Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain Pimple marks can occur due to post inflammatory hyperpigmentation and such spots can take a long time to resolve and for improvement you need to take a continuous treatment involving depigmentation topical creams and certain clinical techniques..

As far as skinlite cream is concerned it is a steroid based cream with 3 main ingredients: Tretinoin, Hydroquinone and Mometasone Furoate [steroid].

Steroid creams initially shows wonderful effects on face by reducing pigmentation and brightening the face..
But long term use has severe side effects like skin thinning, pimples, inflammation, rashes, itching, excess hair growth and dilated veins under the skin..

Also on long term use the skin becomes addicted or dependant on steroids and once the use is suddenly stopped, there are withdrawal side effects and it is the same thing that you are facing now that is increased pigmentation, rashes, swelling, redness etc..

I would therefore suggest you to consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation can be done..
He can advise you safer and steroid free depigmentation compositions like Salicylic acid and glycolic acid containing facewash..
Creams with steroid free ingredients like those containing Kojic acid [kojivit, kojicare etc] and glycolic acid and arbutin containing creams can be helpful..
You can also exfoliate your skin twice a week..
Limit sun exposure and always apply sunscreen lotion..
You can also go for Photofacial, Microdermabrasion and chemical peelings..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
