This cream is a skin lightening agent for topical application which inhibits tyrosinase enzyme, which is important in the biosynthesis of melanin pigments. Inhibition of tyrosinase thus inhibits the production of melanin pigments, leading to skin lightening. Mometasone inhibits the formation, release, and migration of chemical mediators like kinins, histamine, liposomal enzymes, and prostaglandin. It also decreases inflammation by inhibiting the migration of leukocytes and reducing the permeability of capillaries. Tretinoin works by binding to alpha, beta, and gamma retinoic acid receptors (RARs) thus activating them. This produces changes in the gene expression that leads to decreased cell multiplication, inhibition of tumorigenesis and cell differentiation.
