Uses of Melalite Cream
Benefits of Melalite Cream
In Treatment of Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation means abnormal darkening of skin, usually in patches. It occurs when an excess of melanin, the brown pigment that produces normal skin color, forms deposits in the skin. Melalite 15 Cream reduces these melanin deposits, lightens skin tone and helps restore normal color of the skin. It also helps to protect the skin from damage by ultraviolet rays of the sun and prevents sunburns.
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.

How Melalite Cream works
Melalite 15 Cream is a combination of three medicines: Hydroquinone, Octinoxate, and Benzophenone. Hydroquinone is a skin lightening medicine. It reduces the amount of a skin pigment (melanin) that causes darkening of skin. This effect is reversible. Octinoxate and Benzophenone are organic compounds which work by absorbing ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun, protecting the skin from damage.
