Indications

Lustra cream is a prescription medication that is used to lighten dark patches of skin. It contains hydroquinone, which is a skin-whitening agent.

Lustra cream is commonly used to treat conditions such as hyperpigmentation, melasma, age spots, freckles, and other forms of skin dyschromia.

By gradually lightening the darkened areas of the skin, Lustra cream can help even out the skin tone and improve the appearance of these conditions.

Use and Dosage

Before using, apply a small amount of this medicine to an area of unbroken skin, and check the area within 24 hours for any serious side effects. If the test area is itching, red, puffy, or blistering, do not use this product and contact your doctor. If there is just mild redness, then treatment with this product may begin.

Apply this medication to the affected areas of the skin, usually twice daily or as directed by your doctor. This medication is for use on the skin only. If it is used incorrectly, unwanted skin lightening may occur. Avoid getting this product in your eyes or on the inside of your nose or mouth. If you do get this medication in those areas, flush with plenty of water.

This medication may make the treated areas of the skin more sensitive to the sun. Avoid prolonged sun exposure, tanning booths, and sunlamps, and wear protective clothing on the treated areas of skin when outdoors. This product contains sunscreen, but it should not be used as a sunscreen for other skin that is not being treated for discoloration. Instead, apply a separate sunscreen of SPF 15 or greater to your normal skin.

Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same times each day. Tell your doctor if your condition lasts or gets worse after 2 months.
