Melalite Forte 4% Cream (Hydroquinone 4%) – Product Information

🧴 Product Description
Targeted Treatment for Dark Spots & Pigmentation

Melalite Forte 4% Cream is a dermatologist-recommended skin-lightening treatment formulated with Hydroquinone 4%, one of the most effective depigmenting agents. It helps reduce dark spots, melasma, acne marks, age spots, and uneven skin tone by slowing down the production of melanin (the pigment responsible for skin darkening).

Hydroquinone works by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase, which plays a key role in melanin production. With consistent use, the cream helps fade existing pigmentation and prevents new spots from forming, revealing a more even and radiant complexion.

Melalite Forte is commonly prescribed for:

• Melasma

• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) from acne or injury

• Freckles

• Sunspots

• Age spots

• Uneven skin tone or dark patches

Because this is a high-strength formulation, it is usually recommended for short-term use under medical supervision.

Key Benefits:

⭐ Powerful Skin Lightening: Effectively reduces dark spots and pigmentation.
⭐ Targets Melanin Production: Slows down pigment formation for long-lasting results.
⭐ Improves Skin Tone: Reveals brighter, more even-toned skin.
⭐ Dermatologist Trusted: Commonly used in professional pigmentation treatment plans.

⚠️ Precautions
Is Melalite Forte 4% Right for You?

Hydroquinone 4% is strong and should be used strictly as directed by your dermatologist.

Please inform your doctor if the patient:

• Is Pregnant or Breastfeeding: Hydroquinone should be avoided unless specifically approved by a doctor.

• Has Sensitive Skin or Eczema: May experience increased irritation.

• Has a History of Allergies: Especially to hydroquinone or topical medications.

• Is Using Other Skin-Lightening Products: Risk of irritation increases significantly.

• Has Open Wounds, Cuts, or Sunburn: Avoid application to damaged skin.

• Spends a Lot of Time Outdoors: Requires strict sun protection to prevent worsening pigmentation.

❗ Do not use Melalite Forte for longer than 8–12 weeks unless instructed by a dermatologist. Prolonged use may lead to ochronosis (rare bluish-black pigmentation).

Usually applied once daily at night.

How to Apply:

1. Wash your face and gently pat dry.

4. Massage gently until absorbed.

5. Avoid eyes, mouth, corners of the nose, and broken skin.

6. Wash your hands after applying.

Sun Protection is Mandatory:

Daytime SPF 30–50 is essential, as hydroquinone makes the skin highly sensitive to sunlight.
