Skinlite cream is a combination of hydroquinone ,tretinoin n mometasone.

Hi, Thanks for writing to us. Firstly it is important to know what is causing those dark spots. It could be post inflammatoryhyperpigmentation, lichen planus , freckles, lentigines, melasma etc. Skinlite can't be used for every dark spot. Its better to consult a dermatologist first prior to using skinlite. As far as skinlite is concerned, it has to be used only in night in very small amount. If any redness or irritation occurs then it has to be stopped. As its a strong cream we do not prescribe use beyond a month without proper follow up and guidance. If your dark spots reduce with the same, you may use a milder kojic acid, vitsmin c or arbutin based cream as maintenance. Hope that helped. Take care
