This listing contains hydroquinone 2%, tretinoin 0.025%, and mometasone furoate 0.1%; verify the actual manufacturer’s pack.
It may be prescribed for selected pigmentation disorders, but diagnosis and treatment duration should be clinician-directed.
Prolonged use without follow-up is unsafe because mometasone is a corticosteroid that may thin the skin.
Tretinoin may increase irritation and photosensitivity; sun protection is important.
Topical retinoids are generally avoided during pregnancy; consult a qualified professional.
Product information updated: 10 October 2026. Educational information based on the references below; not an individual prescription.
Melacare combines hydroquinone, tretinoin and mometasone for clinician-assessed pigmentation concerns. Before using it for dark facial patches, establish whether the problem is melasma, marks after inflammation or another condition.
Important: Contains a topical steroid and tretinoin. Do not use for general skin whitening, acne self-treatment or continuous unsupervised maintenance.
Hydroquinone reduces pigment formation, tretinoin affects skin-cell turnover, and mometasone suppresses inflammation. The combination requires a defined treatment area and review plan; having three ingredients does not make it appropriate for every dark mark.
Sun protection remains part of pigmentation care. Ask about broad-spectrum sunscreen, shade and a maintenance plan after the prescribed course. Increasing cream use to compensate for sun exposure can increase irritation.

Ajanta’s product information lists this composition for Melacare. A different hydroquinone percentage or steroid would be a different formulation.
Use only on the area and for the period your clinician specifies. Avoid the eyes, lips and broken or irritated skin. Do not add separate tretinoin, steroid creams, exfoliating acids or peels without checking the whole routine with your clinician.
Burning, dryness, redness or peeling may occur. Prolonged steroid exposure can damage skin, and hydroquinone can occasionally cause abnormal darkening. Stop and seek advice for marked irritation, new blue-grey discoloration, spreading rash or signs of infection.
Avoid tretinoin-containing products during pregnancy or when planning pregnancy. Discuss breastfeeding and treatment of children with a clinician. If you have already used the cream for a long time, arrange a review rather than repeatedly restarting it.
Dark marks after acne and melasma are different problems. A dermatologist should choose the treatment; a steroid-containing combination is not a routine acne medicine.
Use the duration written on your prescription and arrange a review. Do not continue indefinitely simply because pigmentation returns.
Yes. The listed mometasone is a corticosteroid. The cream also contains hydroquinone and tretinoin.
Do not add another retinoid unless prescribed. This formulation already contains tretinoin, and duplicating ingredients may increase irritation.
Avoid it during pregnancy or when planning pregnancy because it contains tretinoin. Ask your clinician about an appropriate alternative.
