FAQs
Q. Is Adoclear HQ Cream safe to use on face?
Adoclear HQ Cream should be used exactly as directed by your doctor.

You should avoid exposure to sunlight, use sunscreen, and wear protective clothing after treatment with Adoclear HQ Cream cream. Even a small amount of sunlight can worsen melasma. Females should avoid the use of birth control methods that contain hormones such as oral birth control pills as these methods can worsen your melasma.
