Dermatologist,  's  Response
hi. Skinlite contains tretinoin, hydroquinone and Mometasone(Steroid). It is a very strong medicine used for Melasma/Pigmentaion. Normal course of action would be to use it not more than 2-3 months and that too under a doctors supervision. Prolonged use more than 2-3 months can lead to steroid related side effects like thinning of skin, flushing, acne, photosensitivity and facial hair in females etc.
