Hi,

Skinlite Cream contains a potent steroid and hydroquinone which is commonly prescribed to treat skin pigmentation associated with acne, sunburn, or other conditions. Generally it is considered to be safe if used as per the advice of a dermatologist. However it may cause burning sensation, redness, thinning of the skin, red spots and abnormal hair growth over the affected area. So, in view of the above it should not be used for a long time. Whereas Banatan is also found to be useful in treating the skin pigmentation however it does not cause the side effects as seen with skinlite.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
