Valderma

Valderma is an established topical antibacterial and antiseptic medicinal product used primarily for the treatment of skin conditions such as spots, acne, and minor skin infections. It is formulated as a cream or soap and contains two primary active ingredients: **potassium hydroxyquinoline sulphate** (0.2% w/w) and **chlorocresol** (0.2% w/w). Potassium hydroxyquinoline sulphate provides both antibacterial and antifungal properties, while chlorocresol serves as a potent antiseptic and disinfectant. The product works by reducing the bacterial load on the skin's surface, helping to clear existing spots and prevent new ones from forming. Historically associated with major pharmaceutical companies like Roche and Bayer, the brand is currently managed by consumer health specialists such as Optima Consumer Health.
