HTM Cross Cream 20 gm

HTM Cross Cream is a prescription topical medication containing a combination of hydroquinone, mometasone, and tretinoin, used primarily for the short-term treatment of moderate-to-severe melasma (dark patches on the skin). It should be used under medical supervision.Htm Cream is a dermatological treatment that combines a skin-lightening agent (hydroquinone), a corticosteroid (mometasone), and a retinoid (tretinoin) to address hyperpigmentation. It is most commonly prescribed for melasma, a condition that causes dark, discolored patches on the face, often triggered by sun exposure, pregnancy, or hormonal changes. 

Benefits of HTM Cross Cream:

The cream works to improve skin tone and texture through a multi-action approach: 

Ø  Fades dark spots and melasma patches by reducing excess melanin production.

Ø  Brightens skin and promotes a more even complexion.

Ø  Reduces redness, swelling, and itching associated with skin irritation due to its anti-inflammatory properties.

Ø  Boosts skin renewal and exfoliation of the skin's outer layers, which helps eliminate formed melanin. 

Ingredients of HTM Cross Cream:

Htm Cream contains three active ingredients: 

Ø  Hydroquinone: A skin-lightening agent that inhibits the enzyme (tyrosinase) responsible for melanin production.

Ø  Mometasone: A potent corticosteroid that blocks the production of inflammatory chemicals, thereby reducing redness and swelling.

Ø  Tretinoin: A form of Vitamin A (retinoid) that increases the turnover rate of skin cells, helping to exfoliate the skin and promote rapid renewal.
