WHERE TO BUY
FORMULA
HYDROCORTISONE 1%
Hydrocortisone is a steroid (corticosteroid) medicine that works to temporarily relieve itch and helps reduce inflammation. When skin is irritated a chemical reaction causes blood vessels to widen. After this, the skin can become red, swollen, and itchy. Topical hydrocortisone products like Cortizone-10® stop these reactions and temporarily reduce itching from minor skin irritations.
MENTHYL LACTATE AND ALCOHOL
Menthyl lactate and alcohol provide a cooling sensation when applied directly to the skin while hydrocortisone provides temporary itch relief that lasts for hours.
