Using Skin Lite Cream To Change The Color Of Dark Skin. Any Side Effects?

I used Skin Lite cream for past 1 month. My skin type is normal. Can I use that cream continuously? Because, some people use that cream in my office. They are affected for some skin problems. That is why i just bothered? Pls. reply. By nature I am a dark skin person. If I use that cream regularly, That color change will happen or not.

Hi,
Skinlite cream is a strong pigmentation reducing cream to be used for pigmentation disorders.
I would not advocate its routine use.
I understand that you are worried due to dark skin color but complexion is a genetic thing. Whatever result you will achieve with any cream it would be temporary.
Instead concentrate on having an even skin tone.
For the same use a sunscreen every morning. Use mild kojic acid, arbutin based creams as these do not exert any harmful effect in long run. You may also take few peeling sessions under your doctor's supervision to brighten up your skin.
Hope that helped.
