Can melalumin lightening cream be used on lips to decrease melanin, or do I need to get the specific melalumin lip lightener? The chemist said it would work, but I'm not sure.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
I would advise against using Melalumin lightening cream on your lips, even if the chemist says it will work. Here's why:
- Formulation differences: Melalumin lightening cream is formulated for skin use, whereas lip skin is more delicate and requires specialized care. Using a skin cream on lips may cause irritation, dryness, or other adverse reactions.
- Lip safety: Lips lack the protective barrier of skin, making them more susceptible to irritation and damage. Using a skin lightening cream on lips may increase the risk of adverse effects.
- Specific lip concerns: Lip lightening products, like Melalumin lip lightener, are specifically designed to address lip concerns, such as dryness, pigmentation, and fine lines. They may contain ingredients that are more suitable for lip care.
To ensure safety and effectiveness, I recommend using a product specifically designed for lip care, such as Melalumin lip lightener.

I'm looking for a minoxidil product at 5% strength that doesn't have alcohol or propylene glycol. The one I'm using right now is in lotion form, but it's causing some really bad itching. Do you have any recommendations for something else I could try?
-You can try a *minoxidil 5% foam* instead of lotion, as its alcohol- and propylene glycol-free, reducing the chances of itching. If irritation persists, consult a dermatologist for alternatives.
