Tri-Luma Cream (fluocinolone/hydroquinone/tretinoin)

Indications and Usage

TRI-LUMA Cream is a combination of fluocinolone acetonide, hydroquinone, and tretinoin. Fluocinolone acetonide is a corticosteroid, hydroquinone inhibits melanin synthesis, and tretinoin is a retinoid. This cream is indicated for the short-term treatment of moderate to severe melasma on the face, and it should be used alongside measures for sun avoidance, including the regular use of sunscreens.

Limitations of Use

TRI-LUMA Cream is not intended for long-term maintenance therapy for melasma. Once control is achieved with TRI-LUMA Cream, some patients may transition to alternative treatments instead of continuing with the triple therapy provided by TRI-LUMA Cream. Discontinuation of TRI-LUMA Cream often leads to the recurrence of melasma. The safety and effectiveness of TRI-LUMA Cream in individuals with Fitzpatrick Skin Types V and VI have not been investigated. There is a possibility of excessive bleaching, which may result in undesirable cosmetic outcomes, particularly in individuals with darker skin tones. Additionally, TRI-LUMA Cream has not been evaluated for its safety and efficacy in treating hyperpigmentation conditions other than melasma on the face. Clinical trials excluded pregnant and lactating women, and women of childbearing age were required to use contraception. Therefore, the safety and effectiveness of TRI-LUMA Cream for pregnant women and nursing mothers have not been determined.

Dosage and Administration

• Spread a thin layer of TRI-LUMA Cream over the affected region once per day, ensuring application at least 30 minutes before bedtime.
• Cleanse the face and neck gently with a mild cleanser, then rinse and pat the skin dry before applying TRI-LUMA Cream to areas affected by melasma, extending about 1/2 inch onto the surrounding normal skin. Massage gently and evenly into the skin. Discontinue treatment once melasma is under control.
• During daylight hours, use a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 and wear protective clothing, while avoiding direct sunlight exposure. Moisturizers and cosmetics may be used during the day.
• TRI-LUMA Cream is solely for topical application and should not be taken orally, applied to the eyes, or used intravaginally.
