Description
Saliac Foaming Face Wash is a medicine that contains salicylic acid. It is used to treat acne (pimples, whiteheads, blackheads on the skin caused by bacteria). It unplugs the blocked skin pores to allow warts to shrink. It also works by softening and loosening the dry, scaly, or thickened skin, causing shedding of the outer layer of the skin. This kills microbes, clears out skin issues, and helps in the recovery of the skin.
Saliac Foaming Face Wash can cause some side effects like whitening of the skin, skin rashes, peeling of the skin and irritation at the site of application. Consult your doctor if these side effects persist or worsen. Avoid contact with your eyes, nose and, mouth. In case of accidental contact, rinse thoroughly with water. Avoid using this medicine if you are allergic to it.
Saliac Foaming Face Wash is meant for external use only. Clean the affected area with water, apply the face wash uniformly and form a lather. Allow it to stand and then wash it with water. You should use this face wash as directed by your doctor.
Saliac Foaming Face Wash is generally safe for use. However, to ensure its safety, let your doctor know of any skin conditions or any medications. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or are breastfeeding before using this medicine.
