Hi. Thanks for posting your query.

Melacare cream contains Mometasone, tretinoin and hydroquinone. Its main use is in treatment of Melasma.

It should not be used for fainess.

Though it might improve your complexion initially but in a longer run if you continue using it will cause acne, photosensitivity, sensitive skin, facial hair etc

I would advice that you visit a dermatologist for a proper discussion regarding your concern. Your dermatologist might ask you to apply another cream like the one containing kojic acid or glycolic acid since they are safer even if used over a longer peroid

You can use a broad spectrum sunscreen daily throughout the day. It will prevent tanning of skin that normally occurs due to sun exposure.


take care
regards
