How zitcare-s gel works
Zitcare-S 1% Salicylic Acid Gel works as a keratolytic agent (a substance that promotes the shedding of the skin's outermost layer) that helps loosen and remove the outer, thickened layer of the skin. It breaks down the material that holds dead skin cells together, allowing scales to shed more easily. This softens rough, thickened skin and helps restore a healthier skin surface in hyperkeratotic skin disorders.

Expert advice FOR Zitcare-S Gel
- Apply Salicylic Acid only to the affected areas of thickened or scaly skin, and avoid spreading it onto normal skin to reduce irritation.
- Wash and gently hydrate the skin before application, as slightly moist skin helps the medicine work better.
- Use only the amount needed to cover the affected area; applying more will not speed up results and may increase side effects.
- Avoid covering the treated area with tight bandages or occlusive dressings unless your doctor specifically advises it, as this can increase absorption.
- Wash your hands after applying the product, unless your hands are the area being treated.
- If excessive dryness, redness, or peeling occurs, reduce the frequency of application or use a bland moisturiser to soothe the skin.

Q. Can Zitcare-S 1% Salicylic Acid Gel be used on large areas of the body?
