  • Acne: Salicylic gel is a recommended treatment for acne, helping to clear existing lesions and prevent future breakouts. Its anti-inflammatory properties reduce redness and inflammation associated with acne, while its oil-regulating effects help control sebum production.
  • Folliculitis: Salicylic gel effectively addresses folliculitis, a condition characterized by the inflammation of hair follicles. By inhibiting the growth of bacteria that contribute to folliculitis, the gel helps alleviate symptoms and reduce the occurrence of this skin condition.
  • Blemishes and Scars: Salicylic gel aids in the improvement of skin texture and appearance by promoting cell turnover. Its exfoliating properties gently remove dead skin cells, reducing the visibility of blemishes, acne scars, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
  • Oily skin: Salicylic gel's oil-regulating properties control excessive sebum production, reducing shine and helping prevent clogged pores.
  • Uneven Skin Tone and Texture:: Salicylic gel contributes to the improvement of overall skin tone and texture. Its cell-resurfacing properties enhance skin smoothness, minimize roughness, and refine the appearance of pores, resulting in a more even and refined complexion.
  • Congested Pores: Salicylic Gel is oil soluble and, therefore, able to penetrate the pores to dissolve oil and cell debris to unclog pores.
  • Seborrheic Dermatitis: The oil-controlling properties of Salicylic Gel may be beneficial in treating this condition characterized by flaky, scaly patches on the skin.
  • Psoriasis: Salicylic Gel help soften and remove scales associated with psoriasis due to its keratolytic action.
  • Keratosis Pilaris: Salicylic Gel's exfoliating action reduces the appearance of rough, bumpy skin associated with this condition.

BENEFITS OF SALICYLIC GEL

SALICYLIC ACID TARGETS ALL PHASES OF THE ACNE PROCESS

Salicylic acid is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration or FDA for use in OTC drug products. In addition to being FDA-approved as a safe and effective acne drug product, it is also approved for use in OTC drugs for corn, callus, wart removal, and anti-dandruff drug products.

MODE OF ACTION OF SALICYLIC GEL ON ACNE

Regulate sebum (oil) production and excretion

SALICYLIC ACID; NIACINAMIDE; ZINC PCA; RETINOL

  • 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.

Salicylic acid is oil soluble and penetrates deep into sebum-filled pores.

Prevent dead skin cells and oil build-up in the pores

SALICYLIC ACID; RETINOL

  • The first stage of acne is also known as 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 prevents the release of the exfoliated keratinocytes.
  • Increased cohesion of keratinocytes.

Salicylic acid decongests pores by dissolving and extracting dirt, oil, and cellular debris in the pores and follicles.

Prevent bacterial infiltration

SALICYLIC ACID; NIACINAMIDE; ZINC PCA; RETINOL

  • The keratinocyte plug and sebum are 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.

Down-regulate the inflammatory response

SALICYLIC ACID; NIACINAMIDE; ZINC PCA; RETINOL

  • 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.
  • When severe, this can lead to scarring.

Salicylic acid suppresses pro-inflammatory cytokine expression.

ROSACEA STAGES AND TREATMENT OBJECTIVES

A constant interplay exists among the skin, micro-organisms, and the environment to maintain a delicate balance. Disturbance of this balance negatively influences both the microflora and skin health.

In Rosacea, the micro-environment of the affected skin is substantially altered, resulting in a shift in the proportion or speciation of the resident microflora. Several micro-organisms have been shown to be increased or immuno-reactive in patients with rosacea.

Or skin contains pattern recognition receptors (PPR). These receptors detect harmful bacteria on our skin. When they detect these harmful bacteria, they bind to them and activate an immune response.

Receptors (PPR) don't activate the immune response for normal micro-flora on our skin. Rosacea-prone skin receptors (PPR) are hyper-reactive and/or have decreased tolerance. They have heightened sensitivity and trigger the inflammatory response of normal microbes, leading to the initial signs of rosacea.

NORMAL SKIN
PHASE 1

Healthy skin with a perfect balance between normal microflora and skin receptors.

The function of the receptors (PPR): Detect and bind harmful molecules and activate the immune response. These receptors should not trigger an immune response by binding to normal microflora.

PHASE 1

PPR (receptors) of Rosacea-prone skin bind to normal flora (they are not supposed to) and activate the immune response that causes inflammation.

PPR (receptors) of Rosacea-prone skin is hyper-reactive and sensitive. They can be activated by various environmental agents (fragrance, heat, spicy food, etc.)

PHASE 2
PHASE 3

This inflammatory environment leads to increased leucocyte and cathelicidin expression (anti-microbial peptide), causing certain normal microbes to be eliminated.

With normal flora out of the way, the opportunity arise for the overgrowth of other microbes to fill the space of the eliminated normal flora. The normal microbes' balance gets disturbed.

PHASE 3

Alterations in the micro-flora create a further imbalance that further elevates the inflammation process.

This leads to the worsening of the disease, and symptoms become more severe.

ROSACEA TREATMENT WITH SALICYLIC GEL

SALICYLIC ACID

Anti-inflammatory: Decrease the inflammation process leading to breakouts, redness, and skin damage.
Anti-microbial: Inhibits the production of various aspects necessary for bacterial reproduction.
Keratolytic and Comedolytic: Decongests pores by dissolving and extracting dirt, oil, and cellular debris in the pores and follicles. Disrupts cellular junctions to exfoliate dead skin cells.
Sebum(oil) regulator: Balances sebum levels because lipid or oil-soluble allows it to penetrate deep into sebum-filled pores.
