- In Rough skin
- Derobin smooths rough, uneven skin by speeding up the shedding of dead surface cells.
- In Hair loss
- Derobin slows hair loss and encourages regrowth by acting on the hair follicles. Results take months of regular use and continue only while it is used.

- Derobin controls the flaking and itching of dandruff by reducing the yeast and inflammation on the scalp.

How to take Derobin Ointment
Use exactly as prescribed. Apply a thin film on affected plaques once daily (often at night) and wash off after the advised contact time; avoid normal skin. Can stain skin/clothes; wash hands after use.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
