What is Tri-Luma?

Tri-Luma is a brand-name prescription cream that treats facial melasma, a skin pigmentation condition characterized by brown or gray patches on the face. Melasma is usually caused by a sensitivity to female sex hormones, estrogens and progesterones. Pregnancy, birth control pills, and hormone therapy are common causes, but stress and thyroid conditions can also cause melasma. Whatever the cause, exposure to the sun greatly increases the problem, so Tri-Luma therapy also involves sun avoidance and use of sunscreen.

The active ingredients in Tri-Luma are a corticosteroid (fluocinolone) to reduce swelling, a pigment-reducing drug (hydroquinone) to block melanin production, and a retinoid (tretinoin or “synthetic vitamin A”) that helps repair skin damaged by the sun.

What doses of Tri-Luma are available?

Tri-Luma is applied as a thin layer over the affected skin area 30 minutes before bedtime once daily. The cream should be gently rubbed into the skin. The cream should be applied to the affected area as well as the ½ inch of normally-pigmented skin surrounding the affected area. Patients should avoid sunlight, wear protective clothing, and use sunscreen of at least SPF 30 when exposed to sunlight. Tri-Luma is discontinued when the underlying condition is under control. Tri-Luma is for short-term treatment, not long-term maintenance. However, when Tri-Luma is discontinued, melasma often returns, so your healthcare professional may prescribe a different treatment.

What are the side effects of Tri-Luma?

The side effects of Tri-Luma are very common and many are temporary site reactions to Tri-Luma, such as redness, burning, peeling, dryness, itching, and tingling (paresthesia). Other common side effects of Tri-Luma include acne and pigment changes. More serious but very rare side effects are the result of one of the active ingredients, fluocinolone, being absorbed into the bloodstream. Symptoms include thinning skin, hair loss, weakness, tiredness, loss of appetite, depression, anxiety, and irritability.

Allergic reactions are rare. If you experience an allergic reaction, such as facial swelling, trouble breathing, or rash, discontinue use of Tri-Luma and get emergency medical attention.
