Hello lybrate-user. Please use sunscreen in morning or else their won't be any use of using night cream. Go for other triple combination cream like kojivit ultra and apply only on dark areas. Please take care of your nutrition and add zinc supplement to your diet.

Both have hydroquinone as ingredient & this should not use for more then 1 month, otherwise this will cause more severe darkness (exogenous ochronosis ). Melasma have different types & darkness on your face may not be melasma & may be other disease like pih, ochronosis, riehl" s melanosis. So you should consult with your dermatologist. He will find out what disease you have & treat you accordingly.

Stop using it. You can apply aloe vera juice/gel from its leaf (fresh, not from readymade gels available in market) on your face. Remove skin of an aloe vera leaf. Take /scoop out gel. Apply this gel to your face skin. Wash with plain water after an hour. Stop using soap on face. Instead take a spoon of milk, add a pinch of turmeric (haldi). Mix n apply on face with the help of cotton. Leave for a few minutes then wash off. Once a week apply a mixture of besan, milk. Take a spoon besan add milk to make a paste add a pinch of turmeric (haldi). Mix n apply on fac. Leave for a few minutes. Then rub off from n wash face with pain water.

Melalite forte contain hydroquinone 4 percent which is a skin lightening agent (prescribed mostly in cases of melasma) but erythema is a side effect of this drug .for that reason low potent steroid is usually used as a combination formula to counteract erythema. Triple combination cream or hydroquinone is usually prescribed for 3 wks. And den maintainance formula (glycolic acid/ kojic acid/ vit c is used) yes you can use moisturizer before applying it at night. Use sunscreen during daytime. Thanks .take care.

This is not safe for long term. You can use this max 1 month. This will cause dark spots that will be extremely difficult to treat by usual treatment.

Hydroquinone 2–4% as cream or lotion, applied accurately to pigmented areas at night for 2–4 months. Azelaic acid cream, lotion or gel can be applied twice daily long term and is safe in pregnancy and lactating mothers. Kojic acid can be tried .use sunscreen in the morning for better results.
