Women want to look their best at this important time in their lives, so it's crucial to determine which products and ingredients are safe to use during pregnancy.

Except for the two prescription molecules, hydroquinone (which has a relatively high systemic absorption rate) and tretinoin (for which the evidence is limited and controversial), skincare products act locally and produce minimal systemic levels. In most cases, women can deal with skin conditions without compromising the safety of their unborn children.

No DermExcel™ product contains hydroquinone or tretinoin. These active ingredients are only available by prescription from a medical doctor.

DermExcel™ Retinol serum contains an active ingredient very similar to tretinoin. We, therefore, advise customers to discontinue the use of Retinol serum until after pregnancy.

For more information regarding the use of DermExcel™ products during pregnancy, please consult your medical practitioner.

As a precaution, it is generally recommended that pregnant women consult with their healthcare provider before using any new medication or product. The healthcare provider can help evaluate the potential risks and benefits of using the product during pregnancy and determine the most appropriate course of treatment.

Follicure™ Scalp Treatment is typically safe for most skin types, including sensitive skin. Still, it's always best to patch-test a new product before applying it to a larger area, especially if you have a history of sensitivity or allergies. If you have any concerns or experience any adverse reactions, it's best to discontinue use and consult with a healthcare professional or a dermatologist.

Normal initial reactions may include mild stinging.

Don't use Follicure™ Scalp Treatment if you are allergic to any of its ingredients.

Follicure™ will not fade colored hair.

Follow these tips to minimize the risk of color fading in any circumstance: 

The length of time that Follicure™ needs to be in contact with the skin to be effective can vary depending on the severity of the condition being treated. In general, it is recommended to leave Follicure™ on the skin for a period of time to allow the active ingredients to work. We recommend leaving the Follicure™ on the scalp for 10-20 minutes before rinsing.

It is important to follow the instructions provided to achieve the best results. Leaving the product on the skin for too short a period of time may not allow the active ingredient to penetrate the skin.

Dandruff is a common scalp condition that is characterized by the shedding of dead skin cells from the scalp in the form of white flakes. The pathophysiology of dandruff is not fully understood. Still, it is believed to involve a combination of factors, including an overgrowth of Malassezia yeast on the scalp, an overproduction of sebum, and an abnormal immune response.

Zinc pyrithione and salicylic acid are two active ingredients used to treat dandruff.

Zinc pyrithione works by slowing down the growth of Malassezia yeast on the scalp. This yeast is a normal part of the skin's microbiome, but it can cause inflammation and flaking when it overgrows.

Zinc pyrithione disrupts the yeast's cell membranes, which reduces its ability to reproduce and thrive on the scalp. This helps to reduce the severity of dandruff symptoms, including flaking and itching.

Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid that exfoliates the scalp and removes dead skin cells. It penetrates the skin's pores and dissolves the intercellular glue holding dead skin cells together. This makes it easier for the dead skin cells to be shed from the scalp and reduces the buildup of flakes that contribute to dandruff symptoms.

Together, Zinc Pyrithione and Salicylic acid can be an effective treatment for dandruff by reducing the overgrowth of yeast on the scalp and removing the buildup of dead skin cells.

By addressing the underlying causes of dandruff, these ingredients can help to alleviate symptoms and promote a healthier scalp.

Zinc pyrithione exhibits its antifungal activity against yeast, such as Malassezia, by interfering with various cellular processes. While the exact mechanism of action is not fully understood, research suggests that zinc pyrithione affects the yeast cells in several ways:

Through these combined effects, Zinc pyrithione effectively inhibits the growth of yeast like Malassezia, reducing their presence on the scalp and alleviating dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis symptoms.
