Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain I would like to inform you that Skinlite cream is a steroid based cream containing Hydroquinone, Tretinoin and Mometasone Furoate..

Steroid creams initially shows wonderful effects on face by reducing pigmentation and brightening the face..

But long term use has severe side effects like skin thinning, pimples, inflammation, rashes, itching, excess hairgrowth and dilated veins under the skin..

Also on long term use the skin becomes addicted or dependant on steroids known as STEROID DEPENDANCE and once the use is suddenly stopped, there are withdrawal side effects that is increased pigmentation, rashes, swelling, redness etc..

Therefore, I do not recommend using skinlite cream or any other steroid based creams as side effects generally overpowers its benefits..

You can use safer depigmentation creams like Kojic acid creams.
You can use Vitamin E gel..
Limit sun exposure and always apply sunscreen lotion when exposed to sun..
Exfoliate your skin twice a week..

You can go for photofacials and chemical peelings..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
