Mechanism of Action
COAL TAR
It works by causing the skin to shed dead cells from its top layer and slow down the growth of skin cells
MENTHOL
Menthol primarily activates the cold-sensitive trpm8 receptors in the skin. Menthol, after topical application, causes a feeling of coolness due to stimulation of 'cold' receptors by inhibiting ca++ currents of neuronal membranes. It may also yield analgesic properties via kappa-opioid receptor agonism
