This medicine is a skin bleaching agent used to temporarily lighten dark-colored patches of skin (also called melasma, liver spots, age spots, freckles) caused by pregnancy, birth control pills, hormone medicine, or injury to the skin. This medicine also contains sunscreens to help prevent dark spots from re-occurring due to sunlight or ultraviolet light exposure. This medicine works by blocking the chemical process (enzymes) in the skin that leads to discoloration.
