How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (DERMA-SMOOTHE/FS). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

Corticosteroids play a role in cellular signaling, immune function, inflammation, and protein regulation; however, the precise mechanism of action in psoriasis of the scalp is unknown.

How the body breaks it down

Once absorbed through the skin, topical corticosteroids are metabolized, primarily in the liver, and are then excreted by the kidneys.
