About Asoft Cream

Asoft 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). Asoft Cream is derived from milk with an antibacterial, antioxidant,  keratolytic (removes warts and calluses), comedolytic (inhibits the formation of blemishes), and anti-inflammatory activity. 

Asoft 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. Asoft 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 Asoft Cream as advised by your doctor. Asoft 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 Asoft Cream on sunburned, windburned, or irritated skin. Common side effects of Asoft Cream include dry skin, erythema (skin redness), burning sensation, itching, skin irritation, and skin rash.

Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to Asoft Cream. Let your physician know if you are pregnant, planning to conceive, or a breastfeeding mother. Asoft Cream can make the skin more sensitive in the sunlight, hence always use sunscreen and protective clothing before you step outdoors. Care should be taken while applying Asoft Cream on sensitive areas, such as the neck. Please limit the use of products that contain large amounts of alcohol (astringents, shaving creams, or after-shave lotions), hair removal products, and products containing lime or spices while using Asoft Cream. 

Uses of Asoft Cream

Treatment of Hyperpigmentation, Wrinkles, Photoaging, Dry skin.

Medicinal Benefits

Asoft 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 Asoft Cream evenly on the affected area. Massage it gently until it gets absorbed completely.

Dry skin: It is a condition in which skin becomes dry and marked by itching, cracking and scaling, especially in winter.
