Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain Cosmelite is a steroid based skin brightening cream but at times it can increase photosensitivity and when applied and exposed to sun it can lead to increased pigmentation..
You have got under eye pigmentation due to it..
I would suggest you to stop applying Cosmolite cream completely and initially you may experience side effects and there can be increased pigmentation but you should keep patience..
You can start washing your face with Salicylic acid containing facewash..
Apply creams containing Kojic acid, glycolic acid and arbutin..
Azelic acid preparations can be helpful..
Do cool compresses around the eyes..You can also exfoliate your skin twice a week..
Take Vitamin C supplements..
Apply Vitamin E gel..


Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
