In our test, the wart tincture from N1 left a good impression. The product is a good size for easy application. It is a medical product for the treatment of common warts with the ingredient monochloroacetic acid. The acid is said to have a detaching effect on the skin and thus painlessly dissolve the cells containing the wart virus. Depending on the size and thickness of the wart, a single application is sufficient, otherwise the treatment can be repeated every 7 days. Thanks to the spatula applicator , the tincture can be applied specifically to the area to be treated. According to the manufacturer, the effectiveness has been clinically confirmed.
