What are the side effects of K Shine Lotion?

Can I use a steroid cream along with K Shine Lotion?
It is recommended that you use a mild steroid ointment like hydrocortisone cream/ointment in the morning and use K Shine Lotion in the evening. You can then stop using the steroid cream gradually over 2-3 weeks. But, if you have used a potent corticosteroid for seborrheic dermatitis, maintain at least a gap of 2 weeks before you apply K Shine Lotion to prevent skin sensitization.
