Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
Skinlite cream contains Mometosone, a potent steroid, which over long term use can cause side effects like redness, skin thinning and whitish discolouration of skin. It should not be used without supervision and should not be used for more than 4-6 weeks.
Please stop using skinlite cream.
To retain the complexion, you could use a broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 and above every 4 hours.
At bed time, you could use a cream containing 2% kojic acid, liquorice, arbutin and niacinamide. This is safe and can be used long term without steroidal side effects.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
