Hi. Welcome to healthcaremagic.

Skinlite cream should not be used for more than 2-3 months and that too without the supervision of a doctor for fear of steroid related side effects like:

-Acne,
-Photosensitivity,
-Skin thinning and Telangiectasia,
-Facial hair growth,specially troublesome in females.

It is not advisable to use it in pregnancy because it contains tretinoin as well apart from a potent steroid , which is contraindicated in pregnancy. Therefore, I would advice that you discontinue the cream right away.

Use a broad spectrum sunscreen, which offers both UVB and UVA protection throughout the day.
