Product introduction

Skinbrite Cream is a dermatological medicine used for the short-term, intermittent treatment of moderate to severe melasma of the face. It works by reducing excess melanin formation and improving skin turnover, helping lighten dark facial patches.

Skinbrite Cream is for external use only. Skinbrite Cream should be used in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Wash your hands before using this medicine. It is advised to check the label for directions before use. Do not use this medicine more than the recommended dose.


The common side effects of this medicine include dryness, redness, and a stinging sensation at the application site. If these side effects or any other symptoms that you think are because of this medicine persist for a longer duration, consult your doctor.


Skinbrite Cream should be used only under medical supervision and for short-term, intermittent treatment. It is meant for external use on the face only and should not come into contact with the eyes, mouth, or mucous membranes. Sun exposure or UV light should be strictly avoided during treatment, as this can cause repigmentation of treated areas. Use sunscreen regularly.


Its safety has not been established in pregnancy or in children below 12 years, and caution is advised in breastfeeding women. Treatment should be stopped if severe irritation, hypersensitivity, or worsening of skin symptoms occur.

Benefits of Skinbrite Cream

In Treatment of Melasma

Melasma is a condition that causes dark patches on the face, commonly associated with sun exposure and hormonal factors. Skinbrite Cream helps improve melasma by reducing excess melanin formation and supporting skin cell turnover, which allows dark patches to fade more evenly. When used for short-term, intermittent treatment under medical supervision and combined with proper sun protection, it helps improve the appearance of facial melasma.

Side effects of Skinbrite Cream

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

Common side effects of Skinbrite

  • Application site reactions (burning, irritation, itching and redness)

How to use Skinbrite Cream

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the cream. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.

How Skinbrite Cream works

Skinbrite Cream is a combination of three medicines: Hydroquinone, Mometasone, and Tretinoin—used for the treatment of melasma of the face. Hydroquinone reduces excess melanin formation in the skin, which helps lighten dark patches. Mometasone is a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation, redness, and irritation associated with treatment. Tretinoin is a vitamin A derivative that promotes skin cell turnover, helping melanin to disperse more evenly. Together, these actions help improve the appearance of melasma when used for short-term, intermittent treatment under medical supervision.
