The main active ingredient is 1% Clotrimazole which is an anti-fungal medication. The inactive ingredients act to deliver soothing relief from skin irritation. However, a combination of essential oils like sweet almond oil and jojoba oil may be more effective soothing agents. There is also a lack of anti-bacterial and antiseptic agents like manuka oil and tea tree oil.
Dosage Instructions
It is recommended by the manufacturer that you wash the affected area and dry it thoroughly. Apply a very thin layer on the affected area, once in the morning and once in the evening. Use Walgreens Clotrimazole every day for 4 weeks. If the ringworm does not disappear after 4 weeks or if irritation occurs, consult a doctor.

Summary Of Our Walgreens Clotrimazole Review
There are a few things to like about Walgreens Clotrimazole. It contains an anti-fungal ingredient which aids in the treatment and prevention of most ringworm. The instructions on how to use it are very clear and straightforward. There is however a few things we do not like about the product. There is a lack of combination of essential oils like sweet almond oil and jojoba oil, which may be more effective soothing agents. There is also a lack of anti-bacterial and antiseptic agents like manuka oil and tea tree oil. The manufacturer’s website only holds 5 customer reviews. The one negative review stated that the product did not make any difference for them. Amazon has no reviews about the product. Due to these concerns about the ingredients and the effectiveness of the product, we recommend looking for an alternative ringworm product which will prevent the fungus from reoccurring and have a soothing effect. We do not recommend Walgreens Clotrimazole.
