Dalonev

Dalonev is a calcipotriol/ betamethasone combination. Calcipotriol is a vitamin D analogue. In vitro data suggest that calcipotriol induces differentiation and suppresses proliferation of keratinocytes. This is the proposed basis for its effect in psoriasis.Like other topical corticosteroids, betamethasone dipropionate has anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, vasoconstrictive and immunosuppressive properties, however, without curing the underlying condition. Through occlusion the effect can be enhanced due to increased penetration of the stratum corneum. The incidence of adverse events will increase because of this. In general, the mechanism of the anti-inflammatory activity of the topical steroids is unclear. DRetinoid X Receptor (RXR) activity). In addition, trifarotene modulates retinoid target genes (differentiation and inflammatory processes) in immortalized keratinocytes and reconstructed epidermis.

It is especially suitable for face and neck and with proper use of the Dermacolor Camouflage System, skin abnormalities can be easily corrected. Once fixed, it will be waterproof and protect the skin against damaging UV radiation. Can last even under extreme conditions, swimming, heat and physical strain. 
It is available in over 200 highly pigmented shades and are intermixable which gives the make-up a natural appearance when applied correctly.

Dermacort

The cream formulation of Dermacort was developed in order to optimise the release and partition of its active ingredient, hydrocortisone, into the skin which is presented as a saturated or near saturated solution in aqueous propylene glycol, which represents the continuous phase of the emulsion system. It has been shown, by the vasoconstrictor assay on normal skin, that in this environment, a 0.1% concentration of the hydrocortisone is equivalent to the 1% concentration where the drug substance is in suspension. Clinical studies have confirmed that 0.1% Dermacort is equivalent to 1.0% hydrocortisone cream BP/BPC whilst the reduced strength of Dermacort increases the margin of safety.

It also protects the skin through special UV filters neutralising an important trigger in the appearance of rosacea and couperose symptoms.
