Before you buy

These products contain defined active ingredients and are intended for a specific condition and a limited course, not for general skincare. Topical steroids in particular vary widely in potency, and the same brand name may exist at more than one strength. Many items here require a prescription. Have a persistent, spreading or recurring skin problem assessed by a registered doctor before starting a medicated topical, and do not use a potent steroid on the face without medical advice.
