Salicylic acid is known primarily for its keratolytic and comedolytic properties. An application of high concentrations produces a white epidermolisis on papules, pustules and comedones within minutes of application. Often the cover of the pustules is broken, allowing the acid to take action from the epithelium of the follicle towards the sebaceous gland.
It also has anti-inflammatory (inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandin), Anti itching, antiseptic, antimicrobial (reduces Propionibacterium acne), astringent, anti aging (accelerates the removal of corneocytes), photo protective (has derivatives that absorb RUVB) and antiepidermoplastic properties.
It is a safe peeling that does not carry risk of burns, especially with the formulas that have hydro alcoholic vehicles, because they evaporate quickly and after the crystallization or drying, there is no further penetration of active agents. All peelings within this family contain salicylic acid between 25-30 % and a pH between 1.5 and 2.0.
Hydroalcoholic solution: penetrates quickly, producing a sharp burning sensation that lasts a couple of minutes. The evaporation of the alcohol occurs rapidly, giving the result (the appearance of a white mask of a white resulting from the crystallization of SA). Indications
Acne, acne scars, solar keratosis, flat warts, psoriasis (including the scalp)
Formulated with a new vehicle (Macrogol or polyethylenglycol) that makes it suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive and irritable (dark skin). Its presentation in gel lets it penetrate the skin slowly preventing the burning sensation. Indications
Dark and sensitive skin.
Contains salicylic acid and 15% azeliac acid. The azeliac acid enhances the sebum regulation and bactericide effects.
Hydro alcoholic solution. Indications
For skin that is accustomed to salicylic acid. Body treatments (follculitis, acne, psoriasis ...)
Application
After cleaning, degreasing the skin and protecting sensitive areas, apply the peeling with a swab from least sensitive areas of the face to the most sensitive (forehead, cheeks, submaxillary regions, chin, upper lip and nose).
The depth of peeling is not related to the time of contact on the skin, but with the number of layers, the amount of solution used and the time it takes to apply:
Salipeel Suave (mild)
- Apply Salipeel with gauze soaked with a small amount of peeling solution. Apply quickly in 10 - 15 seconds, without applying pressure, over the whole area to be treated to ensure uniform application.
- Contact time is recommended in general for about 2 to 3 minutes. Endpoint: after the formation of a white mask.
- Fan the area to relieve the burning sensation, and quickly dry the solution vehicle.
Salipeel Fuerte (strong)
- Apply Salipeel with gauze soaked with abundant quantities of the peeling solution. Apply it slowly in 15-30 seconds, while applying some pressure over entire area to be treatment area.
- Contact time: in General it is recommended for about 2 to 3 minutes. Endpoint: formation of white mask.
- Do not fan or ventilate despite the stinging sensation.
Wash thoroughly with gauze soaked in water to remove the formed mask. The neutralization or washing of Salipeel is only an aesthetic issue, therefore, if applied in a less visible area (scalp, for example), it is not necessary to perform this step.
NOTE: The only presentation that needs to be washed away by its gel texture is the Salipeel slow action after 5-10 minutes of contact with the skin.
