Melalong Ad Cream is used in the treatment of dark patches caused by hyperpigmentation, age, and UV radiation. Melalong Ad Cream is effective in lightening sunspots and age spots. Melalong Ad Cream also helps in preventing acne in oily, acne-prone skin. 

Melalong Ad Cream is composed of Mequinol and Tretinoin. Melalong Ad Cream reduces the melanin (skin pigment) in the dark spots, thereby depigmenting and lightening them. Thus, Melalong Ad Cream helps treat hyperpigmentation.  Melalong Ad Cream also regulates skin turnover and helps in the prevention of acne.

In some cases, Melalong Ad Cream may cause certain very occasional side effects such as transitory stinging, tingling and irritation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects consistently.

Please inform the doctor if you are allergic to any of the components. Melalong Ad Cream is not recommended for use during pregnancy or while trying to get pregnant. Consult your doctor before using Melalong Ad Cream if you are breastfeeding. Avoid getting Melalong Ad Cream in your eyes, nostrils, mouth or vagina. Ensure adequate sun protection after treatment with Melalong Ad Cream. 

Melalong Ad Cream is a cosmeceutical and dermatological cream. It contains Mequinol and Tretinoin. Melalong Ad Cream is used to treat pigmentation of various kinds, including unsightly spots that appear due to age and/or sun exposure. Melanin is the normal skin pigment. In high concentrations, it produces pigmentation. Mequinol suppresses melanin production by inhibiting its parent enzyme tyrosinase and also by preventing the development of melanin-producing cells, thereby nipping the production of melanin in the bud. Tretinoin is a form of Vitamin A. It essentially regulates the turnover of cells and causes the older layers of skin to divide more rapidly and die, clearing them away. Melalong Ad Cream hence is very effective in lightening pigmented skin and preventing blackheads, whiteheads and pimples from being formed. In addition, tretinoin also aids the formation of the precursors of collagen (major skin protein), thereby enhancing skin appearance and health.

Solar lentigines: Solar lentigines are localised, pigmented spots where skin colour appears uneven due to the formation of patches because of an excessive concentration of melanin due to unprotected exposure to the sun. This is a harmless condition and varies from age spots to sunspots. It is commonly seen on the face, hands, shoulders and arms. 

Acne: Acne is a skin condition in which pores of the skin get blocked or clogged by sebum, leading to the appearance of whiteheads, blackheads, pimples and greasy skin. It is caused by a bacterium called Propionibacterium acnes.
