Eukroma SG Cream

Product Overview

Eukroma SG Cream is a dermatological formulation combining Hydroquinone, Octyl Methoxycinnamate, and Oxybenzone as active ingredients. This triple-action formula effectively addresses skin hyperpigmentation while providing broad-spectrum sun protection.

Therapeutic Applications

This cream is clinically indicated for treating various forms of hyperpigmentation including melasma, solar lentigines (age spots), freckles, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Its photoprotective properties help prevent UV-induced skin damage and further pigmentation disorders.

Mechanism of Action

Hydroquinone acts as a tyrosinase inhibitor, reducing melanin production in epidermal cells. The UV filters Octyl Methoxycinnamate (a UVB absorber) and Oxybenzone (a broad-spectrum UV filter) work synergistically to shield the skin from solar radiation, thereby preventing photoaging and UV-triggered melanogenesis.

Application Guidelines

For optimal results:
1. Cleanse and dry affected areas thoroughly
2. Apply a thin layer once daily (preferably at night) or as prescribed
3. Wash hands before and after application
4. Avoid periocular area, mucous membranes, and broken skin
5. Discontinue if severe irritation occurs
