Elosone-HT Cream is a prescription medicine used to treat moderate to severe facial melasma, the brown or greyish patches that appear on the cheeks, forehead, nose, and upper lip. It contains mometasone, a steroid that reduces inflammation, tretinoin, which speeds up skin cell turnover, and hydroquinone, which reduces pigmentation.
Use Elosone-HT Cream exactly as your dermatologist prescribes, and avoid prolonged use because the steroid content can thin the skin or cause other side effects. Apply a thin layer only to affected areas, and avoid contact with the eyes.
This is a doctor-supervised, intermittent course and not for continuous use or general skin lightening. Continuous use can thin the skin, make small blood vessels visible, cause steroid-induced acne, increase facial hair, and cause irritation or worsening pigmentation.
Always wash your hands before and after application to prevent accidental spread to other areas. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, wear a hat, and seek shade to help prevent pigmentation from returning. Because melasma often recurs after treatment, continue sun protection afterward.
Do not use Elosone-HT Cream on broken or irritated skin unless instructed by your doctor. Tell your dermatologist about any other medications or skin treatments you use to avoid potential interactions.
Regular follow-ups with your dermatologist are recommended to monitor your skin's response and adjust treatment as needed for safe, effective results.
Apply it at night or as your doctor recommends, because light breaks down tretinoin and makes your skin more sensitive to the sun. Mild stinging, redness, and peeling are expected initially. Report severe burning, raw skin, or worsening darkening.
Uses
Contraindications
- If you are allergic to mometasone, tretinoin, hydroquinone, or any of the ingredients of Elosone HT Cream.

- If you have a viral or fungal infection of the skin,or ulcers or open wounds in the area to be treated.
- Avoid excessive sun exposure during treatment. If you cannot reliably protect the treated skin from sunlight, discuss this with your dermatologist.
- If you have a skin tumour or a family history of skin tumours.
- If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant.
- Do not use it in or near the eyes, on the lips, or on any internal or mucous surface.
Side effects
- Burning or stinging on application
- Redness and dryness
- Itching
- Light peeling or flaking
- Increased sensitivity of the treated skin to sunlight
- Thinning of the skin, making it fragile and easily bruised

Precautions and Warnings
Alcohol
SAFESafe No specific interaction with alcohol is expected when this cream is used as directed.
Pregnancy
WITH CAUTIONWith Caution As there is limited information available about the effect of Elosone HT cream during pregnancy, it is recommended to avoid using this cream during pregnancy unless advised by your doctor.
Breastfeeding
WITH CAUTIONWith Caution It is unknown if the components of Elosone HT cream pass into breast milk, and there is no established safety information in breastfeeding women. Therefore, it is not recommended to use it while breastfeeding unless recommended by your doctor.
Driving
SAFESafe Elosone HT cream is unlikely to affect the ability to drive and operate machinery.
Other General Warnings
- You have a history of allergic reactions to topical creams.
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You think rashes or infections have developed on the skin after using this medicine.
- Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, or nose. If it occurs, wipe or wash it off immediately.
- The treated area is becoming darker rather than lighter, or has developed a patchy blue-grey colour.
- You have been using the cream longer than your dermatologist advised, or you have restarted it repeatedly.
- You notice thinning skin, visible small blood vessels, new spots around the mouth, or increased facial hair.
Liver
WITH CAUTIONOnly a small amount is absorbed when applied thinly to the face, so liver disease is usually not a concern. Tell your dermatologist about any liver condition before starting treatment.
Kidney
WITH CAUTIONOnly a small amount is absorbed when applied thinly to the face, so kidney disease is usually not a concern. Tell your dermatologist about any kidney condition and about all the medicines you take before starting treatment.
Children
UNSAFENo, unless a dermatologist specifically prescribes it after assessing the child. A child's skin may be more susceptible to the effects of topical steroids, and prolonged use can cause side effects. Pigmentation in children should be assessed to confirm the cause before treatment.
Geriatrics
WITH CAUTIONYes, but extra care is needed. Skin naturally thins with age, and steroids can make it thinner more quickly, increasing the likelihood of visible blood vessels and bruising.
Allergy
CONTRAINDICATEDDo not use this product if you have ever had a reaction to hydroquinone, tretinoin, mometasone, or any other ingredient. Stop using it and seek help immediately if you develop swelling of the face, lips, or throat, difficulty breathing, or a widespread rash. Tell your dermatologist if you have eczema, rosacea, or very sensitive skin, as this combination may not be suitable for you.
Heart
WITH CAUTIONA heart condition alone is generally not a reason to avoid this cream when used as directed. Tell your dermatologist about your medical conditions and medicines before starting treatment.
Directions for use
- Use this medicine as directed by your doctor.
- Apply it to healthy skin. Avoid applying on cuts and wounds.
- Wash your hands before and after using this medicine unless your hands are the area to be treated.
- If this cream comes into contact with your eyes, rinse them with clean water immediately.
- Apply it at night, to the pigmented patches only, on clean dry skin. Use a thin film.
- Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning, and wear a hat or seek shade. Sun protection is part of the treatment.
- Use it for the short, intermittent course your dermatologist set. Do not continue it indefinitely, and do not restart it on your own when the patches return.
- Do not cover the treated area with a dressing or film, and do not use it under a bandage.
- Keep it away from the eyelids, the corners of the nose and the lips, where the skin is thinnest.
- Do not use it with facial scrubs, peels, bleaching products or hair removal creams on the same area, and avoid waxing the treated skin.
Storage and disposal
- Store Elosone HT cream in the original container in a clean, dry place, protected from moisture, sunlight, and heat.
- Keep the medicine out of reach of children and pets.
- Do not freeze.
- Keep the cap closed, as light and air degrade both tretinoin and hydroquinone. If the cream has turned brown or changed in appearance, do not use it.
- Do not share the tube, and do not keep a part-used tube to restart treatment later without speaking to your dermatologist.
