Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
Skinlite cream contains hydroquinone which if used for a long period of time, may cause skin darkening. Most lightening solutions can actually darken your skin when you are exposed to the sun. You have to visit your dermatologist and ask what you can do to lighten your skin again. Prolonged use of certain products can really harm your skin. You can discontinue the product and ask for a safer substitute. Natural substitutes are better than those with harmful chemicals.
Take care
