Galderma

This combination medicine is used to treat melasma on the face. Melasma is a condition of dark-colored, patchy areas on the skin.

Before using, gently wash your face and neck with a mild soap/cleanser. Rinse and pat dry the skin. APPLY A THIN LAYER OF MEDICINE TO THE AREA that is being treated including about one-half inch of normal appearing skin surrounding the affected area. Rub it in gently and thoroughly. Wash your hands when you are done. If you experience dry skin from using this medicine, you may use a skin moisturizer to help treat this effect; it is recommended to use the moisturizer in the morning after washing your face.

SIDE EFFECTS, that may go away during treatment, include redness, dryness, itching, or mild burning of the skin. If they continue or are bothersome, check with your doctor.
