What are the melasma treatment protocols?
Melasma treatments typically involve a combination of powerful ingredients like hydroquinone, tretinoin, and niacinamide. These ingredients are all contained in topical form within The Spot Cream from Musely. It's essential for users to also use sun protection with a mineral SPF 30+ daily in their skincare routine, as sunlight can worsen melasma.

Always follow your provider's guidance when combining active ingredients.
