How It Works

Clotrimazole, the active ingredient, interferes with fungal cell membrane synthesis. This action leads to increased cell membrane permeability, causing fungal cell contents to leak out, ultimately resulting in fungal cell death and infection resolution.

Apply a thin layer of Candid Dusting Powder to the affected area and surrounding skin 2-3 times daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. Continue use for 1-2 weeks after symptoms resolve to prevent recurrence.
