Asked by Female, 24 · 10 days ago
Hyperpigmentation following tretinoin use can occur due to irritation or post‑inflammatory changes, especially in sensitive skin. While Melaglow Rich Cream is formulated for pigmentation concerns, introducing it without medical supervision may aggravate sensitivity or fail to address the underlying cause. The priority is to determine whether the pigmentation is truly post‑inflammatory or related to another condition. I would advise you to consult a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and tailored management plan. Treatment may involve prescription creams, strict sun protection, and supportive skincare, but the exact regimen must be individualised. Self‑medication is not recommended.

Melaglow Rich Cream contains ingredients like arbutin, licorice extract, niacinamide, and pTeroWhite, which are known to help reduce hyperpigmentation and even out skin tone, making it potentially suitable for your post-tretinoin hyperpigmentation.
🩺 Skin Suitability and Considerations
- The cream’s ingredients are generally beneficial for hyperpigmentation and have antioxidant properties.
- Since you have oily and sensitive skin, patch testing the cream on a small area first is important to check for any irritation or worsening sensitivity.
- Avoid using it simultaneously with tretinoin without professional advice, as combining active ingredients can sometimes increase irritation.
🩺 Recommendations
- Use the cream as directed, preferably after consulting a dermatologist who can tailor treatment for your oily, sensitive skin and post-tretinoin pigmentation.
- Protect your skin daily with a broad-spectrum sunscreen to prevent further pigmentation.
- Monitor your skin’s response closely and discontinue if irritation or worsening occurs.
Consult a dermatologist for personalized advice and to ensure this cream fits safely into your skincare routine.
