How Belina Gel works
Belina Gel is a combination of five medicines: Hydroquinone, Sodium Hyaluronate, Glycolic acid, Kojic Acid, and Lactic Acid. Hydroquinone and Kojic acid are skin lightening medications. They work by reducing the amount of pigment (melanin) that causes the darkening of skin. Sodium Hyaluronate helps in enhancing the appearance of dry and damaged skin by reducing flaking. Lactic Acid helps to moisten dry skin. Glycolic acid works by removing the outermost layer of dead cells and provides you fresh skin.
