Same salt, different brand — what does that mean?
A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as Skinshine Cream. The brand name, manufacturer, inactive ingredients and price can differ, and so can release form, so a substitute is not automatically interchangeable.
All medicines sold in India, branded or generic, must meet the quality standards set by the national drug regulator (CDSCO). A lower price does not mean lower quality.
Please confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before switching brands — they will check that the strength and form match your prescription.

- Skinshine calms the inflammation behind an eczema flare, quickly reducing the redness, itch and weeping so the skin can heal and the scratch-itch cycle is broken.
- In Dermatitis
- Skinshine settles the red, itchy, inflamed skin of dermatitis, whether from an allergy, irritant or contact with something the skin reacts to.

How Skinshine Cream works
Skin-brightening creams typically work by moisturizing the skin and using ingredients that reduce excess melanin formation and oxidative stress, leading to a more even-looking complexion. Exact mechanism depends on the active ingredients, which vary by brand formulation.
How to take Skinshine Cream
Apply a thin layer on clean, dry skin over the affected/desired area once or twice daily or as directed by a dermatologist. Avoid contact with eyes, inside nose/mouth, and broken/irritated skin. Use sunscreen during daytime if using for pigmentation.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
Missed dose and overdose
If you miss a dose
If you miss a dose of Skinshine 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.
If you take too much
An overdose of this medicine is unlikely from skin use; swallowing the preparation may cause stomach upset. It can suppress the body's own steroid production when it is used for a long time over large areas, especially in children. It can cause severe irritation when far too much cream is applied; an oral retinoid taken in excess can cause headache, vomiting and liver injury. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
Side effects of Skinshine Cream
Most side effects of Skinshine are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:
- Mild burning or stinging
- redness
- itching
- dryness
- peeling
- irritation
- allergic rash
Stop the medicine and get help at once 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.
