Used topically for conditions involving hyperkeratotic skin, such as corns, calluses, warts, and certain inflammatory skin conditions. May also be used for acne and psoriasis under medical supervision.

Salicylic acid acts as a keratolytic agent by softening and shedding the outer layer of skin (stratum corneum), while anthraquinone glycosides provide anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, reducing redness and irritation associated with skin lesions.

For topical use only; avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, and broken skin. Not recommended for use during pregnancy, in children, or in patients with renal impairment. May cause local skin irritation or allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Consult a healthcare provider before use.
