Properties

Tritospot cream is a combination of four effective topical agents for decreasing hyperpigmentation of the skin. Hydroquinone is a depigmenting agent for the skin in conditions such as chloasma,melasma & freckles. The presence of Eusolex as a sunscreening agent reduces the chances of repigmentation of the skin.


Tretinoin stimulates the epithelium to produce a less cohesive horny layer which is more easily peeled off. Hydrocortisone helps improve results and at the same time reduces inflammation which may occur.
