What is melasma?

Don't stay in the dark about this common skin condition
—learn more about melasma.

No one is really certain exactly what
causes melasma, but there are many factors that can trigger it including pregnancy, birth control pills, hormone therapy, cosmetics, and anti-seizure medications. Because melasma is so common during pregnancy, it is sometimes referred to as "the mask of pregnancy." Sun exposure is also a major melasma trigger because ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun can increase melanin production.

Melasma is a common skin condition that causes the appearance of brown to gray-brown patches of skin due to the body producing too much melanin, a natural substance that gives color to our hair, skin, and eyes. It usually appears on the face, although it can 
also develop on the forearms and neck.

Tri-Luma^® is the only FDA-approved  melasma treatment with 3 active ingredients, uniquely combined and more effective than treatments containing only two of the ingredients. 

About
Tri-Luma^® Cream

Tri-Luma^® Cream is a unique triple-combination topical therapy for the short-term  (8-week ) treatment of the dark spots associated with moderate-to-severe facial melasma.

  1

Fluocinolone acetonide 0.01% is a mild corticosteroid that reduces inflammation.

 2

Hydroquinone 4% is a depigmenting agent that interrupts the formation and synthesis of melanin to help lighten the skin.

  3

Tretinoin 0.05% works by increasing the skin cell turnover rate, which helps exfoliate the skin.

Tri-Luma^® Cream should always be used in conjunction with sun-avoidance measures, like using sunscreens and wearing protective clothing. Tri-Luma^® may improve the 

 appearance of melasma but is not a cure.

How to apply
Tri-Luma^® Cream

Tri-Luma^® Cream (fluocinolone acetonide 0.01%, hydroquinone 4%, tretinoin 0.05%) should always be used as instructed by your doctor. To use the medicine correctly, follow these steps:

• Apply Tri-Luma^® Cream at night, at least 30 minutes before bedtime.
• Gently wash your face with a mild cleanser. Don’t use a washcloth to apply the cleanser, just your fingers. Rinse and pat your skin dry.
• Put a small amount (pea sized or ½ inch or less) of Tri-Luma^® Cream on your fingertip. Apply a thin coat onto the discolored spot(s). Include about ½ inch of normal skin surrounding the affected area.
• After you have used the medicine for a while, you may find that you need slightly less to do the job.
• Rub the medicine lightly and uniformly into your skin. The medicine should become invisible almost at once. If you can still see it, you are using too much.
• Keep the medicine away from the corners of your nose, your mouth, eyes and open wounds. Spread it away from those areas when applying it.
• Do not use more Tri-Luma^® Cream or apply it more often than recommended by your doctor. Too much Tri-Luma^® Cream may irritate your skin and won’t give you faster or better results.
• Do not cover the treated area with anything after applying Tri-Luma^® Cream.
• During use of Tri-Luma^® Cream, you may experience redness, peeling, burning, dryness, itching or other skin irritation. If your skin gets too irritated, stop usingTri-Luma^® Cream, and let your doctor know. Tri-Luma^® Cream may also cause a gradual blue-black darkening of your skin; if this happens, stop using the product immediately and speak to your doctor. To help avoid skin dryness, you may use a moisturizer in the morning after you wash your face.
• You may also use a moisturizer and cosmetics during the day.

Use a sunscreen of at least SPF 30 and a wide-brimmed hat over the treated areas. It requires only a small amount of sunlight—not just a sunburn—to worsen melasma. If you do get sunburned, stop using Tri-Luma^® Cream until your skin is healed. After stopping treatment with Tri-Luma^® Cream, continue to protect your skin from sunlight.

Only your doctor knows which other medicines may be helpful during treatmentand will tell you about them if needed. Do not use other medicines unless your doctor approves them.

What to expect from treatment with
Tri-Luma^® Cream

Tri-Luma^® Cream (fluocinolone acetonide 0.01%, hydroquinone 4%, tretinoin 0.05%) may improve your melasma, but it is not a cure.

In studies, after 8 weeks of treatment with Tri-Luma^® Cream, most patients withmoderate-to-severe melasma had at least some improvement. Some had their dark spots clear up completely (38% in one study and 13% in another). In most patients treated with Tri-Luma^® Cream, their melasma came back after treatment was discontinued.

If the underlying causes of melasma—such as the use of certain birth control pills or too much exposure to sunlight—are not removed, melasma will come back when you stop treatment.
