Burning or stinging sensation at the application site
Skin irritation or redness
Skin dryness
Peeling or itching of the skin
Discoloration at the site of the application
Clobetasol Propionate is a potent corticosteroid. It works by suppressing the skin's immune response, thereby reducing inflammation, redness, and itching.
Lactic Acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid. It gently exfoliates the skin by breaking down dead skin cells, promoting cell turnover and enhancing the absorption of other ingredients.
Salicylic Acid is a beta-hydroxy acid. It penetrates the skin and dissolves the matrix that holds skin cells together, helping to shed dead skin cells, unclog pores and reduce inflammation.
Urea is a humectant. It attracts and retains moisture in the skin and also helps to soften and remove thick, scaly skin.
