About Melapik-HQ Cream

Melapik-HQ Cream treats melasma and hyperpigmentation. Hyperpigmentation is a skin condition in which patches of skin become darker in colour than the normal surrounding skin. Melasma is a common skin problem that causes dark, discoloured patches on your skin.

Melapik-HQ Cream contains Hydroquinone, which decreases the amount of melanin (a skin pigment) responsible for darkening the skin.

Common side effects of Melapik-HQ Cream include dry skin, redness, burning sensation, mild itching, and skin irritation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your physician.

Avoid using Melapik-HQ Cream if allergic to any of its components. Melapik-HQ Cream can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight; hence, always use sunscreen and protective clothing before you step outdoors. Let your doctor know if you are pregnant, planning to conceive, or breastfeeding.
