How it works

Melanorm-F Cream is a combination of three medicines: Hydroquinone, Tretinoin, and Fluocinolone acetonide which treat melasma (dark spots on skin). Hydroquinone is a skin lightening medicine that reduces the amount of a skin pigment (melanin) that causes darkening of skin. Tretinoin is a form of vitamin A that helps the skin to renew itself more quickly. Fluocinolone acetonide is a steroid that blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy.
