Medical Description

Skinshine cream is used to treat and prevent moderate to severe melasma (dark and discoloured patches on the skin) to lighten the skin tone or appearance and senile lentigines (dark spots or age spots in older people due to exposure to the sun). It is a topical preparation containing a combination of three medicines: Mometasone, Tretinoin, and Hydroquinone. Skinshine cream suppresses pigmentation's metabolic process, leading to scars or blemishes. This helps lighten the skin tone; however, the process is reversible.

Melasma causes brown patches to appear on the face, most prominently on the nose, cheeks, chin, and forehead. Changes in hormone levels during pregnancy and exposure to the sun can cause this condition, which is more likely to develop in women than in men.

Patients must avoid sun exposure immediately after applying the cream, as this will reverse the effect of the cream and will cause repigmentation. Do not use Skinshine cream for a prolonged duration unless prescribed by your dermatologist, as it contains a steroid. Eukroma plus, Melabest, Melacare cream and Clear skin are other medicines that combine the same Skinshine.

Skinshine cream is for external use only. Some application site reactions may occur as side effects, but they usually fade with time. Please report to your doctor if you notice the side effects persist or worsen.

Do not apply to open wounds or weeping areas. Before using, wash and dry the area gently. Apply a thin film to the affected area and rub it gently and thoroughly until the medication vanishes. Avoid direct sunlight or use sunblock or protective clothing to prevent repigmentation.
