Uses
Skin Lite comes with highly positive reviews and is a recommended treatment for Melasma.
Melasma is a common skin condition that develops dark, discolored areas of skin, particularly on the face.
It is common during pregnancy and menopause.
Skin Lite lightens these dark areas by lowering Melanin synthesis (natural skin pigment). It lightens the skin's hue and provides it with a smoother appearance.
The cream also lowers swelling, redness, and irritation, which is very beneficial if you have sensitive skin.
As your look changes, this helps to increase your self-esteem and confidence.
It would help if you used the cream for the prescribed duration to reap the benefits of the cream.
Working of Skin Lite
Skin Lite is a Melasma treatment that combines three medications: Hydroquinone, Tretinoin, and Mometasone.
Hydroquinone is a skin-whitening medication. It decreases the quantity of Melanin, a skin pigment that causes skin darkening.
Tretinoin is a kind of vitamin A that promotes faster skin renewal.
Mometasone is a member of the Corticosteroid drug class that suppresses the production of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause swelling, itching, and redness.
Together, all three ingredients lighten the dark spots caused by Melasma and treat the redness and itching in the affected area.

You should strictly follow your doctor's instructions to use the Melasma cream.
- Wash and dry the affected area

- Wash your hands thoroughly after using the cream unless they are the affected area
Missed dose
