How this Cream Works
Amorolfine contains ‘Amorolfine’, which inhibits the production of a substance known as ‘ergosterol’ in fungi that cause nail infections. Without ergosterol, the fungus cannot thrive. As a result, the fungi that cause infections die.

Medicinal Benefits
Amorolfine is an antifungal cream that is primarily used to treat fungal infections of the nails and skin, such as ringworm, jock itch, and athlete’s foot, as well as seborrhoeic dermatitis (dry, flaky skin on the face, scalp, chest, upper back, or ears) and pityriasis (scaly, discoloured patches on the chest, back, legs, and arms). Fungal cell membranes are necessary for survival because they keep undesired chemicals out of the cells and prevent cell contents from leaking out. Amorolfine creates holes in fungal cell membranes and kills them. As a result, fungal infections are cleared, and the skin is relieved of cracking, burning, scaling, and itching caused by infections.
Directions for Use
