Hi, thanks for posting your query
Skinlite has hydroquinone -a depigmenting agent, tretinoin and momatosone - a steroid
As momatosone is a moderate steroid it should not be used on face for long time because it can cause skin thinning, hypopigmentation, increase in facial hair and dependance
so increase facial hair growth can occur
As such the cream doesnot make your skin dark but it increases sensitivity to sunlight, so a sunscreen has to be used regularly during the day time
since there is considerable improvement you can start maintainance with Banatan cream or kojic cream
Hope this solves your query
