• Avoid sun exposure, as it may be harmful after applying this cream.
• The treated area is becoming darker rather than lighter, or has developed a patchy blue-grey colour.

• Skinshine cream is meant for external use only.
• Use it as directed by your doctor.
• Apply the cream to healthy skin free from cuts and wounds.
• Wash your hands before and after using this cream unless you are treating your hands.

• It is usually applied at night. Clean and dry the skin first, and apply a thin film only to the pigmented patches.
• Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day and protect your skin with a hat, clothing or shade. Sun protection helps reduce the risk of worsening or recurring pigmentation.
• Use it only for the short, intermittent course your dermatologist prescribed. Do not continue it indefinitely or restart it on your own if pigmentation returns.
• 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.

• Store Skinshine cream at room temperature in a cool and dry place, protected from direct sunlight, moisture, and heat. Please keep it away from children and pets. Do not use expired medicines. Discard any unused medicine properly; do not flush it down the toilet or pour it down the drain.
• Keep the cap closed and the tube in its carton, 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.

• Use Skinshine Cream only as prescribed by your doctor, at the recommended dose, for the advised duration.

• Apply a thin layer to the affected area once daily, typically at night, unless your doctor instructs otherwise.
• Skinshine Cream is for external use only. Do not apply it near the eyes, inside the mouth, or on broken or irritated skin.

• Avoid applying other potentially irritating skin products immediately after applying the cream, unless your doctor has specifically approved them.
• This treats melasma, not as a fairness or skin-lightening cream. Using it that way causes thinning, visible blood vessels, and rebound darkening.
• Daily sun protection is an important part of treatment because sun exposure can worsen melasma and cause pigmentation to return.
• Expect the patches to return to some extent after you stop. Ask your dermatologist about a maintenance plan rather than restarting the cream yourself.
• If the treated area becomes darker or develops a patchy blue-grey colour, contact your dermatologist for assessment rather than applying more cream.
