Description
A Ret HC cream combines hydroquinone 5%, tretinoin 0.1%, and hydrocortisone 1% cream in treating facial hyperpigmentation. Dermatologically, hyperpigmentation is accepted as the darkening of normal skin due to a visible overproduction and deposits of melanin. This triple combination is considered useful to reduce dark spots, and it is advised to use a sunblock of SPF 60 regularly for all patients during treatment.
— Tretinoin is a retinoid that increases skin cell renewal, removes dead skin cells, and replaces them with new ones. It also unclogs pores by reducing the production of oil in the skin.
— Hydroquinone is considered the bleaching agent. When used in a proper adequate manner can reduce excess melanin production and dermal deposits.
— Hydrocortisone is a corticosteroid that acts inside skin cells and stimulates the production of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause itching, redness, and swelling.
