About Melacare Cream

Melacare Cream is used to treat melasma. Melasma is a common skin condition that causes dark brown patches on the face, often triggered by sun exposure or hormonal changes.

Melacare Cream contains Hydroquinone, Mometasone, and Tretinoin, which work together to reduce the amount of melanin (a natural pigment responsible for skin darkening), block the release of certain chemicals that cause inflammation, increase the renewal of skin cells, and exfoliate the outer layers of the skin.

Melacare Cream is only for external use. Apply it exactly as prescribed by your doctor or as instructed on the label. In some cases, Melacare Cream may cause common side effects, including skin pain, acne (pimples), redness, irritation, itching, or a burning or stinging sensation. Please consult your doctor if these side effects persist or worsen.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to Melacare Cream or have other skin conditions or allergies. Consult your doctor before using Melacare Cream if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Melacare Cream is not recommended for children below 12 years of age. Do not apply Melacare Cream to ulcerated skin or wounds. Avoid sun exposure while using Melacare Cream, as it may increase skin sensitivity to sunlight and cause sunburn.

Usage & Safety

Health Queries

I stopped using Melacare Cream, and now I’m experiencing redness and irritation on my face. What should I do?

Bayyarapu Mahesh Kumar

M Pharmacy

Melacare Cream contains potent prescription ingredients, including hydroquinone, tretinoin, and a topical corticosteroid, and stopping it suddenly may sometimes lead to rebound redness, irritation, or increased sensitivity. The safest approach is to consult a dermatologist before restarting or discontinuing the cream, as they can advise on tapering, switching to gentler alternatives, or using supportive care. In the meantime, a simple skincare routine with a mild fragrance‑free cleanser, a gentle moisturiser, and daily sunscreen may help reduce discomfort.

I have had black marks on my face and nose for five to six years despite using Melacare Cream and Eukroma Plus Cream. What is the correct treatment?

Dr. S Aneela

M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD

Long-term use of potent steroid-based creams like Melacare and Eukroma Plus can damage the skin and may not fully treat dark marks. You should stop using these creams and consult a dermatologist, who may recommend safer and more effective treatment options such as chemical peels, laser therapy, or non-steroidal creams like kojic acid, niacinamide, or azelaic acid. Always apply sunscreen daily to prevent the marks from getting darker.

I have had melasma on my face for the past year and have been using Melacare Cream. Is this the correct treatment for me?

Dr. S Aneela

M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD

Melacare Cream may help reduce melasma (dark brown patches on the skin) in the short term. However, it should not be used continuously for long periods without medical supervision, as it contains a steroid (mometasone) and a bleaching agent (hydroquinone) that may cause skin thinning or permanent discolouration. You should consult your doctor or a dermatologist to see if a safer, long-term alternative or a high-factor sunscreen is more appropriate for your skin type.

I have dark patches on my face and would like recommendations for the best skin-lightening medication. I have already consulted another dermatologist and attached their prescription.

Dr. S Aneela

M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD

Dark patches are commonly treated with topical creams such as hydroquinone, tretinoin, or azelaic acid, along with daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen. Avoid long-term use of steroid-containing creams unless advised by a dermatologist, as they may worsen pigmentation. Follow your prescribed treatment consistently and protect your skin from sunlight for the best results.

I am using Melacare Cream to maintain a fair complexion. Is this a suitable choice? If not, what would be an appropriate alternative?

Dr. S Aneela

M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD

Melacare Cream is intended for treating specific skin conditions, such as melasma, not for maintaining a fair complexion, and prolonged use may cause skin thinning and other side effects. You should consult a doctor or dermatologist to find safer alternatives, such as niacinamide or vitamin C, and always use a high-factor SPF 50 sunscreen to prevent further darkening.

Directions for Use

Melacare Cream is for external use (face) only.
Apply once at night, or as advised by your doctor, for optimal effectiveness.
Wash the face with mild soap and pat the skin dry. Take a small amount of Melacare Cream on a fingertip and apply it to the clean and dry affected area.
Avoid contact of Melacare Cream with nose, mouth, or eyes. If Melacare Cream comes into contact with these areas accidentally, rinse thoroughly with water.

Key Benefits

Melacare Cream provides the following medicinal benefits:

Regular use helps reduce dark brown patches associated with melasma.
Lightens areas of excess pigmentation by lowering the amount of melanin (a natural skin pigment).
Promotes faster renewal of skin cells and naturally exfoliates the skin’s outer layer, helping fade discolouration over time.
Helps moisturise the skin and prevent dryness, making it appear smoother.
Helps relieve redness, swelling, and itching linked to skin inflammation.
Minimises the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles, promoting a youthful, firm appearance.
Protects the skin against environmental damage, including pollution and UV rays, helping maintain its vitality and health.

How Melacare Cream Works

Melacare Cream contains three medicines: Hydroquinone, Mometasone, and Tretinoin. • Hydroquinone: It is a skin lightening or bleaching agent that works by decreasing the amount of melanin (a natural skin pigment) that is responsible for the darkening of the skin. • Mometasone: It is a corticosteroid that works by acting inside skin cells and inhibiting the release of certain chemicals in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. • Tretinoin: It is a retinoid (a man-made form of vitamin A) that works by increasing the renewal of skin cells, which helps in the natural exfoliation of the skin.
