Name:

• Brand Name: Saslic Foaming Face Wash 60 ml by Cipla Health Ltd.
• Common Name: Salicylic Acid Foaming Face Wash

Composition: Saslic Foaming Face Wash contains Salicylic Acid IP 1% as its active ingredient. Other key ingredients include Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Hexylene Glycol, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, PEG-12 Dimethicone, Glycerin, PPG-2 Hydroxyethyl Coco Isostearamide, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Citrate, Phenoxyethanol, Methyl Paraben, Tetrasodium EDTA, Perfume, Sodium Hydroxide, and Purified Water.

Uses: This foaming face wash is primarily used for the daily cleansing routine in the treatment and prevention of acne, including blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples. It is particularly effective for individuals with oily and acne-prone skin as it helps to gently exfoliate the skin, remove dead cells, unclog pores, and regulate excess sebum production. It also contributes to enhancing skin clarity, promoting a fresher, smoother, and clearer complexion.

Dosage and Administration: Take two actuations (approximately 1 ml of solution) and gently massage the foam all over the wet face, avoiding the eyes and surrounding areas. Allow it to remain on the skin for 20 to 30 seconds. Rinse thoroughly with water and pat dry. Use twice daily, in the morning and evening, for best results.

Side Effects: Common side effects may include dryness, scaling, skin redness (erythema), sensitivity, and irritation at the site of application. In rare cases, prolonged use may lead to a toxic condition called salicylism. If these side effects persist or worsen, consult a doctor.

Precautions:

• External Use Only: This product is strictly for external use.
• Avoid Contact: Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. If accidental contact occurs, flush thoroughly with water.
• Skin Reactions: Consult a doctor if you experience unusual dryness, redness, or peeling of the skin.
• Varicella Vaccine/Chickenpox: Salicylic acid should be avoided for at least 6 weeks after recovery from chickenpox or receiving the varicella vaccine.
• Drug Interactions: The keratolytic properties of salicylic acid can be enhanced by other topical acne medications or products such as abrasive soaps, alcohol-containing preparations, benzoyl peroxide, resorcinol, sulfur, or topical retinoids, potentially leading to increased skin irritation.
• Hypersensitivity: Contraindicated for individuals with known hypersensitivity to salicylic acid or any other components in the formulation.
• Use in Children: Not recommended for use in children younger than 2 years of age.
• Pregnancy and Lactation: Salicylic acid preparations are best avoided during pregnancy and are contraindicated in lactating mothers as the drug is excreted in breast milk.

What is SASLIC Foaming Face Wash used for and how does it work?

SASLIC Foaming Face Wash is primarily used to manage and prevent acne outbreaks, including blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples. It is specifically formulated for oily and acne-prone skin. Its active ingredient, salicylic acid, works as a keratolytic agent. It penetrates deep into pores to exfoliate dead skin cells, remove excess oil, and unclog pores, which helps to reduce and prevent lesions. The face wash also helps regulate sebum production, cleanses the skin of dirt and grime, and possesses mild anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe irritated skin and reduce redness. Regular use can lead to clearer, smoother, and more radiant skin, and may help minimize dark spots and acne marks.

What is the usual dosage and how should I use it?

Wet your face with water. Take two actuations (approximately 1 ml) of SASLIC Foaming Face Wash into your palm and gently massage the foam all over your wet face, being careful to avoid the eyes and surrounding areas. Allow the foam to remain on the skin for 20 to 30 seconds before rinsing thoroughly with water. Pat your face dry with a clean, soft towel. It is recommended to use the face wash twice daily, in the morning and evening, for best results.

What are the possible side effects of SASLIC Foaming Face Wash?

Common side effects can include dryness, scaling, skin irritation, redness (erythema), stinging, and itching at the site of application. In rare cases, prolonged use might lead to salicylism, characterized by symptoms such as ringing in the ears, nausea, and vomiting. If you experience severe burning, stinging, or significant skin peeling, discontinue use and consult a doctor. Avoid using the product on broken, red, swollen, itchy, irritated, or infected skin.

Is SASLIC Foaming Face Wash safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

SASLIC Foaming Face Wash, which contains salicylic acid, should generally be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding. While some sources suggest topical salicylic acid (especially rinse-off cleansers with less than 2%) might be considered generally safe during pregnancy, there is conflicting evidence, and oral salicylic acid is not advised due to potential risks like hemorrhage in newborns if used in late pregnancy. The drug is also known to be excreted in breast milk and is therefore contraindicated for lactating mothers. Always consult with your healthcare provider before using this product if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Can SASLIC Foaming Face Wash be taken with other medications?

The keratolytic (skin-peeling) properties of salicylic acid can be enhanced by certain other products, which may lead to increased skin irritation. These include abrasive soaps or cleansers, alcohol-containing preparations, and products containing benzoyl peroxide, resorcinol, sulfur, or topical retinoids. Specific topical medications that may interact with salicylic acid include adapalene, alitretinoin, bexarotene, and clascoterone. It's advisable to inform your doctor about all prescription and over-the-counter medications, vitamins, herbal products, and other supplements you are using.

What precautions should be taken while using this face wash?

This product is for external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes (e.g., inside the nose or mouth). If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Consult a doctor if you experience unusual dryness, redness, or peeling of the skin. Salicylic acid should be avoided for at least 6 weeks after recovery from chickenpox or after receiving the varicella vaccine. Using other topical acne medications immediately after or at the same time may cause skin irritation. Additionally, salicylic acid can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight, so using sun protection is recommended. It is not recommended for use in children younger than 2 years of age due to increased absorption risks.

What happens if a dose is missed?

SASLIC Foaming Face Wash is a topical cleanser for daily skincare. If you miss a dose, simply resume your regular twice-daily application with the next scheduled use. There is no specific protocol for a missed dose beyond continuing your routine, as it is not a systemic medication. Consistent use is recommended for optimal results.

How should SASLIC Foaming Face Wash be stored?

Store SASLIC Foaming Face Wash in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. The recommended storage temperature is typically between 10-30 degrees Celsius. Always keep it out of the reach of children.
