Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM Skinlite cream contains a potent steroid, Mometasone and it should not be used as a fairness cream. Potents steroids if used indiscriminately over face can lead to side effects like Acne, Photosensitivity, Skin thinning and Atrophy/Telangiectasia and Facial hair growth, which is specially troublesome in females. It interferes with melanin synthesis, therefore one might notice whitening of the skin at the site of application. I would suggest that you use a broad spectrum sunscreen, which offers both UVB and UVA protection, throughout the day. You may use a cream containing one or more of the skin lightening agents like kojic acid, hydroquinone, glycolic acid etc, once daily at night. They are relatively safer for long term use unlike steroids. take care regards
