Description
Uses:
Melanorm Cream is prescribed for:
-
Melasma (patchy brown discoloration on the face)
-
Dark spots and freckles caused by sun exposure or acne
-
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation

Improving overall skin tone and reducing pigmentation irregularities
How It Works:
Hydroquinone inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase, which is essential for melanin synthesis in the skin. By reducing melanin production, it gradually lightens dark patches and evens out skin tone.

Clean and dry the affected area before application.
-
Apply a thin layer of Melanorm Cream once or twice daily, or as directed by your dermatologist.
-
Massage gently until fully absorbed.
-

Apply once or twice daily for 4–8 weeks or as directed by your dermatologist. Duration may vary based on response and skin type.

Mild redness, itching, or burning
