Hello thanks for posting,
SKINLITE CREAM is mailny used if any underlying pigmentation is present.It has to be used in very little quantity(only on concerned area) only at night.Excess use causes redness and peeling of skin.Suggest you to use a mositurizer one hour after applying skinlite and a sunscreen morning and afternoon of spf 30.
In case if you are using skinlite as fairness cream for complexion improvement advice you to stop it.

Hello and welcome to HCM.
It seems you have got local irritation to the cream you have used. It called Contact irritant dermatitis.
Nothing to worry as your skin will be fine soon.
I would advise you a week course of oral prednisolone in low dose (5-10mg).
Apply a mild corticosteroid like desonide and antibiotic like fusidic acid twice a day.
After good quality moisturiser like cetaphil DAM twice a day over full face.
Avoid use of any cosmetics/facewash for few days.
Avoid direct sun exposure and use water-based sunscreen before stepping out in sun.
Avoid any further usage of Skinlite cream without a consult from your dermatologist.
Hope this was useful.
Take care
