Poreze

Poreze is a brand of medicated talcum powder known for its ability to absorb moisture and soothe skin irritations. It is typically used to help prevent and treat chafed skin, heat rash, and diaper rash. The active ingredients in Poreze often include zinc oxide and starch, which provide a protective barrier and absorb excess moisture. Zinc oxide is a mild antiseptic and astringent that can help to reduce inflammation and promote healing. Starch, usually cornstarch, is a natural absorbent that helps to keep the skin dry and comfortable.

Poreze is available in various formulations, some of which may include added fragrances or specific ingredients for different skin concerns. The powder is applied to the skin, typically after bathing or showering, or as a barrier during activities that may cause friction. It is important to follow the instructions on the product packaging for best results and to avoid inhaling the powder, as this can cause respiratory irritation. While generally considered safe for external use, individuals with known sensitivities to any of the ingredients should exercise caution. Poreze products are widely available in pharmacies and supermarkets.
