Lustra Cream (active ingredient: hydroquinone) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Hyperpigmentation Disorders: Lustra Cream is used to lighten areas of hyperpigmentation, such as age spots, melasma, and freckles, by reducing the production of melanin in the skin.
  2. Skin Discoloration: It is also indicated for the treatment of other types of skin discoloration caused by various factors, including sun damage and hormonal changes.

Lustra Cream belongs to a class of drugs known as skin lightening agents, which work by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase, crucial in the production of melanin, thereby helping to even out skin tone and reduce discoloration.

Hydroquinone should be applied to the affected area of the skin twice daily or as directed by your healthcare provider. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, or nose, and to use sunscreen and avoid sunlight or artificial UV rays while using Lustra Cream. In case it accidentally comes in contact with these areas, you must flush them with plenty of water.

To use Hydroquinone Cream safely, apply a small amount of the cream to an area of unbroken skin before using it on the affected areas. Check the test area within 24 hours for any serious side effects like itching, redness, puffiness, or blister. In case of such effects, avoid using Hydroquinone Cream and contact your doctor immediately. If there is only mild redness, you may start with the treatment.

Hydroquinone Cream may make the treated areas of skin more sensitive to sunlight. Therefore, to avoid unwanted skin lightening, avoid prolonged sun exposure, tanning salons, and sun lamps. Wear protective clothing while outdoors on the treated areas of skin. Though Hydroquinone Cream contains sunscreen, it is not sufficient for any other skin parts not being treated for discoloration. You should apply a separate sunscreen with SPF 15 or more to your normal skin.

Use Hydroquinone Cream regularly to see the best results. Try to use it at the same times each day to remember.
