Astringents are a class of locally acting topical agents applied to the skin or mucous membranes to induce a mild, reversible coagulation of surface proteins.
This mechanism precipitates proteins to form a protective barrier, shrink or constrict superficial tissues, diminish capillary permeability, and dry up surface secretions or exudates.
Clinically, astringents—such as aluminum acetate, calamine, and witch hazel—are widely used in dermatology and anorectal care to relieve irritation, pruritus, and oozing associated with acute inflammatory conditions, including plant-induced contact dermatitis, superficial minor burns, and hemorrhoids.
