Skinshine Advance Day Care Cream 20g

Skinshine Advance Day Care Cream from Cadila Pharmaceuticals Limited is a 20 g topical cream for the face. This is a prescription medicine. It is dispensed on the advice of a doctor and is used under medical supervision for pigmentation concerns such as melasma.

What Melasma Is

Melasma is a common skin condition in which darker, discoloured patches appear, usually across the cheeks, forehead or upper lip. It is far more common in women than in men, and is often linked to hormonal changes — pregnancy or oral contraceptives — or to sun exposure. It is a cosmetic condition rather than a dangerous one, but it can be persistent, which is why it is managed by a dermatologist rather than self-treated.

Why It Is Prescription Only

Creams in this category are prescribed, not sold freely, because the right strength and the right length of use depend on your skin and on what is causing the pigmentation. Used for longer than advised, or without the sun protection a doctor will insist on, these creams can make skin more sensitive rather than less. A dermatologist decides whether it suits you, for how long, and what to pair it with.

How to Use

Storage & Safety

Read the label and the manufacturer's leaflet carefully before use. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.
