How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Coal Tar Topical Solution 5%/Salicylic Acid 3% Pearlescent Topical Cream is a potent compounded formulation designed to treat a variety of skin conditions. It combines the anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties of coal tar with the keratolytic action of salicylic acid. This unique blend works synergistically to alleviate symptoms associated with psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, eczema, acne, and skin infections.

Coal tar, a well-known anti-inflammatory and antiseptic agent, helps to alleviate itching, scaling, and redness associated with various skin conditions. On the other hand, salicylic acid, a keratolytic agent, reduces the thickness of the outer layer of the skin, thereby enhancing the penetration of coal tar into the deeper layers of the skin.

In the case of psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and eczema, this formulation works by reducing inflammation and itching, while also facilitating deeper penetration of coal tar into the skin through the thinning of the outer skin layer by salicylic acid. For acne and skin infections, the formulation helps to reduce inflammation and itching, while also promoting the penetration of coal tar into the skin for enhanced therapeutic effect.

This formulation is dispensed in a pump mechanism for convenient and controlled application. It should be applied to the affected area twice daily or as directed by your healthcare provider. It is crucial to follow the directions on the label and avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth. If you have any questions about how to use this formulation, please consult your healthcare provider.
