Hello
Thank you for your question .
Yes , SkinLite cream can cause dryness and redness of the skin if rubbed in vigorously into the skin .
Long term use is not good as it can thin out the skin since it contains steroids.
Please make sure you are applying the cream under supervision of a Doctor visit.
Do get back in case of further queries

Hi. Thanks for posting your query.
Skinlite cream contains Mometasone, tretinoin and hydroquinone. Its main use is in treatment of Melasma.
It should not be used indiscriminately like you have been because it contains a potent steroid, Mometasone. It has no role in acne and acne marks.
Though it might improve your complexion and acne marks initially but in a longer run if you continue using it will cause acne, photosensitivity, sensitive skin, facial hair etc
I would advice that you visit a dermatologist for a proper treatment of acne and acne marks.
take care
regards
