Melalong Ad Cream 15 gm is a cosmeceutical and dermatological cream. It contains Mequinol and Tretinoin. Melalong Ad Cream 15 gm is used to treat pigmentation of various kinds, including unsightly spots that appear due to age and/or sun exposure. Melanin is the normal skin pigment. In high concentrations, it produces pigmentation. Mequinol suppresses melanin production by inhibiting its parent enzyme tyrosinase and also by preventing the development of melanin-producing cells, thereby nipping the production of melanin in the bud. Tretinoin is a form of Vitamin A. It essentially regulates the turnover of cells and causes the older layers of skin to divide more rapidly and die, clearing them away. Melalong Ad Cream 15 gm hence is very effective in lightening pigmented skin and preventing blackheads, whiteheads and pimples from being formed. In addition, tretinoin also aids the formation of the precursors of collagen (major skin protein), thereby enhancing skin appearance and health.

Solar lentigines: Solar lentigines are localised, pigmented spots where skin colour appears uneven due to the formation of patches because of an excessive concentration of melanin due to unprotected exposure to the sun. This is a harmless condition and varies from age spots to sunspots. It is commonly seen on the face, hands, shoulders and arms. 

Acne: Acne is a skin condition in which pores of the skin get blocked or clogged by sebum, leading to the appearance of whiteheads, blackheads, pimples and greasy skin. It is caused by a bacterium called Propionibacterium acnes.
