Effect
The medicine contains two active ingredients: allantoin and dexpanthenol.
Allantoin has exfoliating and protective effects on the skin, improves its hydration, and supports wound healing by stimulating the growth of new tissue. With regular use for excessive keratinization of the skin, allantoin can prevent excessive deposition of keratin (a type of protein).
Dexpanthenol penetrates deeply into the skin, where it is converted into pantothenic acid. An increased need for pantothenic acid occurs in injuries and various skin conditions. Dexpanthenol has the ability to bind water, thereby increasing the elasticity of the skin.
Indications
Prevention of diaper rash in infants.
Treatment of various types of wounds, such as abrasions, minor cuts, and skin cracks.
Treatment of sunburn as well as burns after radiation and light therapy.
Care of irritated and dry skin.
Excessive keratinization of the skin on hands and feet.
Supportive care for atopic dermatitis, allergic eczema, inflammation of the nasal mucosa, and leg ulcers.
