Key Ingredients and Their Benefits
Betamethasone .005%
Betamethasone is a potent corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation, redness, and itching. It works by suppressing the immune response that triggers inflammation, providing relief from the uncomfortable symptoms associated with psoriasis.
- How It Works: Reduces the inflammatory response
- Benefits: Relieves redness, itching, and swelling
Calcipotriene .064%
Calcipotriene is a synthetic version of vitamin D, which plays a crucial role in regulating skin cell growth. Psoriasis accelerates the production of skin cells, leading to the formation of thick, scaly patches. Calcipotriene helps to slow down this process, reducing the thickness of psoriasis plaques.
- How It Works: Slows down skin cell production
- Benefits: Reduces plaque thickness and improves skin texture
Together, Betamethasone and Calcipotriene form a powerful combination that addresses both the inflammation and rapid skin cell growth associated with psoriasis.
