Melacare Hydroquinone Tretinoin & Mometasone Furoate Cream 25Gm Exp 01/2027

Composition and Mechanism

Melacare Cream contains three active ingredients: Hydroquinone (2%), Tretinoin (0.025%), and Mometasone (0.1%)

• Hydroquinone is a depigmenting agent that inhibits melanin production, helping to lighten dark patches and even out skin tone
• Tretinoin, a vitamin A derivative, accelerates skin cell turnover, promoting the replacement of pigmented cells with new, healthy skin
• Mometasone is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, redness, and irritation, enhancing the tolerability of the treatment
  Together, these ingredients target hyperpigmentation, melasma, post-inflammatory pigmentation, and age spots by reducing melanin formation, promoting skin renewal, and controlling inflammation.

Indications

Melacare Cream is primarily used for:

• Melasma (dark, discolored facial patches)
• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (after acne or skin injury)
• Freckles, age spots, and uneven skin tone
  It is intended for short-term, intermittent use under medical supervision.

Application Instructions

• Clean and dry the affected area before use
• Apply a thin layer of cream to the affected skin, avoiding eyes, lips, nostrils, and broken skin
• Wash hands after application unless treating the hands themselves.
• Use once daily, preferably at night, unless otherwise directed by a dermatologist.
• Avoid sun exposure and use broad-spectrum sunscreen, as the cream increases photosensitivity

Side Effects

Common side effects include:

• Redness, itching, burning, or stinging at the application site
• Dryness, peeling, or irritation
• Increased sensitivity to sunlight
  Severe allergic reactions (hives, difficulty breathing) require immediate discontinuation and medical attention.

Precautions

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Generally not recommended due to potential harm to the baby
• Children under 12 years: Safety not established.
• Avoid prolonged use: Overuse may cause skin thinning, hypopigmentation, or rebound hyperpigmentation
• Patch test: Recommended before starting treatment to check for allergic reactions

Melacare Cream is an effective dermatological treatment for hyperpigmentation, combining hydroquinone to lighten skin, tretinoin to promote cell turnover, and mometasone to reduce inflammation. Proper application, sun protection, and adherence to prescribed duration are essential to maximize benefits and minimize side effects. Always consult a dermatologist before use to ensure safety and effectiveness
