Tri Luma Cream

Tri – Luma is a light yellow, FDA approved cream for moderate to severe melasma. It contains 3 different active ingredients; Fluocinolone 0.01% which reduces inflammation, hydroquinone 4% which lightens the skin and tretinoin 0.05% which increases cell turnover and exfoliates the skin.

It should only be used for a maximum of 8 weeks due to the steroid content. You will see a notable difference in your skin within 4 weeks. It needs to be stored in a fridge.

This product is not available in the UK but is very popular in the United States. At Relimeds we stock Tri – Luma, manufactured by Galderma in a 15g tube at an affordable price.
