Skinlite Cream 10 gm is used to treat melasma (dark brown patch on skin). It works by decreasing the amount of melanin (a skin pigment) that is responsible for the darkening of the skin. Also, it works by acting inside skin cells and inhibiting the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. It increases the renewal of skin cells, which helps in the natural exfoliation of the skin's outer layers. Some people may experience skin pain, acne, redness, irritation, burning, itching, or stinging sensation of the skin. Do not apply on cut, open wound, or burned skin area.

Mometasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids that work by acting inside skin cells and inhibiting the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling.

Medicinal Benefits

Skinlite Cream 10 gm is a combination of three drugs: Hydroquinone, Mometasone, and Tretinoin. Hydroquinone belongs to the class of skin-lightening agents that work 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. When the skin reacts to any allergens, such chemicals are released normally. Tretinoin belongs to the class of retinoids (man-made vitamin A) that works by increasing the renewal of skin cells, which helps in the natural exfoliation of the skin’s outer layers. Also, tretinoin loosens the cells on the skin’s surface and unblocks pores by reducing the production of oil in the skin. Thus, it decreases pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads.
