Clearz Max Cream
Composition:
- Hydroquinone: 2% w/w
- Tretinoin: 0.025% w/w
- Fluocinolone Acetonide: 0.01% w/w
Mechanism of Action:
- Hydroquinone: A skin-lightening agent that works by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase, which is involved in melanin production. This helps to reduce dark spots and pigmentation in the skin.
- Tretinoin: A derivative of vitamin A (retinoid) that promotes cell turnover and exfoliation, helping to prevent the formation of new pigmentation and improving skin texture by promoting the growth of new, healthy skin cells.
- Fluocinolone Acetonide: A potent topical corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, redness, and swelling associated with skin conditions. It helps alleviate any irritation or inflammation that may occur with the use of hydroquinone and tretinoin.
Dosage:
- Apply a thin layer of Clearz Max Cream to the affected areas of the skin once daily at bedtime or as directed by your healthcare provider.
- Always follow the instructions provided by your physician or dermatologist.
Usage:
- Indications: This cream is primarily used for the treatment of hyperpigmentation disorders such as melasma, sun-induced pigmentation, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
- Clean the affected area before application and ensure your skin is dry.
- Use sunscreen during the day to protect treated areas from UV exposure.
Side Effects:
Some common side effects may include:
- Skin irritation (redness, burning, peeling, dryness)

- Uncommon side effects may include severe redness or blistering of the skin.
Recommendations:
- Conduct a patch test prior to use to ensure you don’t have an allergy to any of the components.
