Medicinal Benefits

Xtralite Mild Cream contains Azelaic acid and Tretinoin. Azelaic acid is a naturally-occurring aliphatic dicarboxylic acid. It works by inhibiting the growth of susceptible organisms (mainly Propionibacteria Acnes) on the skin surface and inhibits follicular keratinisation thus restricts the development of comedones. On the other hand Tretinoin is a form of vitamin A that loosen and unblock pores in the skin’s surface by reducing the oil secretion in the skin. It reduces inflammation making acne less visible, less red, and less irritated. Xtralite Mild Cream also helps the skin renew itself and reduces pimple and blackhead formation.
