SKINSILVER Cream - 20gm for Dark Spots, Dark Circle & Acne Marks ( Pack of 2 )

What Is It Used For?

• This cream is primarily used for short-term treatment of melasma, a skin condition characterized by dark brown patches on the face, as well as other hyperpigmentation issues like acne scars, freckles, and dark spots.

• It’s also applied for conditions such as acne marks and age spots, helping improve overall skin tone appearance.

How It Works: The Active Ingredients

1. Hydroquinone

• Acts as a skin-lightening agent by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase, which is critical for melanin production. This effectively helps fade dark patches over time.

• It’s considered the gold standard for treating hyperpigmentation, though usage is typically limited due to potency.

2. Tretinoin

• A derivative of Vitamin A, tretinoin accelerates skin cell turnover, exfoliates pigmented cells, and improves texture and tone.

• It also enhances hydroquinone's effectiveness by improving its penetration and stability.

3. Mometasone Furoate

• A potent corticosteroid that controls inflammation, reducing redness, swelling, and potential irritation from the other active ingredients.
  

Efficacy & Clinical Insight

• Clinical studies using a similar Kligman’s triple formulation (hydroquinone, tretinoin, and a corticosteroid) report significant improvement in melasma, especially when combined with glycolic acid peels.

  • Results: Over 50% improvement in pigmentation in 5 of 10 patients; >75% improvement in 2 patients.

How to Use It

• Apply once daily in the evening on clean, dry skin, avoiding broken or irritated areas.

• Use a thin layer, gently massaging until absorbed.

• Always follow a dermatologist's advice regarding duration—typically limited to 6–8 weeks to avoid side effects.

• Use sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) and protective clothing daily, as skin becomes more sensitive to UV exposure.
