Physical Description:

Yellow rich cream.

Key ingredients:

Hydroquinone (4%): Hydroquinone is a powerful skin-lightening agent commonly used to treat hyperpigmentation, such as dark spots, melasma, and freckles. It works by inhibiting the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. This results in the gradual lightening of the affected areas, leading to a more even skin tone. Regular use of Hydroquinone can significantly diminish the appearance of discoloration and contribute to a clearer, more uniform complexion.

Betamethasone (0.05%): Betamethasone is a potent corticosteroid that provides anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. It is effective in reducing skin irritation, redness, and swelling. In skincare, Betamethasone is used to treat various dermatological conditions that involve inflammation and discomfort. By alleviating inflammation, it helps to soothe the skin.

Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C): The ultimate brightening agent, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) works tirelessly to diminish dark spots, promote collagen production, and unveil a luminous complexion. It helps improve wrinkles and loss of firmness due to sun damage.

Tretinoin (0.05%): Tretinoin, a potent retinoid, functions by accelerating skin cell turnover. It promotes the shedding of old, damaged skin cells and encourages the growth of new ones. This process reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, enhances skin texture, and stimulates collagen production, resulting in firmer and more youthful-looking skin.
