How To Use

To be used as per doctor's prescription or directed skincare regimen:

1. Thoroughly cleanse the face with a mild cleanser and pat dry.

2. Take a small, pea-sized amount of Dermoteen Whitening Cream.

3. Gently massage the cream onto the specific dark spots or the entire face until completely absorbed.

4. If used during the day, it is mandatory to follow up with a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 40+), as brightening ingredients can make the skin more sensitive to UV radiation.

When Not to Use

Do not use in case of:

• Known hypersensitivity or allergy to Kojic Acid, Alpha Arbutin, or any other listed ingredients

• Active sunburn, open wounds, or severely irritated/cracked skin

• Skin currently suffering from acute inflammation or infections (e.g., severe cystic acne or eczema)

Side Effects

Side effects are generally mild and uncommon but may include:

• Temporary redness or a slight tingling sensation upon initial application

• Mild skin dryness or peeling as the skin surface renews

• Rare cases of contact dermatitis due to ingredient sensitivity

Precautions & Warnings

For external topical use only. Avoid contact with eyes, lips, and nostrils. If persistent irritation, burning, or extreme redness occurs, discontinue use immediately and consult your dermatologist. Always prioritize the use of high-factor sun protection while using this product, as UV rays can reverse the brightening effects and worsen pigmentation.

Drug Interactions

Do not use if:

• You are currently using other potent prescription-strength bleaching agents or retinoids (like Tretinoin) unless specifically cleared by your doctor, as simultaneous use can lead to severe skin irritation.

Food Interactions

The food interactions that should be considered while using Dermoteen Whitening Cream are:

• Being a topical cosmetic/medical cream, dietary choices do not impact its performance. However, maintaining a healthy, antioxidant-rich diet can support skin health from within during your treatment process.

Storage/Disposal

Store in a cool, dry place below 25°C. Keep the container tightly capped when not in use to prevent oxidation of active ingredients. Keep away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and humidity. Keep safely out of the reach of children.

Control Drug

No

Quick Tips, if any

• Consistency is key; brightening treatments usually require 4 to 8 weeks of regular use to show visible results.

• Never skip your daytime sunscreen—sun protection is the most important part of any whitening regimen to prevent new pigmentation from forming.
