It helps to decrease antigen/IgE-mediated production of inflammatory mediators of the level of pro-inflammatory cytokines and biogenic amines (histamine and serotonin) in skin cells. Causes reduction of skin manifestations of allergic reactions in hypersensitivity to various allergens. Suppresses the inflammatory response in response to skin irritants in contact dermatitis. It reduces skin inflammation and itching in allergic dermatitis in the acute phase of the disease.

Inhibits free radical oxidation processes in pathologically changed skin cells, preventing their damage and death, stimulating the production of antioxidant protective factors of cells.

Stimulates the proliferation of keratinocytes, fibroblasts and endothelial cells, facilitating the regeneration of damaged skin. It accelerates wound healing and stimulates cellular and humoral (tissue) defense factors.

The systemic effects are negligible due to limited absorption through the skin
