How Melasma Cream 15g 4% works
Hydroquinone blocks tyrosinase, an enzyme that skin cells need to make melanin, the pigment that gives skin its colour. With less new melanin being produced, darkened patches slowly fade as the skin naturally renews itself.
Possible side effects
Most people use this product without problems. Some may notice:
- Redness
- Stinging or burning
- Dryness or peeling
Precautions
- Use a sunscreen during the day, as sun exposure can bring the dark patches back. Do not use it for longer than your doctor advises.
- Do a small patch test first, and keep it away from the eyes, lips, inside of the nose and broken skin unless your doctor says otherwise.
- Stop using it and see your doctor if you notice severe redness, swelling, blistering or a rash.
- Ask your doctor or pharmacist before using it on children, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Keep out of reach of children and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
