Q. What over-the-counter spot removal creams are available?

A. There are several types of spot removal creams available at pharmacies.
The active ingredients include “Tretinoin,” which promotes skin turnover, and “Hydroquinone,” which suppresses melanin production, the cause of spots.

As of 2022, the pharmacy carries the following products:
Active ingredient: Tretinoin
Product names: ACNETIN-A Cream or DermaKlares Gel

Active ingredient: Hydroquinone
Product names: DELANIN Cream or MelloDerm Gel

Both cream and gel forms are available, but since the ingredients are the same, their effects are identical.
Please note that production of “ACNETIN-A” has ended, so please use other products with the same ingredient.
