I used a skin lightening cream for a couple of years.. the results were amazing but eventually I ended up with enlarged pores on my cheeks. It was probably due to the steroids found in these creams. Is there any way to reverse the steroids effect? Will they get better on their own? I stopped using the cream immediately after seeing them.

It should over time, return back to normal shade and color and pores. There may be some issues with spotting and discoloration as you stop using.

But I have heard once open pores appear they never really go entirely.. isn't that true?
