• They target the outer membrane of bacteria, disrupting its structure.
• This disruption weakens the bacteria, making it susceptible to destruction by the body's immune system.
• The active ingredients interfere with bacterial protein synthesis, preventing them from reproducing and spreading.
• By inhibiting bacterial growth, they help control the infection and promote healing.
