Key Features:
-
Salicylic Acid (2%):
-
The cream contains salicylic acid, a well-known ingredient for its keratolytic properties. It helps to soften and remove the thick scales often associated with psoriasis by gently exfoliating the skin. This promotes smoother skin and helps prevent buildup of dead skin cells.
-
-
Ceramides:
-
It includes ceramides (Ceramide 1, 2, and 3), which are essential lipids that help restore and maintain the skin's natural protective barrier. This helps lock in moisture and protects the skin from further irritation or damage.
-
-
Urea:
-
The cream also contains urea, an ingredient known for its ability to help soften rough, dry skin by enhancing moisture retention and promoting the breakdown of dead skin cells.
-
-
Non-Greasy Formula:
-
Despite its rich moisturizing properties, the cream has a non-greasy formula that absorbs quickly into the skin, allowing you to use it without feeling weighed down or oily.
