Xtralite Mild Cream belongs to the class of drugs known as anti-acne medications. It is primarily used to treat acne (pimples), and wrinkles. It also provides nutrition to the skin.
Xtralite Mild Cream is a combination of two medications: Azelaic acid and Tretinoin. Azelaic acid is a naturally-occurring aliphatic dicarboxylic acid. It works by inhibiting the growth of susceptible organisms (mainly Propionibacteria Acnes) on the skin surface and inhibits follicular keratinisation thus restricts the development of comedones. On the other hand Tretinoin is a form of vitamin A that loosen and unblock pores in the skin’s surface by reducing the oil secretion in the skin. This prevents the formation of pimples, whiteheads and blackheads.
