Melacare

Uses
Melacare Cream (Hydroquinone/Tretinoin/Mometasone Furoate) is primarily used as a skin bleaching agent, to lighten the appearance of the skin. Hydroquinone inhibits an enzyme known as tyrosinase, which lowers the amount of melanin (a skin pigment) formed in the skin. Another active ingredient, Tretinoin (a retinoid) then helps with the elimination of any melanin that has been dispersed.

This cream also contains mometasone furoate, which is a corticosteroid that is used to suppress the permeability of the membrane as well as any potential immune response. Dermatologists frequently advise patients affected by hyperpigmentation (dark patches of skin that occur on the face, hands or elsewhere on the body) to use this combination cream, and in some cases, patients have used it under medical supervision in combination with other products as part of a chemical peel treatment.

Dosage and Administration
Melacare Cream (Hydroquinone/Tretinoin/Mometasone Furoate) is for use on the skin only. After examining your condition, the doctor will inform you how much of the cream to use, and when you need to use it. The application instructions may be different for each patient based on how serious the condition is.
