• Enzyme induction.
• Enzyme inhibition.
1. Antiseptic
2. Astringents
Agents that precipitate surface proteins but don’t penetrate the cells; affecting
superficial layers only.
They toughen surface making it mechanically stronger and decrease exudation. E.g.;
Tannic acid and tannins, Ethanol, methanol, Mineral astringents (Al and Zn salts).
3. Demulcents
Agents that form soothing film over a mucous membrane, relieving minor pain and
inflammation of membrane. OR Mucoprotective agents. E.g.; Gum acacia, Gum
tragacanth, Glycyrrhiza, Methyl cellulose, Glycerin, Propylene glycol.
1. Demelanizing agents
Hydroquinone, Mequinol, Monobenzone, Azelaic acid, Glycolic acid, Kojic acid, Lactic acid,
Tretinoin.
2. Trichogenic agents
3. Keratolytic agents
Salicylic acid, Urea, Propylene glycol, Podophyllum resin, Fluorouracil, Ingenol mebutate.
4. Anti-seborrheic agents
1. Permethrin
2. Lindane (hexachlorocyclohexane)
3. Malathion
4. Ivermectin
5. Crotamiton
6. Sulfur
7. Benzyl alcohol
8. Spinosad
