hello I’m Dr. Aanchal Panth today I’m going to review Demelan cream. We got a lot of requests to review the cream. so here you go. I make videos on skincare and on hair transplantation if such content is of interest to you then please subscribe to the channel. This is my very first product review so I’m going to be telling you the contents of the cream, how the individual ingredients act, how to use it, what are the precaution s then you need to keep in mind and the possible side effects. So first let’s start with the content of the cream. This cream contains glycolic acid 10%, Arbutin 5% and kojic acid 2%. so what does glycolic acid do ? glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid. It is derived from sugar. It gently exfoliates the skin. So it removes the top layer of the skin, the stratum corneum, hence exposing fresher skin so the new skin looks softer and lighter colored. This shedding of skin results in deeper penetration of the active ingredients. Also it gets rid of the pigmentation on the top. So this makes the skin lighter over time. One thing you must remember when you’re using a cream containing glycolic acid is that you have to be very careful with sun protection. You have to be very diligent with sun protection. You have to use a sunscreen regularly whenever you are applying glycolic acid creams and these creams have to be applied at night. In the day you have to follow it up with a good sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 which contains zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. This is important because glycolic acid makes your skin more sensitive to get a tan or to get a sunburn as it is shedding the overlying layer it exposes new skin which is more sensitive to effects of the Sun . you have to make sure that you apply sunscreen regularly. Otherwise you can end up feeling that you’re more tan than when you started out. The chances of getting tanned and getting sunburnt is high. Be very diligent with your sunscreen. the next component is Arbutin. Arbutin is a derivative of hydroquinone. It is an effective substitute for hydroquinone it is derived from berry plant and it serves as antimicrobial as well so how this acts is that it reduces the activity of the enzyme which makes melanin. so the amount of pigment formed is reduced. So over time it does lighten your dark spots. The third agent is kojic acid. kojic acid is a derivative of a fungi. It acts as a skin lightening agent as well as has some anti-inflammatory properties. So as a solo agent it is not very effective but when combined with other skin lightening agents, it does work well.
It is a safe agent to use so when do we prescribe demelan cream? it is given whenever you are having any kind of dark spots. it is used as a maintenance treatment in melasma or after any kind of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation which can result after acne or any injury to the skin which has resulted in your skin becoming dark in those conditions we can use it It can also be used to remove skin tanning so it causes shedding of skin and you can see thin peeling and then your skin tends to be much lighter. can this cream be used to change your natural skin color? absolutely not. Your natural skin color cannot be changed with this cream or with any cream for that matter so it will only help in reducing dark spots or any kind of hyperpigmentation that you might have on your face or if you have skin tanning or pigmentation as a result of any kind of injury to your skin but do not expect this cream to completely change your skin color because it’s not going to. how do you apply this cream. This cream is ideally used at night you can take a liberal amount of the cream and apply it over your entire face at night.
I would suggest that start with a very small quantity. It is always best to do our test patch before you start using this cream. Apply a small amount of cream on your neck and observe it for the next 48 hours if you’re able to tolerate it then you can apply it on your entire face. It can be applied in two ways either only on the dark spots or on your entire face. When you have any kind of pigmentation or or dark spots on your face then I prefer to give it only on the spots but if you want to get rid of tanning or want to improve your overall skin tone, which has become darker due to sun tanning, then you can apply it over the whole face. After washing your face with a gentle cleanser, you can apply this Demelan cream and follow it up with a moisturizer use of a moisturizer is very important when you’re applying de melon cream because it has glycolic acid it tends to dry out your skin a little bit so always remember to apply a moisturizer on top. How long does it take for you to notice improvement? after using this cream you will start noticing lightning in your dark spots after about 4 to 6 weeks of using this cream. Don’t expect that you’ll apply this cream and you’ll see changes immediately within a week or so no you have to be very regular with this treatment and apply for at least 4 to 6 weeks then you will notice lightening of the dark spots. what is my aim with video is that if you are prescribed Demelan cream by a dermatologist you know how it acts and you know what are the components and how long you should use it.That’s it. but I do recommend that you always use this cream only under supervision of a dermatologist. So, there you go. this a very short review on Demelan cream. let me know in the comment section below if you want me to review any other cream .If you like such skin and hair related content you can follow us on other social media handles such as Instagram Facebook and Twitter.
