Hi.. Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC.. I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns.. As per your complain Skinlite cream contains Hydroquinone, Tretinoin and Mometasone Furoate (Steroid).. It is a excellent formula for reducing pigmentation pigmentation in short duration but as it has a Steroid long term use can be harmful for the skin and can cause skin thinning, rashes, pimples and swollen vein under skin etc.. So I would suggest you to apply Skinlite cream for a week or ten days and as the pigmentation disappear you can start using other depigmentation creams that are suitable for long term use like Washing your face with Salicylic acid and glycolic acid containing facewash.. Apply creams containing Kojic Acid, Glycolic acid and arbutin like Kojivit, Kojicare etc.. Apply Vitamin E gel at night night.. Scrub your face with a gentle scrub twice a week.. Take Vitamin C supplements.. You can also go for treatment like Photofacial, Microdermabrasion or chemical present.. Hope this information helps.. Thanks and regards. Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
