Key Ingredients
Betamethasone is a corticosteroid known for its ability to reduce inflammation and itchiness. It works by blocking certain chemicals in the body that cause swelling and redness. When applied to the skin, betamethasone quickly reduces the inflammation associated with psoriasis, relieving discomfort and irritation.
Calcipotriene is a synthetic form of Vitamin D3. It helps regulate skin cell growth, preventing the rapid production of skin cells typical in psoriasis. By slowing down the overproduction of skin cells, calcipotriene reduces scaling and promotes smoother, healthier skin.
