Contraindicated in rosacea, acne vulgaris, perioral dermatitis, skin infections (bacterial, fungal, viral), and hypersensitivity to any component. Not for use on the face for prolonged periods.

How it works

Diflucortolone is a potent fluorinated topical corticosteroid that suppresses inflammatory and immune responses by binding to cytoplasmic glucocorticoid receptors, reducing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and mediators.

Storage

Store below 25°C, away from direct heat and light. Do not freeze.
