Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

• Tyrodin cream contains tranexamic acid, kojic acid, arbutin, magnesium, mulberry extract and Vitamin E as active substances.
• Tranexamic acid reduces the hyperpigmentation of the outer layer of skin cells and reverses melasma-related changes of the skin.
• Kojic acid decreases the production of a substance called melanin responsible for skin pigmentation.
• Arbutin prevents the action of a chemical called tyrosinase which is involved in the production of the skin pigmenting substance, melanin.
• Magnesium provides the essential mineral to the skin cells.
• Mulberry extract is an antioxidant that protects against the UVB and UVA rays of sunlight and prevents damage to skin cells after sunlight exposure.
• Vitamin E is an antioxidant that protects the cells from the damaging effects of substances called free radicals.

Directions for Use

• Tyrodin cream should be used as recommended by your doctor.
• Clean and dry your hands before and after applying the medicine.
• Apply the medication only to the hyperpigmented areas and rub gently to cover the entire affected area.
