Medicine Description teen-derm 10%
Teen Derm is a medication that combines diazolidinyl urea, glycolic acid, and propylene glycol to target acne and related skin issues. Diazolidinyl urea serves as a preservative and contributes to skin hydration, helping to maintain skin integrity. Glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid, facilitates exfoliation by promoting the shedding of dead skin cells, thereby preventing clogged pores. This process aids in reducing the formation of acne lesions. Propylene glycol acts as a humectant, enhancing skin moisture retention and improving overall skin texture. Together, these ingredients work synergistically to renew the skin surface, minimize the appearance of blemishes, and support the healing of acne-prone skin.
