Oatveen Ultra Cream 400ml

Oatveen Ultra is a topical formulation with improved antimicrobial effect comprising of alfa-hydroxy acids (Glycolic
& Lactic acid), Urea, Salicylic acid & Glycerol for management of hyperkeratotic and scaling skin disorders like ichthyosis, psoriasis, cradle cap, dandruff, keratosis, xerosis among others.

Alpha-hydroxy acids (Glycolic & Lactic acids) reduce the cohesion between the corneocytes & interfere with the bonding between the cells, which causes an increased cell turnover at lower pH.

Urea is a naturally occurring humectant in human skin and it has also been discovered as a barrier-improving substance. The most well-known dermatologic effects from urea is its ability to unfold, solubilize and/ or denature proteins. High concentrations of urea above 10% in creams targeting severe cases ichthyosis and other  yperkeratotic conditions were found to have a pronounced keratolytic effect that made the subjects’ skin soft and pliable.
Salicylic acid is used at low concentrations in the formulation to promote the keratolysis and further strengthen the antimicrobial properties of the cream.
Glycerin ameliorates dry flaky skin by facilitating the digestion of the corneodesmosomes in patients with very dry skin.
Oatveen Ultra also contains Niacinamide & D-panthenol
