Demelan Cream 20gm (Glycolic Acid/Arbutin/Kojic Acid Dipalmitate)
Product Overview
Demelan Cream 20 gm is a topical dermatological formulation containing Glycolic Acid, Arbutin, and Kojic Acid Dipalmitate, developed to help manage hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. It is commonly used in dermatology practice for conditions such as melasma, dark spots, post-acne marks, and general skin dullness.
The formulation works by targeting excess melanin production and promoting gentle exfoliation of the skin’s outer layer. Its combined action helps improve skin clarity, brighten complexion, and reduce visible pigmentation irregularities with regular use under dermatological guidance.
Mechanism Insights (How It Works)
- Melanin Regulation
Arbutin and Kojic Acid Dipalmitate help inhibit tyrosinase activity, an enzyme involved in melanin production, thereby reducing excess pigmentation over time. - Gentle Exfoliation
Glycolic Acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), promotes removal of dead skin cells from the surface, allowing newer, healthier skin to emerge. - Skin Renewal Support
By accelerating cell turnover, the formulation helps fade dark spots, improve skin texture, and enhance overall radiance with consistent application.

- Use preferably at night, unless advised otherwise
- Avoid contact with eyes, lips, and broken skin
- Wash hands before and after application
- Use sunscreen during the day, as skin may become more sensitive to sunlight

Interactions
General Interaction Overview

Commonly Observed Interactions

- Combining with benzoyl peroxide may cause excessive skin sensitivity or reduce stability of certain ingredients
- Concurrent use with other skin-lightening agents (such as hydroquinone or strong bleaching creams) should be done only under medical supervision
