Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic Skinlite cream contains a combination of tretinoin, hydroquinone and mometasone. This is a gold standard combination for hyperpigmentary conditions on face. It is prescribed by dermatologists for melasma/hyperpigmentation on face and in any case should never be used for more than 2-3 months at a stretch. However, it should never be used OTC and only be used if prescribed by a dermatologist. Indiscriminate use and over use, for more than 2-3 months, of this combination is associated with serious side effects like like acne, skin thinning, telangiectasis, sun sensitivity/photosensitivity, facial hair growth/hirsutism (specially troublesome in females) etc. A skin lightening cream containing one or more of the following skin lightening ingredients e.g kojic acid, glycolic acid, arbutin, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, liquorice etc are safer even if used over a longer period of time. You should use a broad spectrum sunscreen, that which offers both UV B as well as UV A protection, throughout the day. I would suggest that you see a dermatologist before using skinlite cream. Your Dermatologist would know the best for you.
