In Melasma

Melasma is a common skin problem that causes dark, discolored patches on your skin primarily on the face. It frequently occurs during pregnancy and menopause. Depiluk Cream helps to lighten these dark patches by reducing the production of melanin (natural skin pigment). Depiluk Cream lightens skin color and gives an additional glow. It also helps reduce signs of aging like wrinkles and dark spots. This helps boost your self-esteem and confidence as your appearance changes. Keep using it for as long as it is prescribed to get the full benefits.
