How it works
Melalite 15 Cream is a combination of three medicines: Hydroquinone, Octinoxate, and Benzophenone. Hydroquinone is a skin lightening medicine that reduces the amount of a skin pigment (melanin) that causes darkening of skin. This effect is reversible. Octinoxate and Benzophenone are organic compounds that work by absorbing ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun, protecting the skin from damage.
Quick Tips
Wear long-sleeved clothing, sunglasses, and 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. Before using Melalite 15 Cream, inform your doctor if you have any skin problems or are applying any other medicines on your skin.
