Hydroquinone 6%, Kojic Acid 4%, Tretinoin 0.05%, Hydrocortisone 0.5%

This melasma maintenance cream is part of our Melasma Kit and contains effective, prescription-strength ingredients for reducing melasma pigmentation.  It is comparable to the Cosmelan 2 (Cos 2) Cream included in the original European Cosmelan Kit with hydroquinone. When used as part of the kit, the cream is applied daily after the in-office application of the melasma mask.

Melasma Cream Ingredients

Several effective ingredients are included in this cream for treating melasma. Hydroquinone and kojic acid are lightening agents that reduce hyperpigmentation. Tretinoin clears the skin of blemishes and discolorations by increasing cell turnover. Hydrocortisone is included as an anti-inflammatory that soothes the skin to prevent irritation while the other ingredients work. When these ingredients are used together they provide a greater improvement in melasma than when used alone.

Customized Melasma Cream Formulations

Unlike commercially available products, our creams can be custom formulated based on the unique needs of each patient. Multiple strengths and ingredients are available depending on the severity of the patient’s melasma and their skin type. We are able to offer higher percentages of hydroquinone than are commercially available in these combinations.

It is difficult to find a melasma treatment that really works. Many skincare professionals find that combining multiple effective ingredients into one cream is the best way for patients to stay compliant with treatment and improve their melasma.
