Hi,

Melacare Cream contains Hydroquinone Topical, Mometasone Topical and Tretinoin Topical as active ingredients. It is used for skin lightening. However prolonged use can cause side effects. To stop using Melacare cream, you can use non-steroidal skin lightening creams daily at night and sunscreen during day.

After 6 months, you can stop using non-steroidal cream and continue to apply only sunscreen during day time on regular basis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ashakiran S,
