Facicare Cream is used to treat melasma (dark brown patches on skin).
Facicare Cream contains Hydroquinone, Mometasone and Tretinoin. Hydroquinone is a skin-lightening agent that works by decreasing the amount of melanin (a skin pigment) that is responsible for the darkening of the skin. Mometasone is a corticosteroid that acts inside skin cells and inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching and swelling. Tretinoin belongs to the class of retinoids (synthetic vitamin A) and works by increasing the renewal of skin cells, which helps with the natural exfoliation of the skin's outer layers.
Yes, Facicare Cream may increase the skin sensitivity to sunlight in the treated areas. Therefore, avoid or limit exposure to sunlight and sunlamps. You are advised to use sunscreen and wear protective clothing when outdoors to prevent sunburn.
Yes, Facicare Cream may cause skin irritation, burning sensation or itching at the site of application in rare cases. However, if the irritation persists or worsens, discontinue use of Facicare Cream and consult a physician.
You are advised to use a moisturiser in the morning every day to restore the skin's barrier function, which protects it from damage. Facicare Cream may make the skin more sensitive to extreme weather conditions such as cold and wind. Therefore, wear protective clothing and use moisturiser as required. However, please consult a doctor before using moisturising lotions or any other products with Facicare Cream.
No, Facicare Cream is not used to treat diaper rash. Using Facicare Cream under the child’s nappy enables it to pass through the skin easily and cause adverse effects. However, please consult a doctor before using Facicare Cream in children.
It is not recommended to use Facicare Cream with benzoyl peroxide, hydrogen peroxide, or other peroxide products, as it may cause skin staining, which is usually removable with soap and water. However, please consult a doctor before using other medicines with Facicare Cream.
Use Facicare Cream for as long as your doctor has prescribed it. However, avoid using Facicare Cream for more than 6 to 8 weeks without a doctor’s advice.
Hormonal contraceptives like oral/vaginal birth control pills, injections, implants, skin patches, and vaginal rings can cause melasma to get worse. So, it is advisable to ask your doctor about using non-hormonal birth control (condom, diaphragm with spermicide) instead.
Use Facicare Cream as directed by the physician. Clean and dry the affected area. Apply Facicare Cream onto the affected areas of the skin.
Avoid contact of Facicare Cream with nose, mouth, eyes, ears or vagina. In case Facicare Cream comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Do not use it on ulcerated skin or wounds.
Melasma is a skin condition that causes brown patches on the face. The discoloured (grey-brown) patches occur mostly on the forehead, chin, nose, and cheeks.
Melasma may be caused by sun exposure, hormone therapy, pregnancy, birth control pills, thyroid, or even stress.
No, Facicare Cream should not be used for acne and pimples, as it is used to treat melasma.
Yes, Facicare Cream is good for the face to treat melasma.
Store Facicare Cream at room temperature, in a dry place. Keep out of sight and reach of children.
No, using more than the prescribed dose of Facicare Cream will not be more effective. Do not exceed the recommended dose, as it does not yield faster or better results and increases the risk of side effects.
Consult your doctor before using any other skincare products with Facicare Cream. Inform the doctor if you are using photosensitising agents, topical antibiotics, retinoids, vitiligo medications, antiseptics, or keratolytic agents.
The possible side effects of Facicare Cream are acne, redness, irritation, burning, itching, or a stinging sensation of the skin. Most of these side effects of Facicare Cream do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
It is highly recommended to apply Facicare Cream only at night. Some of the active ingredients make your skin extremely sensitive to sunlight, which can increase the risk of sunburn and make your dark spots worse. Talk to your doctor for specific advice.
Some people may notice early improvement after 4 to 8 weeks of regular use. However, the full benefit of this combination treatment for conditions such as melasma is usually seen after around 8 to 12 weeks. Do not continue using this cream longer than prescribed by your doctor, as prolonged use may increase the risk of side effects.
Mild peeling, redness, and dryness are common when you first start using Facicare Cream. If the peeling is mild, you can apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser during the day. If the peeling is severe, painful, or accompanied by swelling, stop using the cream and talk to your doctor.
Yes, you can use makeup, but you should wait at least 10 to 15 minutes after applying Facicare Cream to let the cream absorb fully into your skin. Choose non-comedogenic and gentle cosmetics to avoid irritating your skin further. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist for product recommendations.
No. Facicare Cream should generally not be used during pregnancy unless specifically advised by your doctor. Tretinoin is a retinoid, and hydroquinone and other ingredients may also require caution during pregnancy. If you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using this medicine.
Facicare Cream is primarily prescribed for melasma and dark pigmentation patches. While it can help fade the dark marks left behind after acne heals, it should not be applied to active acne breakouts or open pimples.
If the cream in the tube changes colour to dark brown, it usually means the active ingredients have oxidised and lost their effectiveness. Stop using the cream and consult your pharmacist to get a replacement tube.
Yes, you can generally stop using Facicare Cream once your spots have faded or when your treatment course is complete. However, your hyperpigmentation can return if you do not protect your skin from the sun. Talk to your doctor about a long-term maintenance skin care routine to keep your skin even-toned.
