Salicare cream (Salicylic Acid ointments)
Salicare Cream contains salicylic acid, a keratolytic agent. It works by breaking down keratin, a protein that forms part of the skin structure. This action helps to loosen and shed dead skin cells, unclog pores, and promote the growth of new, healthy skin. It also has mild anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.
