Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You did the right thing by stopping skinlite cream because it contains a potent steroid mometasone which if used indiscriminately can lead to side effects like acne, photosensitivity, skin thinning, telangiectasis, etc. It should never be used without the supervision of a doctor and in any case not more than 2-3 months at a stretch.
Kojivit gel, on the other hand contains kojic acid which is very effective skin lightening agent and is safe for long-term use because it is devoid of the steroid related side effects.
I would advice that you continue with kojivit gel. Usually it produces noticeable improvement within 2-4 weeks.
It is also advisable to use a broad spectrum sunscreen, which offers both UVB and UVA protection, throughout the day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Kakkar S
