Melrio Cream

Product Overview

Melrio Cream is a dermatological formulation combining three active ingredients: Hydroquinone, Tretinoin, and Fluocinolone Acetonide. This triple-action prescription treatment effectively targets multiple skin concerns including hyperpigmentation, acne, and inflammation. Designed for clinical efficacy, it helps diminish dark spots, melasma, and post-acne scarring while promoting a more uniform skin tone and texture.

Uses

This topical medication is primarily indicated for:
– Treatment of hyperpigmentation disorders (melasma, solar lentigines, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation)
– Acne vulgaris management
– Reduction of inflammatory skin conditions
The formulation works through three complementary mechanisms: melanin synthesis inhibition, accelerated cellular renewal, and anti-inflammatory action.

Application Guidelines

For optimal results:
1. Cleanse and pat dry treatment areas
2. Apply a thin layer (pea-sized amount) to affected areas once daily at bedtime
3. Avoid periocular area, lips, and mucous membranes
4. Implement strict sun protection measures during daytime use
Treatment duration and frequency should be determined by a healthcare professional based on individual response.

Mechanism of Action

The synergistic formulation provides comprehensive skin correction:
• Hydroquinone (4%): Tyrosinase inhibitor that reduces melanin production
• Tretinoin (0.05%): Retinoid that enhances epidermal turnover and exfoliation
• Fluocinolone Acetonide (0.01%): Corticosteroid that mitigates inflammation and irritation

Dosing Protocol

Standard therapeutic regimen:
– Frequency: Once daily nocturnal application
– Quantity: 0.5g cream per facial application
– Duration: Typically 8-12 weeks for initial course
Note: Allow complete absorption before applying other topical products. Clinical improvements become noticeable after 4-6 weeks of consistent use.

Therapeutic Benefits

1. Clinically proven depigmenting action
2. Dual acne treatment (comedolytic and anti-inflammatory)
3. Enhanced skin renewal and texture improvement
4. Reduction of erythema and inflammatory markers
5. FDA-approved combination therapy
