Melalite Forte Cream contains hydroquinone 4% for local dark spot care. It helps improve the look of melasma, dark patches, freckles, and post acne marks. The cream applies only to the darker areas, not the full face. The 30g tube suits a focused night skin care routine.
Hydroquinone helps reduce excess pigment production in the skin. This can make darker patches look lighter with regular use. It works best when paired with daily sunscreen and limited sun exposure. South African sunlight can darken marks again without daytime protection.

Start with a patch test on a small area of unbroken skin. Cleanse the skin and allow it to dry fully. Apply a small amount only to the dark patch. Use a thin layer at night.
Keep the cream away from the eyes, lips, nostrils, and broken skin. Wash your hands after applying the cream. Do not spread it across normal skin. Use sunscreen every morning on exposed areas.

Only on darker patches

For a limited course as directed
After checking skin comfort with a patch test
During week one, patch test first and start slowly. Apply a thin layer at night to the dark areas only. Use a plain moisturiser if the skin feels dry. Apply SPF 30 or higher every morning.
From week two onward, continue only if the skin stays comfortable. Avoid harsh scrubs, benzoyl peroxide, and peroxide based products during use. Stop and seek advice if burning, swelling, or strong irritation appears. Do not use it for months without a planned break.
Use a gentle cleanser before applying the cream at night. Add a simple moisturiser when the skin feels dry or tight. Use sunscreen every morning, even on cloudy days. A hat or shade can help reduce new pigment from sun exposure.
