Salwagel 20g Gel

Salicylic Acid primarily works by promoting exfoliation and unclogging pores. It achieves this by penetrating the follicles and causing the top layer of skin to shed, effectively breaking down and removing dead skin cells, which helps to prevent the formation of acne and blackheads. Lactic Acid, on the other hand, is a humectant and a gentle exfoliator. It exfoliates the skin by breaking down the substance that holds skin cells together, encouraging cell turnover and revealing fresher, brighter skin. Additionally, lactic acid also helps to hydrate the skin by attracting and retaining moisture. Urea Gel functions as a powerful keratolytic agent, which means it softens and loosens dry and rough skin, allowing easy removal of dead skin cells. This action helps to improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of rough, scaly skin conditions.
