This medication works by reducing inflammation and suppressing the immune system in the skin. Clobetasol propionate, the corticosteroid, acts by binding to glucocorticoid receptors in the skin cells, which leads to the production of anti-inflammatory proteins. Lactic acid, salicylic acid, and urea work together to exfoliate and moisturize the skin, further reducing inflammation and improving the overall skin condition.
