Triluma RD Cream

Triluma RD Cream is a prescription topical combination cream containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, and fluocinolone acetonide in the strength labeled on each bottle. It is used on the skin to treat short-term moderate to severe melasma, a dark facial pigmentation condition. Hydroquinone lightens excess pigment, tretinoin helps skin cells turn over, and fluocinolone acetonide reduces inflammation and irritation. Galderma India Pvt. Ltd. supplies this cream in a pack of 10 bottles.

How it works: In Triluma RD Cream, hydroquinone helps fade dark patches by reducing the skin’s pigment-making process, while tretinoin speeds up skin cell turnover so darker surface cells are shed more quickly. Fluocinolone acetonide calms redness, itching, and irritation from the other ingredients, which can make the cream better tolerated on affected skin.

Triluma RD Cream is the cream formulation in the Triluma line, and it is intended for patients whose dermatologist has specifically chosen this combination for pigment control with added anti-inflammatory support. Compared with the other Triluma strength/form listed, the cream form is easier to spread in a thin layer and is often chosen for facial use where a smooth, non-greasy application is preferred.

• Short-term treatment of melasma
• Fading dark facial patches caused by excess pigment
• Dermatologist-directed skin-lightening therapy for stubborn discoloration
• Inflammation control during pigment treatment

• Apply Triluma RD Cream only to the affected facial skin as directed by your doctor.
• Use a very thin layer; more cream does not work faster and can cause more irritation.
• Wash your hands before and after applying the cream, unless your hands are the treatment area.
• Avoid the eyes, lips, nostrils, and broken or sunburned skin.
• Use it at night unless your prescriber tells you otherwise, and follow up with daytime sunscreen.
• Do not cover the treated area with bandages or occlusive wraps unless your doctor instructs you to.

Each bottle of Triluma RD Cream contains the labeled fixed combination of hydroquinone, tretinoin, and fluocinolone acetonide in cream form; the exact amount should be read from the package label for that bottle. It is typically applied once daily in a thin layer, and the prescriber decides the duration and maximum amount used per day based on your skin and response. Because this is a prescription combination cream, do not use it more often or on more skin than directed.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Hydroquinone + Tretinoin + Fluocinolone Acetonide may include:

• Skin redness
• Burning or stinging at the application site
• Dryness or peeling
• Itching or mild irritation
• Increased sun sensitivity
• Temporary lightening or darkening of nearby skin
• More irritation may occur if used too often or on sensitive facial skin

• Use only under medical supervision; this is a prescription-strength combination cream, not an over-the-counter cosmetic.
• Do not use on eczema, cuts, sunburn, or irritated skin unless your clinician specifically tells you to.
• Avoid prolonged sun exposure and tanning beds; use broad-spectrum sunscreen every day.
• Use caution if you have very sensitive skin, rosacea, or a history of steroid-related skin thinning.
• Do not apply near the eyes or on eyelids because tretinoin and hydroquinone can be very irritating there.
• Stop and contact your prescriber if you develop marked burning, swelling, or worsening discoloration.
• Do not use longer than prescribed, since the fluocinolone component is a corticosteroid and can thin the skin with extended use.

• Other topical retinoids, exfoliants, or peeling agents can increase irritation.
• Astringents, alcohol-based toners, and abrasive cleansers may worsen dryness and stinging.
• Other products containing hydroquinone, tretinoin, or topical steroids may duplicate therapy.
• Waxing, laser treatments, or harsh dermatologic procedures on the treated area may irritate the skin more.
• Benzoyl peroxide or strong acne treatments can increase dryness and discoloration risk when used on the same area.
