Uses of Triluma Cream

This combination medicine is prescribed to treat melasma that has appeared on the face. Melasma is a type of skin condition that causes dark patches of skin face, particularly on foreheads and cheeks. 

It may occur as a result of hormone fluctuations. The product is comprised of 3 kinds of drugs. Hydroquinone can be a reversible bleaching agent. Tretinoin, a retinoid, can increase the shedding of skin. 

Fluocinolone is a moderate strength corticosteroid which reduces swelling, itching and the appearance of redness. Triluma Cream can improve the appearance of skin melasma but is not an effective treatment. In the long run, exposure to the causes of the melasma (such as sunlight and estrogen-type hormones for birth control) could result in it returning.
