1.5% Salicylic Acid + 4% Nicotinamide, Salyzap Day Time Gel for Acne Prone Skin

Backed by Science

Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid which is traditionally used in the treatment of acne. It’s well-known for reducing acne by exfoliating the skin and keeping pores clear.

Although salicylic acid is considered safe overall, it may cause skin irritation to certain people. It may also remove too much oil, resulting in dryness and potential irritation. Other potential side effects include skin tingling or stinging, itching and peeling skin.

Countering these side effects of the conventional salicylic acid treatment, Salyzap day time gel is a step ahead formulation backed by science. Packed with well-researched actives, this gel effectively treats the acneic skin conditions without imparting any ill-effects to the skin.

Directions for Use

• Apply as a spot therapy on the acne every morning after cleansing with Salyzap daily cleanser. Allow 1-2 minutes before layering with other serums or moisturizers.
• Although it shows significant results within days, but it is suggested to keep using it for at least a week after clearing of acne to ensure its full effect.

SALICYLIC ACID is a tried-and-true ingredient for getting rid of blackheads, whiteheads, and excess oil—and keeping them gone. A beta hydroxy acid penetrates follicles to break down oil build-up, reducing and preventing pore blockages.

Salicylic acid is famed for its spot-fighting powers, but a Salyzap day time gel will actually do much more than shrink down an angry spot. A keratolytic agent, salicylic acid reduces the pH of skin and increases hydration as well as the process of desquamation (the shedding of dead skin cells).

NICOTINAMIDE in a therapeutic concentration of 4% effectively controls facial acne. Nicotinamide is well tolerated ingredient which reduces sebum production with significant differences in facial shine and oiliness.

Anti-inflammatory properties of nicotinamide might have contributed to its success in acne.
