Product Introduction

Addcure 0.2% Cream contains hyaluronic acid, calendula officinalis oil, almond oil, aloe vera extract, jojoba oil, green tea extract, vitamin E, and peppermint oil. It is a formulated cream used to treat radiation-induced skin damage. Hyaluronic acid protects the fibroblasts (vital in wound healing) from radiation damage and reduces pain associated with radiation dermatitis. Aloe vera neutralizes free radicals, reduces inflammation, and possesses antiseptic and cleansing properties. Calendula officinalis, vitamin E, and green tea extract have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Jojoba oil acts as a soothing agent. Do not use Addcure 0.2% Cream if you are allergic to hyaluronic acid or any of the ingredients. If you notice a rash, discontinue use immediately. Avoid applying on damaged or broken skin and around the eyes. These precautions will help ensure safe and effective use of the cream.
