Uses & Benefits

A-Ret HC Cream may be prescribed for:

Melasma

Chloasma

Freckles

Certain sun-related hyperpigmentation

Senile lentigines/age spots

Other selected facial hyperpigmentation conditions diagnosed by a dermatologist.

Key Benefits

Hydroquinone helps reduce excess melanin production and lighten hyperpigmented areas.

Tretinoin promotes skin-cell turnover and helps improve the penetration/action of hydroquinone.

Hydrocortisone helps reduce inflammation, redness and irritation associated with treatment.

The combination can help gradually improve the appearance of dark patches and uneven skin pigmentation when used under dermatological supervision.

⚠️ Important: This is not an ordinary cosmetic fairness cream. It contains a topical corticosteroid and prescription-strength depigmenting/retinoid ingredients and should be used only under medical supervision.
