How it works

Urea disrupts the intracellular matrix of the stratum corneum, loosening the horny layer and facilitating shedding of scaly skin. Salicylic acid acts as a keratolytic by reducing corneocyte adhesion and softening the keratin layer. Together they produce a synergistic softening and exfoliating effect on hyperkeratotic tissue.

Storage

Store at room temperature below 25°C. Protect from freezing and excessive heat. Keep out of reach of children.
