Having baked in the sun for many years, I am now living with the consequences.  I have "age" spots on my cheek.

 

My Derm. prescribed TriLuma cream.  I used it for about a week and my skin became very dry and red and started peeling.  I stopped using it and eventually everything returned to normal.

 

Then, I was told about Porcelana and am using that.  It's about a week now, and I am noticing my cheeks are red and skin is very dry and I could peel it if I tried.  I don't know whether or not to  continue to use it or stop.  There is so much information on Google that I really don't know where to begin, so I am wondering if I can get a quick response from somebody here.  TIA

You may be allergic to the Hydroquinone in there. Try switching to a fading crram that is Hydroquinone free. My face can tolerate Hydroquinone, but my chest breaks out from it.
