Hi Practo user
Skinshine cream is a hydroquinone based cream, although it has very mild side effects but continuing its use during pregnancy and breastfeeding is always questionable. My suggestion is to use herbal creams during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Hydroquinone is a bleaching agent,but if we search our kitchen we can find lots of bleaching agents in our kitchen only. For example turmeric, potato, tomato, cucumber. They are chemical free, natural ingredients.
