Esoterica (medication)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Esoterica is an over-the-counter topical ointment applied to the skin for the purpose of lightening freckles, age spots, chloasma, melasma, and other skin discolorations due to a benign localized increase in the production of melanin. Esoterica may have other appropriate medical uses as determined by a physician.
