Clinical Proof

Steroid-free Xolegel® Gel was developed and tested specifically to treat seborrheic dermatitis.

Which statement best describes you?

1. "I want something that works fast - with results that last."

In a clinical study, Xolegel Gel proved more effective at relieving symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis and providing longer-lasting results than a leading FDA approved steroid.10

  • 80 percent of patients were symptom free after just two weeks of treatment. 9
  • On average, patients who used Xolegel Gel remained symptom free for up to six weeks after stopping treatment.9
  • Significantly more patients' skin remained clear longer with Xolegel Gel than with a leading prescription steroid treatment.10

Xolegel Gel Patients Get Fast Relief 9

In a recent voluntary survey (n=72), patients reported onset of symptom relief over time.

*Note: This graph reflects the results from these 72 patients, a separate group of patients than described in number one, above.

2. "I want treatment that's proven safe, even with repeat use."

Research shows that Xolegel Gel is safe and generally well tolerated. The FDA has approved the formula for the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis in adults and children 12 years of age and older with a healthy immune system.

  • Xolegel Gel contains the active ingredient ketoconazole, prescribed for over 20 years.14
  • Less than one percent of patients who used Xolegel Gel reported dryness or irritation.9
  • In clinical trials, the most common side effects included headache (one percent) and a temporary burning sensation where applied (four percent).9

3. "I want treatment without steroid side effects."

Xolegel Gel delivers steroid-free treatment. While topical steroids can help reduce the inflammation of seborrheic dermatitis, they do have drawbacks:

  • Common side effects of steroids include irritation, dryness and thinning of the skin, especially if used over time.
  • With steroids, symptoms may return shortly after you stop treatment.

With Xolegel Gel, you avoid all steroid related side effects. Long-term use of Xolegel Gel was demonstrated in a one year clinical trial.
