Benefits of Mela 3 Cream

Melasma
Melasma is a common skin problem that causes dark, discolored patches on your skin primarily on the face. It frequently occurs during pregnancy and menopause. Mela 3 Cream helps to lighten these dark patches by reducing the production of melanin (natural skin pigment). It lightens skin color and gives a smoother-looking skin. Mela 3 Cream also reduces any swelling, redness and itchiness especially if you have a sensitive skin. This helps boost your self-esteem and confidence as your appearance changes. Keep using it for as long as it is prescribed to get the full benefits.

Side effects of Mela 3 Cream

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

How to use Mela 3 Cream

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the cream. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.

How Mela 3 Cream works

Mela 3 Cream is a combination of three medicines: Hydroquinone, Tretinoin and Fluocinolone acetonide which treat melasma (dark spots on skin). Hydroquinone is a skin lightening medicine. It reduces the amount of a skin pigment (melanin) that causes darkening of skin. Tretinoin is a form of vitamin A that helps the skin to renew itself more quickly. Fluocinolone acetonide is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy.

Quick tips

  • You have been prescribed Mela 3 Cream to reduce skin pigmentation.
  • Along with applying Mela 3 Cream, wear long-sleeved clothing, sunglasses, hat whenever you step outside in the hot sun for better protection.
  • Don't cover the area being treated with airtight dressings such as bandages unless directed by a doctor.
  • Use moisturizer regularly to overcome skin dryness during the course of treatment.
  • You may also use certain safe cosmetics (after consulting with your doctor) in order to lighten pigmentation.
  • Before using Mela 3 Cream, inform your doctor if you have any skin problems or are applying any other medicines to your skin.
