  • Description

    Salicylic Acid, Hydrocortisone Lotion has a synergistic mechanism of action. Salicylic acid primarily acts as a keratolytic agent, promoting the shedding of dead skin cells. It achieves this by breaking down the bonds between cells in the outer layer of the skin, facilitating the removal of the stratum corneum and reducing scaling. This action helps to unclog pores and prevent the formation of skin lesions. Hydrocortisone, on the other hand, is a potent anti-inflammatory corticosteroid. It works by inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators and suppressing immune responses in the skin. When applied topically, hydrocortisone reduces redness, itching, and inflammation associated with various skin conditions. The combination of salicylic acid and hydrocortisone in a lotion formulation allows for simultaneous exfoliation and anti-inflammatory action, making it effective in treating skin conditions characterized by inflammation, scaling, and excessive skin cell proliferation.
