Salicylix (50 gm)

Description

Salicylix 6% Cream (50 gm) & Salicylix SF 12% Ointment

Product Overview
Salicylix is a topical dermatological medication available in different strengths for the treatment of psoriasis, hyperkeratotic skin disorders, corns, calluses, warts, and conditions involving excessive skin scaling and thickening. The formulations help soften, loosen, and remove thickened skin while promoting the shedding of dead skin cells. Salicylix products are commonly prescribed to improve skin texture and manage chronic skin conditions characterized by scaling and plaque formation.

Available Variants

• Salicylix 6% Cream (50 gm) – Suitable for mild to moderate hyperkeratotic skin conditions and scaling disorders.
• Salicylix SF 12% Ointment – Higher-strength formulation designed for thicker plaques, severe scaling, and stubborn hyperkeratotic lesions.

Active Ingredient

• Salicylic Acid 6% w/w
• Salicylic Acid 12% w/w

Salicylic Acid belongs to a class of medications known as keratolytic agents.

How It Works
Salicylic Acid works by breaking down keratin, a protein that forms part of the skin structure. This action softens and loosens thickened, scaly skin, allowing dead skin cells to shed more easily. It also helps improve the penetration of other topical medications when used as part of combination therapy for skin disorders.
