Talking about skin, I had a request to review this particular cream which has been doing the rounds in some dermatologist's offices. Many of you have been prescribed this cream for hyper-pigmentation and you want to know how effective this is.

Twice a day
In the morning, after a bath.
At night, after washing your face and before retiring to bed.
MY EXPERIENCE AND THOUGHTS
It is an opaque and thick cream
I think the odour is really bad.
It works well and at onset of use it starts to target brown spots and break down it's appearance hence lightening the skin within two weeks time. With continued use it gave positive results but when I stopped using it, some pigmented patches were slightly visible again.
The question is- Can you use it long term because of the active ingredients in this?
The answer is NO.You can use it for a month and discontinue for the next month and then use it at a later point because you have to keep in mind about hypersensitivity issues. For these reasons you should not purchase this yourself, you need to be prescribed this medicine, it is not a beauty product.
There is a face mask which is a peel off masque that has been launched in India which can be used in the months when you discontinue the cream. I have not had a chance to try it as it is not available in my local pharmacy. If I do manage to get it, I will review the same for you all :)
Some people have used this cream with extreme pigmentation from pregnancy and felt it doesn't work as well.
Hole in my wallet: Can't remember, purchased it from the pharmacy. Kindly consult them.

@Ruqaiya, Yes it is for hyperpigmentation :)
ReplyDelete@GirlieBlogger, you are most welcome. Any day now for you, right? :) Am excited.
Thanks for this review. Will it help get rid of freckles too?
ReplyDelete@Ghazala, If there freckles are hereditary then am afraid not. They can lighten them if they have come due to sun exposure or are recently attained.
ReplyDeleteNice info and review...
ReplyDeleteGreat review, sounds quite interesting and good for anyone experience dark spots!

ReplyDelete@Deepika, I had that problem until I learnt Sudarshana Kriya from Art of Living. Till then whatever technique I tried, I just could not stay still. Now it's so much easier :) A time will come when you will be able to. I have made a special corner in my house just for it, makes me want to sit there and think about things, reflect and just be.It's magical.
ReplyDeleteIam using this product recently but my skin is getting some type of peel .is this product effecting on my skin.
ReplyDeleteIt must be removing the top layer of your skin. If it hurts, is red or you develop an itch please stop using the product immediately and consult your dermatologist.

ReplyDeleteThank you ..that symptoms are happening on my face i will stop using it ..thank for the information
ReplyDeleteHi Sandeep, yes, I think your skin is having a bad reaction to it. Best to stop. tc
Deleteand always Always, before applying a new product to your facial skin, do a patch test on the skin of your inner elbow. apply the product there first and see that your skin is alright and then only do you apply it to your face. patch test is always crucial.
DeleteHmmm. But my spots are invisible upto some extend ...but after washing my face some off the effected area getting a peel....redness is stopped.. now
ReplyDeleteYou can use witch hazel lotion to calm the area if you want to.
DeleteDepiwhite is waste & worst product. .m using but spots not less even dark..I hate depiwhite..plz stop to cheating with people m angry on this...

ReplyDeleteas I m having red spots on ma face and my Dr has said to use kozisol gel but I hearef the name of depiwhite...

i was prescribed depiwhite by my derm. but when i relocated, an australian derm advised me against this ! He said that this was the one causing my acne ! the moment i stopped it, my face got clear..however, it did not even work for my pigmentation too....so i think its better to try for 1-2 weeks and if there is no result and you are breaking out, its better to have a consultation !
ReplyDeletehi, thank you for your valuable comment. I would suggest not using this in the first place as some of these creams are harmful in the long run.
DeleteAlso, I like your name, Cadbury girl :)
hey...i used depwhite cream last year ..it was very effective...but now i started using it since last 2 days...it results in redness of my face...please help me....it is hell embarrissing.....
ReplyDeleteAkshay, I would suggest you stop using it immediately. Perhaps your skin was exposed to the sun after using and maybe it has reacted badly. If it's terrible, kindly consult a dermatologist who will give you medication to calm down the redness. i suggest you do not use it anymore.
DeleteI ws prescribed depiwhite.. Bt aftr using it for two days..my spots became more darker n spreaded like brown patches also having burning sensation...m panicking.. No relief.. M begging u all. Plzz suggest me to cool my skin n to get rid of those brown patches n burning sensation..

