Hello,
skinlite cream is a strong pigmentation reducer cream and shouldn't be used without a dermatologist's prescription. It contains steroid, hydroquinone and tretinoin. Though initial effects with the cream are good but prolonged use may lead to thin dry skin with visible thread veins, acne, red irritated skin.

Both have hydroquinone as ingredient & this should not use for more then 1 month, otherwise this will cause more severe darkness (exogenous ochronosis ). Melasma have different types & darkness on your face may not be melasma & may be other disease like pih, ochronosis, riehl" s melanosis. So you should consult with your dermatologist. He will find out what disease you have & treat you accordingly.
