Demelan Cream

Composition:

Active Ingredient: Glycolic Acid (15g)
Other Ingredients: Typically includes a blend of emulsifiers, preservatives, and additional skin-beneficial compounds. (Exact ingredients may vary; always check the product label.)

Mechanism of Action:

Glycolic Acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that works as an exfoliant. It penetrates the outer layer of skin and promotes the shedding of dead skin cells, enhancing skin texture and providing a brighter appearance. Glycolic Acid is known to stimulate collagen production, which can aid in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as improve skin tone and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation.

Dosage:

Apply a thin layer of Demelan Cream to the affected areas of the skin.
Usage frequency can vary; commonly recommended for use once daily, preferably in the evening.
Start with a patch test and gradually increase usage as tolerated.

Usage:

Clean the skin thoroughly before application.
Apply the cream to affected areas, avoiding contact with eyes and mucous membranes.
Ensure hands are washed after application to avoid unintentional spread to other areas or to others.

Side Effects:

Common side effects may include:

Skin irritation or redness
Peeling
Burning or stinging sensation
Dryness
Sensitivity to sunlight

Severe reactions are rare, but if you experience significant irritation, allergic reactions, or symptoms that persist, it is advised to discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider.
