Is Melas Cream 100% Herbal?

I read about melas cream. Its ingredients list is purely herbal. But as per reviews it helped a lot to improve their complexion within 2weeks. Some has got redness. Do this really contain only herbal things or any steroids or hydroquinone ? Because i doubt can herbal things peel skin within a day or night

1. Melas cream is both Ayurveda and Allopathy product so description provided is:

. It is a triple drug combination of steroid with hydroquinone and tretinoin and is usually prescribed by skin specialist for Melasma, and due to the presence of steroid one should not use it on face which may lead to side effects like acne, photo sensitivity,thinning of skin,hirsutism in females, as such it should be used under the supervision of dermatologist to prevent steroid abuse.

. Ayurveda melas cream is herbal and causes exfoliation of skin and should be used at night and not during day, since due to thinning of skin there might be sun burn.
