Brief Answer:
use sunscreen
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Skin lite is a depigmenting agent.
It causes slight peeling and darkening if skin initially. When this skin peels off the underlying skin will be fresh and fair.
This is normal mechanism of action of the cream so there is nothing to worry.
Start applying a sunscreen with spf more than 50. This will protect the underlying skin from getting darker.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you

Thank you for the brief answer doctor☺ so just the sunscreen is enough ???? the layer will disappear by its own without applying any other cream ??? I dont go out anywhere in sun as m not working so do i have to apply sunscreen when i am at home daily???Can I use kojivit cream or any other kojic acid containing creams for fairness?? Thanking you in advance
Brief Answer:
just apply sunscreen
Detailed Answer:
It appears like an allergic reaction to skinlite.
Better don't use any other skin lightening cream now.
Sunscreen will protect the new skin from getting pigmented hence it is advised to use it even when you are at home.
This will take time but your skin tone should improve in a month.
