Hi, Well, Skinlite cream is not a face brightening cream as it has steroid and continuous use can damage the skin and it seems to have happened in your case. As you applied the cream for a month it can cause skin thinning, inflammation of skin and can even increase darkness of the skin. Applying Bleaching agent on already damaged skin can damage it further and cause burning and dark spots. But applying the cream again can be very harmful and cause further damage to skin. You should not apply Skinlite at all. You should apply other safer brightening creams and gels and appropriate sun protection creams for improvement. You can apply Kojic acid containing cream like Kojivit or other similar creams over the skin. Vitamin E containing gel can be applied. You can scrub the skin with a gentle face scrub. Always apply Sunscreen lotion when you go out, if there is bright sunlight you can even cover the face with a scarf. You can apply cooled aloe vera gel over the skin. You can also rub ice over the face. Keep yourself hydrated and avoid oily foods. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
