Medicine Description Azo 25 gm
Azo Cream is a topical preparation specifically designed to treat acne. It contains two active ingredients that work together to combat acne and reduce its appearance: sulfur and salicylic acid. Sulfur dries out acne and exfoliates the surface layer of the skin, helping to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores. Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) known for its ability to penetrate pores and cleanse excess oil and dead skin cells, in addition to its anti-inflammatory and exfoliating properties. This combination provides a comprehensive, multi-faceted treatment for acne.
