Apply it\u00a0<strong>only at night<\/strong>\u00a0and wear SPF 50+ during the day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The &#8220;Spot-Only&#8221; Rule<\/strong>: Do not slather this all over your face like a moisturizer. Use a cotton swab to apply it\u00a0<strong>only on the dark spots<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The 2-Month Limit<\/strong>: Using it for too long can cause &#8220;Ochronosis&#8221; (bluish-black discoloration). Use it for 2 months, then take a 1-month break.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion,\u00a0<strong>Domina Cream<\/strong>\u00a0is an incredible tool for home whitening, but for flawless, red-carpet skin, professional lasers are the ultimate secret.
