Description
Demelan cream is used to treat dark spots and uneven skin tone caused by conditions such as melasma, age spots (senile lentigines), and other forms of pigmentation issues. It contains three active ingredients: kojic acid, arbutin, and glycolic acid, which work together to lighten discoloured skin areas and improve overall skin texture and tone. This cream helps make the skin appear brighter and more even over time.
It is generally safe for most people when used as directed by a doctor. However, it’s important not to use Demelan cream for longer than prescribed. After applying it, avoid direct sun exposure to prevent skin irritation or worsening of pigmentation. This cream is for external use only and should never be ingested.
Some people may experience mild side effects, such as dry skin, redness, itching, or a slight burning sensation where the cream is applied. To prevent irritation, avoid using it on sensitive areas such as around the eyes, nose, or mouth. If the side effects become bothersome or severe, discontinue use of the cream and consult your doctor.
If you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, you should speak with your doctor before using Demelan cream. Also, let your doctor know if you are using any other creams or skin treatments, as combining products may increase the risk of skin irritation. Always follow your doctor’s instructions to get the best results safely.

Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
Demelan cream helps lighten dark spots and uneven skin tone by reducing the skin’s melanin (pigment) production. It contains glycolic acid, kojic acid, and arbutin, which gently exfoliate the skin, block excess pigment, and fade dark patches over time. Regular use, combined with sunscreen, can help the skin appear clearer and more evenly toned....
