How Retop Lite Cream works
Retop Lite Cream is a combination of three medicines: Hydroquinone, Tretinoin and Fluocinolone acetonide which treat 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. Tretinoin is a form of vitamin A that helps the skin to renew itself more quickly. Fluocinolone acetonide is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy.

Patient concerns
I applied Retop- A (0.025%) gel on my cheeks, nose and chin for curing dark spots due to acne. I had applied it for 3 continuous nights. Now I am experiencing peeling and redness of my cheeks (dryness). What should I do? Did this happen due to concentrated application of the gel in the area?
