How it works
Skinbrite 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
Skinbrite Cream is used for the short-term treatment of mild to moderate melasma. It helps reduce scars, marks, blemishes, and dark circles under the eyes. It should always be used along with sun-avoidance measures like using sunscreens and wearing protective clothing. Initial improvement may be seen in just 2 weeks, full results generally appear after 2-3 months of regular use. 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.
