How it works
Ultitar CS Lotion contains Clobetasol, Salicylic Acid and Coal Tar. Clobetasol blocks the release of certain chemicals that cause redness, itching, and swelling. Salicylic acid softens and loosens the dry, scaly, or thickened skin, which causes shedding of the outer layer of the skin. It also enhances the absorption of other medicines into the skin present in combination with it. Coal tar normalises the process of cell growth in the skin. It softens the outer layer of the skin causing the skin to shed dead cells. Thus it decreases scaling, dryness, and itchiness associated with various skin conditions.
