This product consists of two active ingredients: Betamethasone dipropionate and Salicylic acid.
Betamethasone dipropionate belongs to a class of medications known as "topical corticosteroids" that work to reduce inflammation, itching, and redness of the skin.
Salicylic acid is a medication that works by softening the upper layer of scales on the skin's surface, allowing betamethasone dipropionate to reach the affected area of skin beneath the scales to aid in the recovery from skin disease.
This product is used to treat adults and children who suffer from skin problems that include a layer of scales covering the affected skin.
This product will help reduce itching and redness in the skin and remove the layer of scales.
