The therapeutic treatment of hyperpigmentation in Nigeria depends on Melalite Forte Cream, which dermatologists use to control melanin synthesis. The 4% hydroquinone cream treats melasma by blocking enzymatic functions that occur in epidermal melanocytes. Mechanism of Action for Melalite Cream The effectiveness of Melalite Cream depends on its ability to halt the cellular process that produces pigments. The active molecule creates a deep skin penetration path, which serves as a structural decoy for tyrosinase. The process of dark cluster assembly comes to a complete stop when the enzyme incorrectly attaches to the formula instead of its intended natural substrate, which is tyrosine. Clinical Safety of Melalite Forte Cream Very Common: Transient erythema and stinging. Common: Mild pruritus and xeroderma. Rare: Exogenous ochronosis from unmonitored use. Contraindications: NAFDAC in Nigeria and SAHPRA in South Africa emphasize that any skin-lightening cream requires strict oversight.
