How Metacortil-Lite Cream works:

Melasma (dark patches on the skin) responds to Metacortil-Lite Cream, a triple-action formula. Hydroquinone, a melanin inhibitor, lightens skin by decreasing the production of this pigment responsible for discoloration; this effect is temporary. The steroid, Mometasone, counteracts inflammation by suppressing prostaglandins, reducing redness, swelling, and itching. Finally, Tretinoin, a retinoid (vitamin A derivative), accelerates skin cell turnover for improved skin renewal.

What if you forget to take Metacortil-Lite Cream :
