Hello,

Skin Lite is a topical cream that contains hydroquinone, tretinoin, and mometasone furoate, which are potent ingredients that can have side effects if used improperly or for a prolonged period.

Hydroquinone, one of the ingredients in Skin Lite, is used to lighten dark spots, but it can cause skin irritation, redness, and a condition called ochronosis, which causes darkening and thickening of the skin.

Tretinoin is a form of vitamin A that helps to reduce fine wrinkles and improve skin texture, but it can cause dryness, peeling, and redness.

Mometasone furoate is a corticosteroid that helps to reduce inflammation and itching, but it can cause thinning of the skin and increased risk of infections.

Therefore, it is essential to follow the instructions of a healthcare professional and not to use Skin Lite for a prolonged period without medical supervision. It is also important to avoid using Skin Lite on broken or irritated skin and to protect your skin from the sun while using this medication, as it can increase the risk of sunburn and skin damage.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shah Hussain, General & Family Physician
