Melasma is a common skin problem that causes dark, discolored patches on your skin primarily on the face. It frequently occurs during pregnancy and menopause. Melalite Plus Cream helps to lighten these dark patches by reducing the production of melanin (natural skin pigment). It lightens skin color and gives a smoother-looking skin. Melalite Plus Cream also reduces any swelling, redness and itchiness especially if you have a sensitive skin. This helps boost your self-esteem and confidence as your appearance changes. Keep using it for as long as it is prescribed to get the full benefits.

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