• If you get pregnant while using this cream, stop right away and see a dermatologist or gynecologist.
• If you are breastfeeding, don't put it on your breasts, and only use it if your doctor tells you to.

Expert advice

• Apply only at night to avoid photosensitivity and lessen discomfort.
• Always use with sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.
• Only use it on pigmented spots, not all over your face.
• Do not use wax, chemical peels, scrubs, or laser treatments on the same area at the same time.
• Unless a dermatologist tells you to, don't use it for more than 6–8 weeks in a row.

Side effects
 

Normal:

• A little scorching or stinging

• Redness
• Peeling or dryness
• More sensitive to the sun
• Darkening for a short time before getting better
• Annoyance (particularly at first)

Not as common but still important:

• Thinning of the skin (if steroids are used too much)
• Hypopigmentation or an uneven tone
• Redness or swelling that lasts a long time
• Stretch marks (from long-term use of steroids)
• If you start to feel really irritated or have an allergic response, stop and talk to your doctor.

 How It Works

2% Hydroquinone

• Stops tyrosinase from making melanin, which lowers melanin levels.
• Brightens dark patches that are already there.

0.025% Tretinoin

• Removes old pigmented cells and speeds up the turnover of skin cells.
• Helps hydroquinone get deeper into the skin.
• Makes the texture better and helps it heal.

0.1% Mometasone Furoate

• A steroid that lowers redness, inflammation, itching, and irritation produced by pigmentation or other active substances.
• The combined effect:
• A strong combination with three actions that works faster than separate chemicals to lighten skin.

Medicines interaction

• Other retinoids, like isotretinoin and adapalene
• Acids like salicylic acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid, and benzoyl peroxide
• Skin care products, fragrances, and astringents that include alcohol
• Other topical steroid creams unless told otherwise
• Face scrubs or exfoliants with chemicals
• These combinations make it more likely that you may get burned, red, or irritated.
• Stay away from tanning beds and the sun as well; your skin will grow more sensitive to light.

How to Use

• Gently clean and dry the region that is hurt.
• Once a night, put on a very thin coating of the cream.
• Only use on dark spots, not on the whole face.
• After using, wash your hands.
• Wash your face and put on moisturizer and sunscreen in the morning.
• Do not use on skin that is damaged, infected, or irritated.
• Don't get it in your eyes, lips, or nose.
• Follow the dermatologist's advice on how long to do it (typically 6–8 weeks).
