In a word, “potency”. The locoid is a nonfluorinated cortisone product, and is rated as a low potency cream. The clobetasol is a fluorinated cortisone product, and rated as a strong cream. Having said that, you certainly wouldn’t ever want to apply the strong one to the face, as it can damage the skin there, causing atrophy and bruising, and if used around the eyes, cause glaucoma. On the other hand, if the problem is on a thicker body part, then the Locoid probably would be too weak to cause any benefit.
