About Welllight Cream
Welllight 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.
Welllight 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.
Welllight Cream is only for external use. Apply it exactly as prescribed by your doctor or as instructed on the label. In some cases, Welllight 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 Welllight Cream or have other skin conditions or allergies. Consult your doctor before using Welllight Cream if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Welllight Cream is not recommended for children below 12 years of age. Do not apply Welllight Cream to ulcerated skin or wounds. Avoid sun exposure while using Welllight Cream, as it may increase skin sensitivity to sunlight and cause sunburn.

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.
