Key Active Ingredient
Clobetasol propionate, the active ingredient, is a synthetic corticosteroid. It works by suppressing the immune system’s response to inflammation. This process reduces symptoms like redness, swelling, and itching, allowing the skin to heal. The ointment is particularly effective for conditions that have not responded well to milder treatments.
