Uses of M-Lume Cream

• Treatment of Melasma

How does M-Lume Cream work?

M-Lume Cream is formulated with a combination of three active ingredients: Mometasone, Tretinoin, and Hydroquinone, each contributing to its therapeutic effects through its unique mechanisms of action.

Hydroquinone acts by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase, which plays a crucial role in the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin coloration and conditions like melasma.

Tretinoin, derived from Vitamin A, functions as a keratolytic agent. Its role involves the elimination of melanin that has already been produced, contributing to the reduction of skin pigmentation. Additionally, Tretinoin possesses anti-inflammatory properties, further aiding in the overall treatment.

Mometasone, classified as a corticosteroid, operates by blocking the production of inflammatory chemicals such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes. This action helps narrow and constrict blood vessels that are dilated and leaky, preventing the influx of other inflammatory cells into the skin. By doing so, Mometasone curbs the inflammatory response, addressing skin conditions associated with inflammation.

The combined action of these three components in M-Lume Cream presents a comprehensive approach to treating hyperpigmentation and related skin issues, targeting both the production and elimination of melanin, as well as managing inflammation for an effective and balanced therapeutic outcome.
