Melan H Cream is a combination dermatological preparation designed to manage areas of excess skin pigmentation.
Hydroquinone helps reduce melanin production, which contributes to dark spots and uneven skin tone. Tretinoin promotes skin-cell turnover, helping the skin shed pigmented surface cells. Allantoin helps soothe and moisturise the skin.
The cream may be prescribed for conditions such as melasma, freckles and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Results vary depending on the cause and severity of pigmentation.
Because the formulation contains active ingredients that may irritate the skin and increase sensitivity to sunlight, it should be used under professional guidance.
