GLOMELA CREAM

Glomela Cream is primarily used to treat melasma (dark brown patch on skin). Melasma, also known as chloasma or mask of pregnancy, is a common skin condition that causes brown patches on the face. It is more common in women than in men. The discoloured (grey-brown) patches occur mostly on the forehead, chin, nose and cheeks.

Glomela Cream contains three medicines, namely: Fluocinolone acetonide (steroid), Hydroquinone (skin lightening or bleaching agent), and Tretinoin (a form of Vitamin A or retinoids). Fluocinolone acetonide is a steroid that blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. Hydroquinone belongs to the class of skin-lightening agents that work by decreasing the amount of melanin (a skin pigment) that is responsible for the darkening of the skin. Tretinoin belongs to the class of retinoids (man-made vitamin A) that works by increasing the renewal of skin cells, which helps in the natural exfoliation of the skin’s outer layers.

Glomela Cream is only for external use. Avoid contact of Glomela Cream with nose, mouth, eyes, ears, or vagina. Do not apply on a cut, open wound, or burnt skin area. In case Glomela Cream comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Some people may experience application site reactions (burning, irritation, itching, and redness). Most of these side effects of Glomela Cream do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
