Melasma is not simple condition to treat because some patients do not respond to treatment significantly and some who get cured completely come back with recurrence.
Having said that I feel Ban-a-Tan cream by curatio is one of the safest and most effective creams I find for long term treatment of Melasma.
In most cases we do give oral treatment also for Melasma improvement from inside but that medicine can only be given on prescription after detailed history.

Hi lybrate-user!
hydroquinone can cause dryness and irritation in few individuals. First and foremost ,please stop hydroquinone few days. Use moisturiser like nivea cream or any other good one 2 to 3 times a day to prevent dryness. Stop using soap /face wash for few days to prevent dryness. Instead use plain water for cleansing the face for few days. Once everything sets, you can switch on to plain koijc or glycolic cream as skin lightening agent for maintenance.

Hello lybrate-user
both the creams are equally good.
But hydroquinone should not be applied for an extended period of time (avoid more than 3 months) as it can cause pigmentation as a side effect.
Apply it at night and if using this, give a break of 1-2 month if applying it continuously for a long period of time
and always remember to use sunscreen to prevent more pigmentation.

Hydroquinone and steroid based combinations are not to be used for more than a month. Even if you r not experiencing side-effects now it's making your skin thin and very sensitive leading to redness and heat sensitivity. You will experience problems when you stop using it as it's kind of addicting for the skin but you should stop it asap under the guidance of an m.d or DVD dermatologist. Permanent problems that could arise from such creams are excessive skin redness burning and itching, hair gro...more
