Kowa Unacowa Ace G (Gel)

● Features
Unacowa Ace G is a gel-type anti-itch treatment that works effectively on insect bites from mites, caterpillars, centipedes, and others that cause strong inflammation and intense itching.
■ Product Features
● Contains a 'triple formula' of three active ingredients: anti-inflammatory PVA (prednisolone valerate acetate ester), local anesthetic lidocaine, and anti-itch diphenhydramine hydrochloride, which quickly suppress itching and effectively reduce inflammation and swelling.
● Can be used not only for mosquito bites but also for bites from pests such as mites, fleas, caterpillars, centipedes, and jellyfish stings, which cause persistent itching and inflammation.
● The gel stays on the affected area, allowing the active ingredients to penetrate thoroughly.
■ Contains excellent anti-inflammatory ingredient PVA: PVA (prednisolone valerate acetate ester) is an antedrug-type steroid ingredient that shows excellent effects on inflammation and swelling.
