Salicure 17 Ointment is a combination of salicylic acid and urea. Salicylic acid is a keratolytic medication. It reduces oil production in the skin, sloughs away dead skin cells, replenishes the skin, and keeps the pores open. Urea provides hydration to smoothen skin's texture and helps reduce the buildup of dead skin cells.
