About Melacare: Melacare Cream (Hydroquinone/Tretinoin/Mometasone Furoate) is cream for topical use to treat inflammatory skin diseases like eczema and dermatitis. It produces a gradual bleaching effect to manage diseases that cause hyper pigmentation including melasma, freckles and senile lentigines. It has three active ingredients; hydroquinone-2%, tretinoin -0.025% and mometasome furoate-0.1%. Hydroquinone depigments the skin by inhibiting synthesis of melanin. Tretinoin, a form of Vitamin A, belongs to the retinoids class of drugs which help in rejuvenating the skin and treating acne vulgaris. Mometasome furoate, on the other hand, reduces inflammation and allergic reactions of the skin and airways by limiting production of the causal substances.