ReplyDeletestop using it right away. let the redness clear off. After few days apply aloe vera to heal the region. I don't think it suits you
Deletemy dermatologist prescribed it to me for dark sensitive area, she said twice per day.. is it safe to use it at the bikini area or what.. i didn't purchase it yet
ReplyDeletePlease don't use it on your bikini area. It's not THAT safe.

ReplyDeleteI can I use this cream for post pimple marks??
ReplyDeleteHai..am using depiwhite as dermatologist suggested.I must have to go out since my job is to meet the clients..I will get exposure to sun..I heard that due to sun exposure,skin will become dark..if I apply suncros/lakme can I protect my skin from sun..
ReplyDeletei suggest you do not use depiwhite on days of sun exposure. It would be harmful. Sunscreens only block the uv rays, it will not stop the interaction between the cream and sun exposure. thank you for your query
DeleteI mean after using depiwhite..
ReplyDeleteCan I use it for dark circles?
ReplyDeleteNo dear, please don't use it anywhere near your eyes.
DeleteHi

Deletedear Dr.
ReplyDeleteKindly..Is depiwhite advanced contain Hydroquinone?
Best regards
Hi Samer, I would suggest staying away from it
DeleteHi
ReplyDeleteSorry my question was do you depiwhite advanced cream contains in the active ingredient on hydroquinone because I'm a pharmacist and I like to make sure
Thnks for your support
If you are pharmacist, kindly refer to the ingredients in the said formula. It's as simple as that. I do not have the tube of the medication you are referring to on me as I am a doctor and not a medical supplier.
DeleteYou contact the manufacturer for the same information, please, Samer. Thank you for your query
DeleteHi..a dermatologist prescribed me depiwhite intensive whitening cream for fading stain marks of derobin oint..pls suggest me.will it help or not ?
ReplyDeleteIf he has prescribed it, then he must have taken a thorough assessment before having done so. Kindly take another opinion from a dermatologist in your city if you are having second doubts. thank you for your query
DeleteHi i'm afaf Thanks for the info and efforts can i use it forburning marks
ReplyDeleteHI afaf, please consult your dermatologist so that they can assess if it is suitable for your burn. First, get the burn treated and then assess the options available for lightening the scars if any are left behind. It depends on the degree of the burn that you have acquired. warm regards and thank you for your query
Deletehi i m pregnant in 4 weeks is Depiwhite safe for me as pregnant woman ?
ReplyDeleteHi Fatiz, please don't use it while you are pregnant or breast feeding. Thank you
DeleteHi I have been prescribed depi white milk body lotion by my derm to be used twice a day (morning and night) to make my complexion more even and smooth and for enlarged pores. I've been using it for two days. I've noticed a small light brown mark on my cheek has appeared from it's use. Also can it be used on face, arms and neck and under eyes? I've heard once we stop using this product the skin goes back to it's damaged condition and we have to start using it again.
ReplyDeleteDear Maha, it's true. It doesn't do much for damaged skin. Also please do not use it on sensitive areas especially your under eyes. If you are noticing pigmentation from the cream, please stop using it.
Deletecan it be used for freckles? i am pregnant right now so hv discontinued all creams and lotions but post that would usage of this is suggested?
ReplyDeleteI would suggest you don't use it during pregnancy, better to be safe as this is a period when whatever you apply gets absorbed into your system and can cause problems for the child. I would suggest using something that's natural currently.
Deletehey hii my doctor prescribe me this cream to use but i read many review of this cream which is not good so should i use this or not ?is it safe?
ReplyDeleteHi, if your doctor is a certified practitioner and has asked you to use it, you may for a short period of time. Personally, I would just not use it. It's not entirely safe.
DeleteHi
ReplyDeleteI started using deepiwhite advanced cream for circles around my eyes .I use it directly when i go to bed but i feel it irritates my eyes when i use it.
Please do not use it for your eyes. it's not mean to be used around it. very dangerous!
DeleteHi, my daughter is 16. the cosmetologist has rubbed her face with salicylic acid after cleaning the acnes, and now there's is dark bron spot left around her mouth. then she recommended my daighter to use depiwhite to get rid of this spot. do you think this cream will help her to get rid of this spot and can she use it at her age?
ReplyDeleteHi Naza. if the spot around her mouth is a recent one, i would suggest using purest grade of vitamin E oil. that's the best way to get rid of the spot. Also, take care of her diet so that her acne is controlled. What goes into her system , is what is showing on her skin. Ask her to drink plenty of fresh fluids and water. Kiehl's has a dark spot corrector that works really well. You can check with the brand. it's better to not use depiwhite at such a young age, take care.
DeleteHi I started using depi white advanced cream as recommended by my doc but started having pimples on my face. Should I stop also it was pescribed after my 1st laser session.
ReplyDeletePlease discontinue the treatment asap!
DeleteTanx a lot for d reply...

