In Treatment of Melasma
Melasma is a common skin problem that causes dark, discolored patches on your skin. It is more commonly seen in females than males.

It effectively blocks that process in the skin that leads to discoloration. Culite Cream also reduces any redness, rash, pain or itchiness that may be caused in this condition.

How Culite Cream works
Culite Cream is a combination of three medicines: Hydroquinone, Mometasone and Tretinoin, which treats melasma (dark spots on skin). Hydroquinone is a skin lightening medicine. It reduces the amount of a skin pigment (melanin) that causes darkening of skin. This effect is reversible. Mometasone is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Tretinoin is a form of vitamin A that helps the skin to renew itself more quickly.
