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

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.
