Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain Skinlite cream contains tretinoin, hydroquinone and steroid..
Darkening of the skin or hyperpgmentation can at times occur as the side effect of the steroid present in the cream..
As you have stopped using the cream there will be some improvement on its own and you need not to worry about it..
You should also completely avoid sun exposure to the face as Photosensitivity effect can cause further darkening..
You can start washing your face with Glycolic acid and salicylic acid containing facewash..
You can apply creams containing Kojic acid, glycolic acid and arbutin..
You can also apply Azelic acid creams..
You can also exfoliate your skin with a gentle face scrub twice a day..
Apply Vitamin E and C containing creams.
Take Vitamin C supplements and drink plenty of water..
Apply sunscreen lotion when exposed to sun..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
