How Does it Work

This compounded formulation is a topical ointment that combines the therapeutic properties of benzoic acid 6%, salicylic acid 2.5%, and sulfur 4.6%. It is specifically designed to treat a range of skin conditions such as acne, psoriasis, eczema, and seborrheic dermatitis. The ointment is dispensed in a tube and is intended for external application to the skin.

The benzoic acid in the formulation works to alleviate inflammation and redness, making it particularly effective for conditions characterized by these symptoms.

When applied to the affected area, this ointment works to soothe inflammation, reduce redness, and alleviate irritation. It also aids in reducing the appearance of blemishes and controlling sebum production. However, it is important to avoid applying this ointment on broken or irritated skin as it may exacerbate the irritation.

For optimal results, it is recommended to apply a thin layer of this ointment to the affected area twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. Always ensure to wash your hands before and after application to maintain hygiene. If you experience any discomfort or irritation while using this ointment, discontinue use immediately and consult your healthcare provider.
