How it works
Melapik Ever New Cream is a combination of Allantoin, Hydroquinone, and Tretinoin. Allantoin works by forming an oily layer on the top of the skin, which traps moisture and prevents dryness of the skin. It also promotes the shedding of old, dead skin cells. Hydroquinone decreases the formation of melanin (a chemical substance that causes hyperpigmentation). Tretinoin promotes the growth and maturation of new skin cells, thus replacing old, hyperpigmented skin cells.
