Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic

Melas cream contains a triple combination of a potent steroid+hydroquinone+tretinoin. It should always be used on prescription of a dermatologist. Dermatologist use this combination for melasma and never for acne.

The potent steroid in it can itself cause more acne and other side effects like hirsutism, photsensitivity, skin thinning and atrophy etc
