HYDROCORTISONE AND HOW IT WORKS
Hydrocortisone is a corticosteroid, a specific type of steroid medication. It works to activate the natural steroids in your skin to reduce redness and itching.1 The maximum strength available without a prescription is 1%.2
Cortisone is a naturally occurring hormone in the body. When you experience stress or disease, your immune system senses a cue to produce and release cortisone into the bloodstream. Corticosteroid creams work to stimulate production of anti-inflammatory proteins and stop production of inflammatory ones.2
