The next question is, does melasma cream help with skin lightening? If yes, how? Melasma creams can help lighten the skin in many ways. It includes blocking pigment formation, decreasing melanin production, removing dark patches, and promoting cell turnover. However, the results vary from person to person – precisely their response to the cream.

Melasma creams are found to be more effective in epidermal melasma, which occurs on the skin’s top layer. These creams do not bleach the skin. Instead, they act on the pigment-producing cells that reduce skin darkening. Compounds most widely used in these creams include glycolic acid, kojic acid, Arbutin, vitamin C, Azelaic acid, and Niacinamide.

Depending on the dermatologist’s advice, skin type and sensitivity, and melasma type, you may use these creams on their own or combine them with other prescribed medications.

Other ways to treat melasma include dermatologist-prescribed melasma medication applying dermatologist-recommended sunscreen, or wearing camouflage makeup.
