MELANORM HC CREAM

Question 1

How does MELANORM HC CREAM work?

Accepted Answer

MELANORM HC CREAM contains Hydroquinone, Mometasone and Tretinoin. Hydroquinone is a skin lightening agent that works by decreasing the amount of melanin (a skin pigment) that is responsible for the darkening of the skin. Mometasone is a corticosteroid that acts inside skin cells and inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching and swelling. Tretinoin belongs to the class of retinoids (man-made vitamin A) that works by increasing the renewal of skin cells which helps in natural exfoliation of skin’s outer layers.

Question 2

Does MELANORM HC CREAM make skin sensitive to sunlight?

Accepted Answer

Yes, MELANORM HC CREAM may increase the skin sensitivity to sunlight in the treated areas. Therefore, avoid or limit exposure to sunlight and sunlamps. You are advised to use a sunscreen and wear protective clothing while going out to prevent sunburn.

Question 3

Does MELANORM HC CREAM cause skin irritation?