DeleteFrom ...http://www.labo-acm.com/en/skin-hyperpigmentation/depiwhite-advanced-cream/
ReplyDeleteDirections for use
Apply Depiwhite Advanced depigmenting cream once a day to the affected areas for 2 to 6 months.
I used it once a day before bedtime and use and have to use high spf sunscreen(spf 80) as recommended by my doctor. Twice a day is to much.
i believe this cream should not be used without a prescription and even if used, should be used very sparingly and for a very short span of time.
DeleteM using depiwhite 1 month is done.m using for fairness pimples is coming can I continue that cream??
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's suiting you if you are breaking out, it's a sign to stop the cream.
DeleteI have dark color skin around mouth. Shall I use this cream???
ReplyDeletehi Ajitha, thank you for your comment. I would advise against using this for the skin around your mouth.
DeleteIt's most likely due to a hormone problem and you would need to consult an endocrinologist to get a hormone assay done. One the underlying issue is corrected, the dark color will gradually improve. please check your diet.
What to for pimples???. Doctor suggested to me use that cream.can I consult to the doctor??
ReplyDeleteThis cream is not for pimples, kindly consult a good dermatologist who will direct you to the proper treatment.
DeleteWhat to do for pimples?? My skin very sensitive
ReplyDeletePlease do not use this product if you have sensitive skin.
DeleteKindly do not use depiwhite cream who have sensitive skins
ReplyDeleteI have developed scars overnight across my face.
Worst feeling ever it killed the spirit out of me.
The doctor who suggested now defending by telling that I had these previously.
Lost the faith in doctors.
I'm sorry to hear about your experience but your comment will save so many out there who use the cream without a prescription. I would suggest using kumkumadi oil from kottakal pharmacy to heal your scars it surely helps and has no chemicals in it. It takes time to work but it will heal your skin. Also internally drink freshly pressed carrot juice on empty stomach, daily in the morning. It should be extracted through a juice extractor.
DeleteWorst feeling after using depite cream I developed overnight scras on my face.
ReplyDeleteSensitive skin people should not use this cream
The doctors who suggested are not helping me now.
Lost the faith in doctors.
Thank you for your review on the same, Yathisha. I hope people read your comment and realize this is not a safe cream.
DeleteDr suggested me depiwhite for acne scars in my cheeks. So i applied it only in my cheeks but now my forehead , chin , neck are darker than cheeks . I applied it to my forehead and cheeks but pimple started appearing so i stopped. And my lips are too darker . It looks awkward as chin is fairer but other parts darkers and lips dark . I cant meet my dermotologist as i am out of the city. Can u pls help me .
ReplyDeleteStop using the cream and meet your derm.
DeleteIs it safe for applying depiwhite below eyes(dark circles )?
ReplyDeleteHi, I applied this for 1 week to even the colors on my forehead and now my fore head has become really dark (BLACK). Stopped using this immediately. Is there a way for me to get rid of this blackness and have my original color back on my fore head ?
ReplyDeletePlease help me.
Sounds like a bad burn. You will need to consult your derm which you would have already by now.
