Hi thanks for posting,
skinlite contains hydroquinone2%, tretinoin.025%, momatosone furoate .1%

Hydroquinone or tretinoin can cause redness and burning and postinflamatory hyperpigmentation in sensitive individuals(as in your case).

Ban a tan does not have these in it so you can use it
Use a sunscreen like sunban in addition
mild steriod cream once a day will also help

Hope this answers your query

Hai,
Welcome to HCM,
Hyperpigmentation may be caused by Sun damage , inflammation or other skin injuries .
Huperpigmentation caused by an excess production of Melanin, affecting the face and the back of the hands. Melanin is produced by Melanocytes at the lower of the epidermis. Melanin is a class of responsible for producing color in the body in places such as the eyes , skin ,and hair.
AYURVEDA Teaches , Take Fresh Juices of certain vegetables like CUCUMBER , TOMATO ,etc.
1,VITAMIN.E is commonly known as the skin vitamin.
2, ALMONDS are also useful for good skin.
3.OLIVE OIL had anti- inflammatory properties and is hence a very effective remedy for Hyper pigmentation,
4, Take GHANTHAK RASAYAN 5gms twice daily with palm jaggery.
5. Apply PIGMENTO CREAM daily.

**
1. ingredient of skin lite cream causes pigmentation when exposed to sunlight, or could be adverse effect of the medicine.
2. for your dark area on nose, take 2 spoonful gram flour and add a pinch of haldi (turmeric) along with few drops of lemon juice and 1 spoonful curd and make a paste and apply this pack on your nose.
