Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
Skin lite cream contains a mid potent steroid mometasone, hydroquinone and retinoid and it is not an over the counter preparation. It should be prescribed by a dermatologist who knows which condition to start it for and when to stop. It is not recommended to use it longer than what doctor tells you. Moreover it is used in pigmentary disorders like melasma and not for improving skin tone. Long term use can cause steroid induced Rosacea, Acne, Thinning of skin, Redness and increased sensitivity to sunlight. Use a sunscreen with spf 30 or more every 2-3 hrs during the day even if you are indoors. Avoid sun exposure as much as possible. Apply non steroidal lightening cream containing kojic acid at night.
There is no confusion. Stop skin lite.
Hope this helped
Take care
