Benefits of Belina Gel

In Melasma

Melasma is a common skin problem that causes dark, discolored patches on your skin. It is more commonly seen in females than males. Belina Gel helps to lighten these dark patches of the skin usually caused by pregnancy, birth control pills, hormone medicine, or injury to the skin. It effectively blocks that process in the skin that leads to discoloration. Belina Gel also reduces any redness, rash, pain or itchiness that may be caused in this condition.

This improves your self-esteem and confidence as your appearance changes. You should always use it as prescribed and only apply the amount you have been told to. Keep using it for as long as it is prescribed to get the full benefits.

Side effects of Belina Gel

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the gel. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.

How Belina Gel works

Belina Gel is a combination of five medicines: Hydroquinone, Sodium Hyaluronate, Glycolic acid, Kojic Acid, and Lactic Acid. Hydroquinone and Kojic acid are skin lightening medications. They work by reducing the amount of pigment (melanin) that causes the darkening of skin. Sodium Hyaluronate helps in enhancing the appearance of dry and damaged skin by reducing flaking. Lactic Acid helps to moisten dry skin. Glycolic acid works by removing the outermost layer of dead cells and provides you fresh skin.
