Melalite 15 Cream

What is Melalite 15 Cream?

A topical cream used to treat hyperpigmentation (dark patches on the skin). It helps lighten skin by reducing melanin deposits and provides sun protection.

Key Ingredients & How They Work

• Hydroquinone (15%): Lightens skin by reducing melanin production (reversible effect).

• Octinoxate & Benzophenone: UV filters that protect skin from sun damage.

Uses

• Treatment of melasma, age spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

• Brightens skin tone and prevents sun-induced darkening.

How to Use

• For external use only.

• Apply a thin layer on affected areas, as directed by your doctor.

• Wash hands before/after application (unless treating hands).

• Avoid contact with eyes, nose, mouth. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly.

Side Effects

• Common: Skin irritation, burning at the application site.

• Serious (rare): Severe redness, blistering, or blue-black darkening of skin. Discontinue and consult a doctor if these occur.

Safety Advice

• Pregnancy: Not recommended (potential risks based on animal studies). Consult a doctor.

• Breastfeeding: Likely safe, but confirm with your doctor.

• Sun Exposure: Use sunscreen alongside this cream for best results. Avoid excessive sun exposure.

Missed Dose?

• Apply as soon as remembered. Skip if close to the next dose. Do not double apply.

Important Notes

• Not for long-term use (risk of ochronosis—permanent darkening).

• Discontinue if no improvement after a few months.

• Patch test recommended before full application (check for allergies).
