About Lacsoft 140Gm Cream

Lacsoft 140Gm Cream is used for brighter, more radiant skin complexation. Besides this, it is also used to treat skin problems like acne scars, melasma, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles and photoaging (premature ageing of the skin caused by repeated exposure to UV radiation). Lacsoft 140Gm Cream is derived from milk with an antibacterial, antioxidant,  keratolytic (removes warts and calluses), comedolytic (inhibits the formation of blemishes), and anti-inflammatory activity. 

Lacsoft 140Gm Cream contains Lactic acid, which works by increasing the turnover rate of epithelial cells (cells that line the surface of the skin), eventually helping in peeling the skin and moisturizing the skin. Lacsoft 140Gm Cream acts as an acid exfoliant that softens and dissolves the keratin. Besides this, it also helps to slow down the shedding of skin, thereby allowing the skin to function longer before flaking off.

Use Lacsoft 140Gm Cream as advised by your doctor. Lacsoft 140Gm Cream is only for external (skin only) use. Avoid contact with eyes, eyelids, lips, mouth, and nose. If the medicine comes in contact with any of these areas, rinse with water immediately. Do not use Lacsoft 140Gm Cream on sunburned, windburned, or irritated skin. Common side effects of Lacsoft 140Gm Cream include dry skin, erythema (skin redness), burning sensation, itching, skin irritation, and skin rash.

Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to Lacsoft 140Gm Cream. Let your physician know if you are pregnant, planning to conceive, or a breastfeeding mother. Lacsoft 140Gm Cream can make the skin more sensitive in the sunlight, hence always use sunscreen and protective clothing before you step outdoors.

Treatment of Hyperpigmentation, Wrinkles, Photoaging, Dry skin.

Medicinal Benefits

Lacsoft 140Gm Cream protects the skin from dryness, lightens dark spots and blemishes and the skin even tone and soft. It is a moisturizing agent that forms an oily layer on the top of the skin, hence traps in the water. Thereby moisturizes the outermost layer of skin and makes it smoother and softer. Also, it breaks down a protein known as keratin (that forms part of skin structure), removes dead skin cells and softens skin. Applying directly to the skin gets easily absorbed into the skin and provides excellent moisture to dry, patchy skin areas. It acts as an anti-ageing tool by reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It promotes collagen production, which helps firm the skin. It also plays a major role in lightening age spots. It can lighten hyperpigmentation and decrease age spots and acne scars.

Directions for Use

Apply Lacsoft 140Gm Cream evenly on the affected area. Massage it gently until it gets absorbed completely.
