How Skinlite Cream works:
Melasma, characterized by dark patches on the skin, responds to Skinlite Cream, a triple-action formula. Its components—hydroquinone, mometasone, and tretinoin—work synergistically. Hydroquinone, a depigmenting agent, lessens melanin production, thus reducing skin discoloration; this effect is temporary. Mometasone, a corticosteroid, suppresses inflammatory prostaglandins, mitigating redness, swelling, and itching. Finally, tretinoin, a retinoid (vitamin A derivative), accelerates skin cell turnover for improved texture and tone.
