Hi, I can understand your concern and after reading the query it appears that you are suffering from steroid abuse and dependence. Skinlite contains hydroquinone, steroid and tretinoin. The cream is good but shouldn t be used without a dermatologist s prescription. On its prolonged use it can cause thinning skin with red irritated skin or even hair growth. Lightening agents such as Kojic acid or azelaic acid or Hydroquinone cream application which you can use under dermatological guidance. The most important part in treatment is by sun protection by all measures. Eat healthy diet containing lot of Vitamin A and Vitamin C. Do not try apply skinlite as on long term usage can further aggravate the situation. Take a proper guidance and follow up with a good dermatologist so that all the problem of acne can be dealt best for future time. Take care
