CYSTEAMINE 6% TREATMENT FOR MELASMA & SKIN PIGMENT
cysteamine
Cysteamine cream is generally very safe with very low risk of side effects. Rarely, mild skin irritation (e.g.redness and dryness)may occur. For the first few days, you may experience a warm sensation and mild redness on immediate application of the NOON cysteamine cream to the skin and this is normal. This sensation is temporary and will disappear within 30 minutes of application of Cysteamine cream.
After 6 weeks of application of cysteamine, the risk of skin irritation reduces considerably, and higher exposure times are usually well tolerated (although it is not necessary to increase the exposure time). There is no limit for the long-term use of cysteamine.
