INFORMATION
SALIPEEL DS 60ml is a specialized peel designed for use in sensitive skin types and higher phototypes. It is formulated to target acne and hyperkeratotic conditions, making it a versatile product suitable for dermatological treatments of various skin conditions. Its unique composition ensures effectiveness while minimizing irritation, making it ideal for those with sensitive skin.
SALIPEEL DS Composition
SALIPEEL DS contains 30% salicylic acid as its primary active ingredient. This high concentration of salicylic acid provides a powerful exfoliating effect, allowing the peel to effectively treat conditions such as acne and hyperkeratotic lesions. The peel uses macrogol (polyethylene glycol) as its base vehicle, which plays a key role in its suitability for sensitive and higher phototype skin.
- Active Ingredient: 30% salicylic acid
- Vehicle: Macrogol (polyethylene glycol)
- pH: Less than 1.0, which enhances its exfoliating power while minimizing irritation.
SALIPEEL DS Indications for Use
SALIPEEL DS is recommended for:
- Active acne, particularly in sensitive skin and higher phototypes.
- Hyperkeratotic conditions such as psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis.
- Acne scars, where exfoliation helps to smooth and regenerate the skin surface.
- Prevention and treatment of further acne outbreaks by reducing oil buildup and unclogging pores.
SALIPEEL DS Usage Instructions
SALIPEEL DS should be applied following a thorough cleansing of the skin to ensure optimal results. The recommended protocol is as follows:
- Cleanse the Skin: Use a gentle cleanser such as Sensyses Classic Cleanser to remove impurities.
- Degreasing Solution (optional): Apply a degreasing solution if necessary to ensure complete removal of oils.
- Protect Sensitive Areas: Apply a moisturizing skin protector, such as Silkses Moisturising Skin Protector, to sensitive areas like the lips and nostrils.
- Peel Application:
- Measure 2-3 ml of SALIPEEL DS and pour it into a glass bowl.
- Apply a uniform layer of the peel to the face using gentle strokes.
- The end point is reached when a white mask appears on the face, indicating the effectiveness of the peel.
- Neutralization: Neutralize the peel with Neutralizing Lotion once the white mask forms, ensuring that the peel does not exceed its intended duration.
- Sealing (Optional): You may seal the treatment by applying a sealer for 6-8 hours if desired.
- Post-Treatment: Cleanse the face using a soap-free cleanser to prevent irritation and dryness.
SALIPEEL DS Precautions and Side Effects
As with all chemical peels, precautions should be taken to avoid overuse and irritation. SALIPEEL DS has been designed to minimize the risk of irritation, but it is essential to:
- Limit usage to sensitive and higher phototype skin types.
- Ensure no more than 2-3 ml of the product is used during a single application to avoid over-exfoliation.
- Neutralize the peel with the Neutralizing Lotion to stop the exfoliating process.
Potential side effects include:
- Mild erythema (redness)
- Temporary flaking or peeling of the skin
- Mild dryness or irritation in sensitive individuals
These side effects are typically mild and resolve within a few days. If the irritation persists, it is recommended to apply a gentle moisturizer to soothe the skin.
Key Benefits of SALIPEEL DS
- Powerful Exfoliation: The 30% concentration of salicylic acid provides deep exfoliation, making it effective in treating acne and hyperkeratosis.
- Gentle on Sensitive Skin: Despite its high exfoliating power, SALIPEEL DS is formulated with a macrogol base to reduce irritation and make it suitable for sensitive skin types.
- Broad Use Case: It is versatile enough to be used for both active acne and conditions like psoriasis, providing a solution for patients with a range of dermatological concerns.
- Phototype Compatibility: Designed for use on higher phototype skin (Fitzpatrick Types IV-VI), making it effective for those with more melanin in their skin.
SALIPEEL DS Real-World Outcomes
In clinical settings, SALIPEEL DS has shown to be effective in reducing the incidence of acne breakouts and improving the appearance of acne scars. Over multiple sessions, patients typically see a significant reduction in hyperkeratotic conditions, with smoother, more even skin texture.
Results from dermatologists’ feedback include:
- Reduction in Active Acne: A majority of patients experience a noticeable reduction in acne within 2-3 sessions, with fewer breakouts and clogged pores.
- Improved Skin Texture: The exfoliating effects of salicylic acid help smooth the skin surface, improving both acne scars and rough, hyperkeratotic areas.
Minimal Downtime: The use of macrogol minimizes irritation and redness, allowing patients to return to their daily activities with little to no downtime.
