Medically reviewed by Dr. Balaji Krishnan, MBBS · Updated August 2026
Lumacip Plus Cream contains Hydroquinone (4% w/w) + Tretinoin (0.05% w/w) + Fluocinolone acetonide (0.01% w/w).
Melasma
Lumacip Plus Cream is a combination of three medicines: Hydroquinone, Tretinoin and Fluocinolone acetonide which treat melasma (dark spots on skin). The exact way this triple combination improves melasma is not fully known. Hydroquinone helps reduce melanin (skin pigment), tretinoin promotes skin cell turnover, and fluocinolone acetonide reduces skin inflammation.
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 cream. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
If you miss a dose of Lumacip Plus Cream, apply it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
Taking more Lumacip Plus than prescribed can be harmful. If you suspect an overdose, contact a doctor or go to the nearest emergency department at once, and carry the pack or strip with you. In India the emergency number is 112.
Most side effects of Lumacip Plus are mild and settle as the body adjusts. Reported side effects include:
Stop the medicine and seek help immediately for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

Tell your doctor or pharmacist about every medicine you take, including over-the-counter products, vitamins and herbal or ayurvedic preparations, before starting Lumacip Plus. Some combinations can change how Lumacip Plus works or raise the chance of side effects.
Store Lumacip Plus below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the pack tightly closed and out of the reach of children. Do not use it after the expiry date printed on the pack.
Along with applying Lumacip Plus Cream, wear long-sleeved clothing, sunglasses, or a hat whenever you step outside in the hot sun for better protection. Do not cover the area being treated with airtight dressings unless instructed by a doctor. Use moisturizer regularly to overcome skin dryness during the course of treatment. You may also use certain safe cosmetics (after consulting with your doctor) to lighten pigmentation. Before using Lumacip Plus Cream, inform your doctor if you have any skin problems or are applying any other medicines to your skin.
