About Brite Cream

Brite Cream is a topical prescription medication used to treat skin hyperpigmentation, such as melasma, dark spots, and age spots. It helps lighten areas of the skin that have become darkened due to hormonal changes, sun exposure, or skin injury. This cream works by reducing skin pigment and protecting the treated area from further sun damage.

For best results, apply Brite Cream consistently and exactly as directed by your doctor, usually once or twice daily. You should apply it to clean, dry skin. To help this treatment work effectively, protect your skin from the sun by wearing protective clothing and wide-brimmed hats when outdoors.

Some people may experience mild side effects, such as temporary skin redness, stinging, or mild burning. If you experience severe skin irritation, cracking, or an unusual blue-black skin discolouration, stop using the cream and consult your doctor right away.

Do not use this if you have a known allergy to any of its ingredients or if you have severely sunburned or broken skin. If you have sensitive skin or a history of skin conditions, talk to your doctor before starting this medicine.

Avoid using Brite Cream alongside other topical products that contain peroxide, as this can cause temporary staining of your skin. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning a pregnancy, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using this product.

Uses of Brite Cream

Brite Cream helps reduce dark patches, even out skin tone, and protect the skin from further pigmentation. Your doctor may recommend it for the following conditions:

  • Melasma: Brite Cream helps lighten dark, patchy areas of skin on the face that often appear during pregnancy or hormonal changes.
  • Hyperpigmentation: It fades dark spots, freckles, and age spots by lowering the production of the pigment responsible for skin colour.
  • Sun Protection: The sun-filtering ingredients in Brite Cream protect newly treated skin from ultraviolet (UV) radiation, preventing the dark spots from returning.
  • Combination therapy: Depending on your skin condition, your dermatologist may prescribe hydroquinone as part of a combination treatment with other medicines, such as tretinoin or a topical corticosteroid. Always follow the instructions provided for your specific prescribed product. 

Key Benefits

Brite Cream helps reduce skin discolouration, even out skin tone, and protect treated skin from further sun damage. Key benefits include:

  • Reduces dark patches: Helps reduce excess skin pigmentation, gradually lightening melasma, dark spots, freckles, and age spots for a more even skin tone.
  • Restores natural skin appearance: Targets the source of excess pigment to help restore your skin's natural appearance with regular use.
  • Protects against UV damage: The built-in sun-filtering ingredients help protect treated skin from ultraviolet (UV) rays, reducing the chance of dark spots returning.

Directions for Use

  • Generally, Brite Cream is to be used twice daily; however, follow your doctor's advice regarding the dosage and duration.
  • Take a small amount of Brite Cream on the fingertip and apply it to the clean and dry affected area as advised by your doctor.
  • Avoid contact of Brite Cream with the eyes. In case Brite Cream comes in contact with the eyes accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly.
  • Wash your hands before and after applying Brite Cream.

How Brite Cream Works

Brite Cream contains hydroquinone, octinoxate, and oxybenzone, which work together to reduce skin darkening and protect your skin from further sun damage. Hydroquinone works by blocking an enzyme in your skin called tyrosinase. This enzyme is necessary for the production of melanin, the pigment that gives your skin its colour. By slowing down melanin production, it gradually lightens dark patches and helps even out your skin tone. Octinoxate and oxybenzone are sun-filtering agents. They act as a shield on your skin by absorbing harmful ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays from the sun. Because sunlight triggers melanin production and can worsen dark spots, these ingredients help protect your recovering skin and prevent further darkening during treatment.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

Brite Cream contains Hydroquinone, Octinoxate and Oxybenzone.
