How it works
Liteza Cream is a combination of three medicines: Hydroquinone, Mometasone, and Tretinoin, which treats 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. This effect is reversible. Mometasone is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. Tretinoin is a form of vitamin A that helps the skin to renew itself more quickly.
Quick Tips
Liteza Cream is used for the short-term treatment of mild to moderate melasma. It should always be used along with sun-avoidance measures like using sunscreens and wearing protective clothing. Apply and massage gently till the cream is fully absorbed once daily at night. Do not apply on broken or infected areas of skin. Discontinue use if you experience irritation or allergy and consult your doctor. Do not use it for longer than 6-8 weeks without consulting your doctor.
