Description

An effective treatment for common skin and foot warts, Duofilm contains the active ingredients salicylic acid and lactic acid which work together to break down a protein called keratin that forms part of the skin's structure. Over time the affected skin cells will shed revealing healthy skin below.

An effective wart and verucca treatment, Duofilm contains salicylic acid and lactic acid, active ingredients that work together to break down keratin, a protein that forms part of the wart's structure. The lactic acid increases absorption of the salicylic acid by breaking down the skin’s surface. Over time, the affected skin cells will be shed, which can take up to three months. If the treatment successful, the new skin that grows will be healthy. The length of treatment varies depending on the wart's size and how long you've had it.

Directions for use:

    • Apply once daily, using the brush in the pack.
    • It may take 6 to 12 weeks to completely remove your wart.
