TERSI FOAM...
TERSI FOAM (selenium sulfide 2.25%): treating and repairing the natural skin barrier with each application.1
TERSI FOAM is the first selenium sulfide leave-on foam for the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis and tinea versicolor. TERSI FOAM, using the cosmetically elegant Proderm Technology,™ allows for convenient application to any affected area, especially hairy areas.1
In seborrheic dermatitis, Malassezia degrades the sebum, making it acidic.2 This acidic sebum leads to a breakdown of the natural skin barrier in patients with an existing predisposition.3 In response, the skin reacts with inflammation, flaking, and redness.
TERSI FOAM reduces the Malassezia population and replenishes the physiological lipids in the skin, thereby repairing and strengthening the natural skin barrier to promote healing.1 The unique foam formulation is cosmetically elegant, clean and non-greasy, enhancing application in hairy areas.
