Clearz Ultra Gel
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 reduces the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. It inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase, which is involved in melanin synthesis.
- Tretinoin: A derivative of vitamin A (retinoid) that promotes skin cell turnover, helps in the exfoliation of the outer layer of skin, and improves the overall texture and tone, also affecting melanin distribution.
- Fluocinolone Acetonide: A potent corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, redness, and swelling. It helps to alleviate the irritation that may occur due to the other active ingredients.
Dosage:
- Apply a thin layer of Clearz Ultra Gel to the affected areas of the skin as directed by a healthcare professional, usually once daily in the evening before bedtime.
Usage:
- Primarily used for the treatment of hyperpigmentation disorders such as melasma, age spots, and other skin discolorations. It is important to use it alongside sun protection measures (e.g., sunscreen) to prevent further pigmentation.
Side Effects:
- Common side effects may include:
- Skin irritation
- Redness
- Burning or stinging sensations
- Dryness or peeling of the skin
- Less common side effects could include allergic reactions, severe skin irritation, or secondary infections. If these occur, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider.
Recommendations:
- Perform a patch test before full application to check for sensitivity to the ingredients.
- Use only as directed by a healthcare provider.
- Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and any mucous membranes.
