The DermExcel Keratosis Pilaris Treatment Pack encompasses a synergistic duo of products designed to address specific facets of Keratosis Pilaris (KP), a condition known for its rough, scaly skin patches.

Firstly, Follicure embodies the antimicrobial power of 2% Zinc Pyrithione. This ingredient is known for its efficacy against Malassezia yeast, often implicated in exacerbating skin conditions, thus providing a targeted approach towards skin cleansing in KP management.

Secondly, the Dermalytic, a potent keratolytic and intense moisturizer, comprises an emollient and occlusive blend supplemented with Glycolic acid, Lactic acid, and Urea. Together, these ingredients help dissolve keratin plugs and moisturize the skin. Glycolic and Lactic acid serve as alpha-hydroxy acids, promoting exfoliation of the skin's outermost layer. Urea acts as a humectant, attracting moisture to the skin and aiding in keratin dissolution.

The DermExcel Keratosis Pilaris Treatment Pack is a comprehensive, multi-pronged solution for KP management. It focuses on reducing keratin plug formation, alleviating inflammation, and restoring skin's natural softness.

Dissolve Keratin Plugs
Dissolve Keratin Plugs

One of the key characteristics of Keratosis Pilaris is the formation of keratin plugs that lead to the appearance of small, rough bumps on the skin. Effective treatment aims to dissolve these keratin plugs.

Prevent Complications
Prevent Complications

Keratosis Pilaris can lead to complications such as skin discoloration and secondary infections caused by scratching. The treatment aims to manage the symptoms effectively to prevent these complications.

Reduce Redness

In some cases, Keratosis Pilaris can cause redness or inflammation in the affected area. The treatment may aim to reduce these symptoms.

Prevention of Recurrence

While Keratosis Pilaris is a chronic condition, the goal of ongoing treatment is to prevent or minimize the frequency of flare-ups.

Maintaining skin hydration can help soften the skin and reduce the appearance of keratosis pilaris by alleviating dryness and minimizing the buildup of keratin that blocks hair follicles.

Since Keratosis Pilaris is caused by a buildup of keratin that blocks hair follicles, one of the main goals is to promote exfoliation. This helps to remove the excess keratin and unclog the hair follicles.

Active Ingredients in your treatment

Glycolic acid

Glycolic acid is highly acclaimed for its remarkable exfoliating and rejuvenating properties. Its small molecular size enables deep skin penetration, fostering efficient exfoliation at the cellular level.

Glycolic acid’s water solubility allows it to penetrate the upper layers of the skin easily. Its primary mechanism of action involves weakening the bonds between dead skin cells, promoting their shedding, and revealing the newer, healthier skin beneath. This process of accelerated cell turnover is instrumental in addressing a range of skin concerns, from aging signs like fine lines and wrinkles to texture irregularities and hyperpigmentation.

Glycolic acid's efficacy extends beyond mere exfoliation. It's also recognized for stimulating collagen production, a crucial protein in maintaining skin's elasticity and firmness. This aspect contributes to its anti-aging benefits. Furthermore, its hydrating properties add to its appeal, as they help increase the skin's capacity to retain moisture, leading to a more supple and vibrant complexion.

Clinical studies have consistently supported glycolic acid's role in improving skin appearance. Research indicates significant improvements in skin texture and pigmentation and the visible reduction of wrinkles and fine lines with glycolic acid.


Physiological Effects

  • Exfoliation: Glycolic acid is a powerful exfoliant. It dissolves the bonds between dead skin cells on the skin’s surface, facilitating their removal and revealing newer, healthier skin underneath.
  • Increased Collagen Production: It stimulates collagen production, which is essential for skin elasticity and firmness. This action helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Enhanced Skin Hydration: Glycolic acid improves the skin's ability to retain moisture, enhancing hydration and a more plump, vibrant skin appearance.
  • Skin Brightening: Removing dead skin cells can brighten the complexion and reduce the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
  • Improved Skin Texture: Regular use of glycolic acid can lead to smoother, more even textured skin, making it beneficial for conditions like keratosis pilaris.
  • Acne Treatment: Its exfoliating properties help in unclogging pores, thereby reducing the occurrence of acne breakouts.

Role in Managing Dermatological Conditions

  • Aging Skin: Glycolic acid is widely used in anti-aging products to reduce signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots.
  • Acne-Prone Skin: It helps manage acne by exfoliating the skin and removing blockage from pores.
  • Hyperpigmentation: It effectively treats hyperpigmentation by accelerating the removal of hyperpigmented skin cells.
  • Textural Irregularities: Glycolic acid can improve skin texture and is beneficial for treating keratosis pilaris and other conditions of rough skin.
  • Sun-Damaged Skin: It helps rejuvenate sun-damaged skin by accelerating cell turnover and collagen synthesis.
