Description

Melatonin 2.5% x 30 g is a compounded topical formulation under investigation for its potential applications in managing skin aging and sleep-related concerns. Melatonin, a hormone naturally produced by the pineal gland, is involved in regulating circadian rhythms and possesses antioxidant properties. In topical form, it is hypothesized to support skin repair processes and counteract oxidative stress linked to aging.

The product is applied topically as directed by a healthcare provider. While generally regarded as safe, the topical use of melatonin may cause localized skin reactions, including redness, itching, or irritation in sensitive individuals. Application to broken or irritated skin should be avoided unless advised otherwise. Safety and efficacy have not been established through controlled clinical trials.

Data on interactions between topical melatonin and other dermatological agents remain limited. Use should be monitored in patients concurrently applying other skin treatments, especially those with active dermatologic conditions. Known hypersensitivity to melatonin or formulation components constitutes a contraindication.
