Hi. Thanks for posting you concern at HCM
Skinlite cream contains Mometasone, tretinoin and Hydroquinone. It is usually prescribed by dermatologists for Melasma and Pigmentation over face.
It should not be used as a fairness cream because prolonged use can lead to steroid related side effects like acne, photosensitivity, skin thinning and telangiectasis, facial hair growth specially in females.
It should always be used under the supervision of a dermatologist and that too for not more than 2-3 months
I would advice that you visit a dermatologist who might suggest you a lightening cream containing ingredients like kojic acid, glycolic acid, arbutin, tetrahydrocurcumin, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate OR liquorice extract which are safer to use in long term without the side effects of steroid.
Use a Broad spectrum sunscreen, which is a must throughout the day.
take care
regards
