How Lumaglo Forte Cream works

Hydroquinone: A skin-lightening agent that works by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase, which is involved in the production of melanin (the pigment responsible for skin color). Tretinoin: A form of vitamin A that increases skin cell turnover, helping to exfoliate the skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and improve skin texture. Fluocinolone Acetonide: A mild corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and redness, which can accompany conditions like melasma.

How To Use Lumaglo Forte Cream

  • Dosage: Follow the dosage prescribed by your healthcare provider.
  • Typically, it is applied once daily at night.
  • Administration: Clean and dry the affected area before applying the cream.

  • Use the cream only on the areas with melasma or hyperpigmentation.
  • Wash your hands thoroughly after applying the cream.

  • Use sunscreen with a high SPF and wear protective clothing during the day to avoid further pigmentation and irritation, as the cream increases skin sensitivity to sunlight.
