Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic The creams that you have been using (skinlite and lomela) are essentially the same composition of a steroid+tretinoin+hydroquinone. They are not meant for regular use. These creams are prescription products and should never be used without a dermatologist s advice. Dermatologist s commonly prescribe them for facial hyperpigmentation/melasma. However, they should never be used as a regular fairness cream and in any case not for more than 2-3 months since the steroid content of this cream can cause various side effects like acne, photosensitivity, skin thinning and telangiectasia and facial hair growth (hirsutism) which is specially troublesome in females. I would suggest that you use a broad spectrum sunscreen, throughout the day. At night you could use a glycolic acid cream (Glyco -A) Or Kojic acid cream (Kojic cream) to obtain the desired results of brighter complexion and even tone. You could also opt for a few peeling sessions from a dermatologist e.g Yellow peel (Retinol CT peel) Or Glycolic peel Or lactic peel. regards
