Or pls suggest some more effective cream, my skin is very oily. Thanks you so much
Hello Gaurav, Welcome to Chat Doctor Melanie XL contains a mid potent steroid, retinoid and HY Chat Doctor.  It is a cream to be used only under doctors supervision and is not meant to be used for long term. It can cause rosacea, thinning of skin, redness and increased sensitivity to sunlight if used for long duration. I would recommend you to slowly decrease the frequency of application to twice a week, then once a week and stop the cream and add on a comic acid or albumin containing cream daily at night. Sun protection with sunscreen is an absolute must. Apply sunscreen ideally a gel formulation as you have an oily skin, and you are pimple prone. Reapply sunscreen every 3-4 hours daily. Cosmetic procedure like glycol peels will help you. You can consult a cosmetologist for the same. For dark circles lifestyle modification is important. Sleep well,
