This unique formulation combines the power of three active ingredients: tretinoin, hydrocortisone, and hydroquinone, each with its own distinct benefits.

Tretinoin, a type of retinoid, is known for its ability to diminish the appearance of wrinkles, acne, and other signs of aging. Hydrocortisone, a corticosteroid, is effective in reducing inflammation and itching, providing relief for irritated skin.

It is also beneficial in reducing the appearance of wrinkles, age spots, and other signs of aging. The cream is a semisolid preparation dispensed in a pump mechanism, designed for convenient and controlled application on the skin. This ensures localized treatment or absorption of the active ingredients, maximizing their effectiveness.

As with all medications, this formulation should be applied topically to the affected area as directed by a healthcare provider. It is important to follow the prescribed instructions to achieve the best possible results.

This unique combination of active ingredients works synergistically to address multiple skin concerns.

Tretinoin, a type of retinoid, is known for its ability to diminish the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots. It promotes cell turnover, helping to unclog pores and make the skin smoother and brighter.

Hydrocortisone, an anti-inflammatory steroid, is incorporated into the formulation to alleviate redness and swelling associated with acne and other skin conditions. It works by reducing inflammation and suppressing the immune response, providing relief from itching and irritation.

Hydroquinone, a potent skin-lightening agent, is included to help reduce the appearance of dark spots and discoloration. It works by decreasing the production and increasing the breakdown of melanin pigments in the skin, thereby lightening the skin.

This topical cream is dispensed in a pump mechanism, designed for convenient and controlled application. Patients are advised to apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice daily, or as directed by their healthcare provider. It is important to avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. Sunlight or artificial UV light exposure should also be avoided while using this medication, as it can cause the skin to become more sensitive.
