Product Overview
This formulation operates as a “Surface Renewal and Fungistatic System.” It does not just kill fungi; it physically strips away the dead skin where they hide, allowing the active ingredients to penetrate deeper.
Mechanism 1 (The Peeling Agent – Salicylic Acid): A potent Keratolytic. It physically dissolves the intercellular “cement” (desmosomes) that holds dead skin cells together. This sheds the thick, infected outer layer of the skin, exposing the underlying fungi.
Mechanism 2 (The Growth Inhibitor – Benzoic Acid): A Fungistatic Agent. It physically enters the fungal cells and lowers the internal pH, disrupting their metabolic pathways and preventing them from multiplying.
Mechanism 3 (The Synergy): By removing the protective “barrier” of dead skin, Salicylic Acid physically increases the absorption and efficacy of the Benzoic Acid, creating a more hostile environment for pathogens.
