■Product Features
●The "triple formula" contains three ingredients - the anti-inflammatory ingredient PVA (prednisolone valerate acetate), the local anesthetic ingredient lidocaine, and the anti-itch ingredient diphenhydramine hydrochloride - to quickly suppress itching and effectively soothe inflammation and swelling.
●It can be used not only against mosquitoes, but also against pests such as ticks, fleas, caterpillars, and centipedes, as well as on areas affected by jellyfish bites that cause persistent itching and inflammation.
●The gel remains on the affected area, allowing the active ingredients to penetrate thoroughly.
■Contains the excellent anti-inflammatory ingredient PVA: PVA (prednisolone valerate acetate) is an anti-drug steroid ingredient that is highly effective against inflammation and swelling.
