Hi.
As per your case-history you are having dependance of skin-lite cream. Many cream like skin-lite contain similar composition of tretinoin plus hydroquinone plus mometasone.
These are a type of bleaching cream that would remove top layer of your skin giving rapid fairness but rebound darkening of skin.
My treatment advice-
1. Stop skin-lite cream. There will be darkening of skin for initial few days but it is better in longer run.
2. Use a good sun-screen with spf more than 30. Avoid face-wash and other cosmetics. Use a simple glycerine soap like pears for face.
3. Take tab. Vitamin C 500mg daily once. Apply a kojic acid cream like kojifair or kojivit once at night. It will give you gradual results in 10-12 weeks but results will be permanent without relapse of dark skin.
Thanks.
