Lumacip Plus Cream is primarily used to treat melasma (dark brown patches on the skin). Melasma, also known as chloasma, is a common skin condition that causes brown patches on the face.

Lumacip Plus Cream contains Fluocinolone acetonide, Hydroquinone and Tretinoin. Fluocinolone acetonide blocks the production of certain chemical messengers that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. Hydroquinone decreases the amount of melanin (a skin pigment) that is responsible for the darkening of the skin. Tretinoin increases the renewal of skin cells, which helps in the natural exfoliation of the skin’s outer layers.

Some people may experience application site reactions (burning, irritation, itching, and redness). Most of these side effects of Lumacip Plus Cream do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
