Product introduction

Hyne Lotion is used in the treatment of melasma. It is a skin-lightening medicine that lightens the darkened skin patches and spots(hyperpigmentation). It reduces the amount of skin-darkening pigment called melanin in the skin. It helps in reversible depigmentation of the skin.

Hyne Lotion is for external use only. You should use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. You must wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying this medicine. This medicine should be used regularly to get the most benefit from it. Do not use more than you need as some side effects may be increased.

Hyne Lotion has a few potential side effects but not everyone will get them. These may include dry skin, itching, skin burn, skin peeling, and skin redness. Serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare but let your doctor know if you’re bothered by side effects or they do not go away. Make sure you read the instructions that come with your medicine. Avoid contact with eyes. In case of accidental contact, you should rinse your eyes thoroughly with water.

You can start applying Hyne Lotion to a small portion of unbroken skin or near the pigmented area for a period of several days for checking an allergic reaction. You should discontinue it if itching, excessive inflammation, or swelling occurs. Pregnant women should consult their doctor before taking this medicine. If no improvement is seen after two months of treatment, the use of this product should be discontinued.

Benefits of Hyne Lotion

In Melasma

Melasma is a common skin problem that causes dark, discolored patches on your skin. It is more commonly seen in females than males. Hyne Lotion helps to lighten these dark patches of the skin usually caused by pregnancy, birth control pills, hormone medicine, or injury to the skin. It effectively blocks that process in the skin that leads to discoloration. Hyne Lotion also reduces any redness, rash, pain, or itchiness that may be caused by this condition.
This improves your self-esteem and confidence as your appearance changes. You should always use it as prescribed and only apply the amount you have been told to. Keep using it for as long as it is prescribed to get the full benefits.

FAQs

Is Hyne Lotion safe to use on face?

Hyne Lotion should be used exactly as directed by your doctor. You should apply it away from the eyes, nose, corners of the mouth, or open wounds because these areas are more prone to irritation. If local irritation persists or becomes severe, discontinue Hyne Lotion and consult your doctor. Excessive use of the medication may cause redness, peeling, or discomfort.

Does Hyne Lotion permanently lighten skin?

No, it does not lighten the skin permanently. If melasma occurs on discontinuing Hyne Lotion, talk to your doctor regarding the maintenance treatment of melasma.

What should I avoid when using Hyne Lotion cream?

You should avoid exposure to sunlight, use sunscreen, and wear protective clothing after treatment with Hyne Lotion 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. Talk to your doctor about other birth control options. Be careful as hot and cold weather may irritate the skin treated with Hyne Lotion.

How should Hyne Lotion be applied?

Hyne Lotion should be applied once a day, before bedtime. The area to be treated should be thoroughly washed with water. Apply a thin layer of Hyne Lotion to the affected skin areas. Include about half an inch of normal skin surrounding the affected area. Gently rub Hyne Lotion evenly into your skin. Do not apply it near the corners of your mouth, nose, eyes, or open wounds.

Can I apply moisturizer over Hyne Lotion?

Hyne Lotion is applied generally at bedtime. You may use moisturizers and cosmetics during the day when you are not using Hyne Lotion.

Is Hyne Lotion bad for the skin?

Hyne Lotion may cause blue-black darkening of the skin. If this occurs, you should immediately stop Hyne Lotion and consult your doctor. In some cases, it may also cause mild to moderate irritation such as skin reddening, peeling, mild burning sensation, dryness, and itching at the site of application. But this is usually tolerable and may disappear with time.
