Skinlite Cream is a prescription medicine containing Mometasone (0.1%w/w) + Hydroquinone (2%w/w) + Tretinoin (0.025%w/w).

It belongs to the group of medicines called Depigmenting agent + topical retinoid + topical corticosteroid.
For external use only. The dose and how long you take it depend on what you are being treated for and how you respond. Do not take more, or for longer, than your doctor has advised.
The side effects seen most often with Skinlite Cream are skin irritation, burning/stinging, redness and dryness. Most are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. Tell your doctor if one persists or worries you.
Before you start, tell your doctor about any liver, kidney or heart problem, whether you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding, and every other medicine you take, including supplements and ayurvedic preparations. Some of them can change how Skinlite Cream works.
Most side effects of Skinlite are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:
Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.
For external use only. Apply a thin layer to affected areas once daily at night or as directed by a dermatologist; avoid eyes, lips and broken skin. Use sunscreen (SPF 30+) in daytime and limit sun exposure; do not apply more than prescribed or for longer duration.
Hydroquinone reduces melanin formation by inhibiting tyrosinase, lightening dark patches. Tretinoin increases skin cell turnover and improves penetration of hydroquinone. Mometasone (a corticosteroid) reduces inflammation and irritation, but prolonged use can cause steroid-related skin damage.
Use only under medical supervision; steroid-containing triple-combination creams are not for long-term or unsupervised use. Avoid use on large areas, under occlusion, or on infected/ulcerated skin. Stop and consult doctor if severe irritation, swelling, or worsening pigmentation occurs; risk of rebound hyperpigmentation and steroid-induced side effects (skin atrophy, rosacea-like dermatitis). Not recommended for children; avoid using on face for prolonged periods. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen; tretinoin increases photosensitivity. Hydroquinone may rarely cause ochronosis with prolonged use.
Apply it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one — applying extra does not make up for it.
An overdose of this medicine can suppress the body's own steroid production when it is used for a long time over large areas, especially in children. It is unlikely from skin use; swallowing the preparation may cause stomach upset. It can cause severe irritation when far too much cream is applied; an oral retinoid taken in excess can cause headache, vomiting and liver injury. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct light. Keep tube tightly closed; keep out of reach of children.
