Enstilar Cutaneous Foam

Enstilar Cutaneous Foam

The active ingredients in Enstilar Cutaneous Foam are calcipotriol (as monohydrate) and betamethasone (as dipropionate). Enstilar contains a combination of calcipotriol and betamethasone dipropionate. 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. Betamethasone dipropionate is a potent topical corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, vasoconstrictive and immunosuppressive properties, although it does not cure the underlying condition.

Epiduo Forte

Combination of 0.3% adapalene (a retinoid) and 2.5% benzoyl peroxide (an antibiotic and skin-peeling agent) that can decrease the number and severity of acne pimples and promote quick healing of pimples that do appear

Epiduo Gel

Epiduo contains a combination of adapalene and benzoyl peroxide. Adapalene is a retinoid-like compound that is a potent modulator of cellular differentiation and keratinisation and has anti-inflammatory properties. This profile suggests that the cell-mediated inflammatory component of acne is reduced by adapalene. Benzoyl peroxide has been shown to have antimicrobial activity, particularly against Propionibacterium acnes, which is abnormally present in the acne-affected pilosebaceous unit. In addition, benzoyl peroxide has demonstrated exfoliative and keratolytic activities and is sebostatic, counteracting the excessive sebum production associated with acne
