How Does it Work

This topical cream is dispensed in a pump mechanism for easy and controlled application directly on the affected skin area.

Imiquimod, an immune response modifier, stimulates the body's immune system to combat infections or diseases.

The combined action of these two ingredients makes this topical cream an effective treatment for Actinic Keratosis, a precancerous skin condition; Basal Cell Carcinoma and Bowen's Disease, types of skin cancer; Squamous Cell Carcinoma, another form of skin cancer; and Molluscum Contagiosum, a viral skin infection. In each of these conditions, the cream works by stimulating the body's immune system to fight the infection and reduce symptoms.
