You can apply aloe vera juice/gel from its leaf (fresh, not from readymade gels available in market) on your face. Remove skin of an aloe vera leaf. Take/scoop out gel. Apply this gel to your face skin. Wash with plain water after an hour.

Hello lybrate-user. Please use sunscreen in morning or else their won't be any use of using night cream. Go for other triple combination cream like kojivit ultra and apply only on dark areas. Please take care of your nutrition and add zinc supplement to your diet.

Melalite xl is hydroquinone, mometasone and tretinoin triple combination cream. When used unsupervised, for longer periods, it may lead to exogenous oochronosis (resistant pigmentation due to hydroquinone) which is quite difficult to treat, and also it can cause side effects due to steroid component like acne, skin thinning/atrophy, erythema, steroid dependence, etc. Tretinoin component can lead to dryness of skin. I would advise you to stop using it, and inculcate these 3 things in your daily routine: 1. A gentle, sulfate free facewash/ cleanser twice daily. Once your skin condition is better, you may use aha/bha containing facewash which will help with pigmentation as well. 2. A non comedogenic moisturiser twice daily after facewash. 3. A sunscreen gel: spf 30+, non comedogenic, 30 mins before stepping out, reapply every 2-3 hrly. Use even when indoors since your skin has tendency for pigmentation and even mobile/laptop screens have been proven to emit uv rays which can increase your pigmentation. Any product/ night cream for pigmentation can only be advised after looking at the kind of pigmentation. Consult a dermatologist online or offline. Please avoid self medication. Sometimes people get side effects which are permanent by using over the counter freely available topical creams. Invest in your face, opt for this simple routine, I am sure it will help.

Is melalite forte cream a steroid? I have acne-prone skin and a lot of leftover acne scarring. Can melalite forte be used along with tretinoin for this purpose? I want something that won't cause any reverse effects on discontinuation. If not, please suggest alternatives.

Melalite forte contain hydroquinone 4 percent which is a skin lightening agent (prescribed mostly in cases of melasma) but erythema is a side effect of this drug .for that reason low potent steroid is usually used as a combination formula to counteract erythema. Triple combination cream or hydroquinone is usually prescribed for 3 wks. And den maintainance formula (glycolic acid/ kojic acid/ vit c is used) yes you can use moisturizer before applying it at night. Use sunscreen during daytime. Thanks .take care.

Hello I am 32 year old and I have pcos. My skin is extremely pigmented so my doctor recommended melalite xl. I have been using this cream since last two years but its makes my skin sensitive and red. 15 gm cream lasts for 7 months which means I use less quantity along with moisturizer daily but it really makes my skin red the next day and it also clears dark spots. What should I do.

Melalite xl cream contains steroids (mometasone) and hence it is not meant for long term use. It makes skin sensitive and thin. Please consult your doctor for alternate treatment.
