Lactic Acid + Liquid Paraffin + Propylene Glycol + Urea is a combination medication that manages dry skin conditions.
Lactic Acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid. It dissolves the bonds between dead skin cells, helping them shed easily and facilitating skin cell renewal for a smoother complexion.
Liquid Paraffin forms a protective barrier over the skin, preventing the escape of moisture and thus maintaining hydration.
Propylene Glycol is a humectant. It draws water towards the skin to keep it moisturized and supple.
Urea acts as a keratolytic agent. It breaks down keratin in dead skin cells, making them easy to shed off and promoting hydration. It also has mild exfoliating properties that further contribute to the skin's health.
