin type regularly and you can switch to a Vitamin C serum at night which will also give you a clear skin and glow. Use a good face wash
