Excelerate
A high-potency salicylic acid treatment available in two strengths – 15% and 30%. This efficacious formulation is designed to systematically counteract acne formation by addressing the critical stages of acne development: comedones, bacteria, and inflammation. It maintains a balance in oil secretion, and its unique keratolytic action accelerates the turnover of skin cells, fostering flaking on the epidermis and inside the pores. This process aids in unclogging pores, a fundamental step in acne management.
The powerful antibacterial properties of Salicylic Acid in Excelerate combat acne-causing bacteria, inhibiting their growth and reducing their presence on the skin. This targeted action helps to clear existing acne lesions and prevent the formation of new ones, promoting a clearer complexion. It also down-regulates the inflammatory response associated with acne. Reducing redness and swelling helps soothe the visible signs of inflammation, relieving troubled skin.
Excelerate's dual strengths offer flexibility in treatment options, allowing individuals to choose the appropriate concentration based on their specific needs and skin sensitivity. The 15% strength provides a gentle yet effective approach, while the 30% strength offers a more intensive treatment for stubborn or severe acne.
Excelerate should be used as directed and is recommended for individuals seeking a targeted solution to acne concerns. As with any acne treatment, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or dermatologist to determine the most suitable strength and usage guidelines for your individual skin type and condition.

acne stages and treatment objectives
- The excretion of lipids by the sebaceous glands is controlled hormonally.
- The sebaceous glands are located all over the body but are the largest and most numerous in the face, back, chest, and shoulders.
- These glands become more active during puberty because of increased androgens, particularly testosterone, which spurs sebum production.
- This imbalance between sebum production and secretion capacity leads to a blockage of sebum in the hair follicle, followed by inflammation.
- Hormones continue to affect sebaceous gland activity into adulthood.
- The first stage of acne is called comedogenesis (formation of comedones).
- The exfoliated dead skin cells stick together inside the hair follicle, resulting in a clogged pore or comedone.
- This is caused by several factors, including increased amounts of sebum, inflammation of the sides of the hair follicle preventing the release of the exfoliated keratinocytes, and increased cohesion of keratinocytes.
- Salicylic acid decongests pores by dissolving and extracting dirt, oil, and cellular debris (dead skin cells) in the pores and follicles.
- The keratinocyte plug and sebum provide excellent food sources for bacteria.
- The bacteria invade the comedone and release inflammatory factors that lead to the next stage of acne.
- Salicylic acid inhibits the production of various aspects necessary for bacterial reproduction, such as fibrinogen, fibronectin, and alpha-hemolysis.
- Inflammation continues with increased redness and pus.
- This is clinically detectable as a papule or pustule.
- Continued inflammation may lead to so much inflammation that the hair follicle ruptures and the bacteria and debris are released into the dermis.
- Salicylic acid suppresses pro-inflammatory cytokine expression.
