Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello dear,
Welcome to healthcaremagic.
I have read your query and understood your concern.
Skinlite cream is a combination cream containing potent topical steroid as one of its constituents.
its use is not advisable by dermatologist. if at all recommended, such a prolonged use leads to a number of side effects.
It makes the skin addicted to steroids.
I will advice you to stop using it asap.
instead use sunscreen and other safer depigmenting agents like kojic acid, glycolic acid, vitamin C, mandelic acid, arbutin etc.
apply good amount of moisturisers over face.
if you have further query you may ask me.
Stay healthy.
