Benefits of Salex-L Solution
- In Acne
- Salex-L unblocks pores, reduces the bacteria and inflammation behind spots and helps prevent new ones forming. Improvement is gradual over several weeks.
- In Blackheads and whiteheads
- Salex-L clears the blocked pores that form blackheads and whiteheads and keeps new ones from forming.
- In Pigmentation
- Salex-L lightens dark marks left behind by spots, sun exposure or hormonal changes, evening out the skin tone over weeks of regular use.
- In Rough skin
- Salex-L smooths rough, uneven skin by speeding up the shedding of dead surface cells.
- In Skin conditions
- Salex-L treats the skin condition it was prescribed for, relieving itch, redness, dryness or infection so the skin can recover.
- In Skin care
- Salex-L protects, soothes and maintains the skin as part of a daily routine.
How Salex-L Solution works
This medicine combines 2 active ingredients: Salicylic Acid and Lactic Acid. Salicylic Acid unblocks the pores and speeds up the turnover of skin cells, so fewer spots form. Lactic Acid acts on the skin to treat or soothe the condition it is prescribed for.
How to take Salex-L Solution
Use this medicine as your doctor has directed. Follow the dose and the duration written on your prescription.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
Missed dose and overdose
If you miss a dose
Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.
If you take too much
An overdose of this medicine can cause severe irritation when far too much cream is applied; an oral retinoid taken in excess can cause headache, vomiting and liver injury. It is unlikely from skin use; swallowing the preparation may cause stomach upset. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

- Burning or stinging
- Increased sensitivity to sunlight

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

Warnings and precautions
Acne often looks worse for the first two to four weeks before it improves. This is expected — do not stop. Use sunscreen every day. These medicines make the skin burn much more easily. Oral isotretinoin must never be taken in pregnancy — it causes severe birth defects. Reliable contraception and the pregnancy tests your dermatologist requires are essential before, during and after the course. Start with alternate nights and build up, and do not use more than a pea-sized amount for the whole face. Do not combine several strong acne actives at once without advice — the irritation compounds. For external use only, unless the pack says otherwise. Stop if the skin becomes more irritated, and see a doctor if the condition worsens or spreads. Do a small test patch first if you have sensitive skin.
Do not take Salex-L if
Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Oral retinoids are absolutely contraindicated in pregnancy and in anyone who might become pregnant without a pregnancy prevention programme. Topical retinoids are avoided in pregnancy. Not for use on broken or infected skin unless prescribed.
Interactions with other medicines
Do not combine with other peeling agents or with waxing and harsh scrubs. Oral retinoids must not be combined with tetracycline antibiotics. No significant interactions are expected from preparations used on the skin.
How to store Salex-L Solution
Store below 30°C in the original pack, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of the reach of children.
Quick tips for Salex-L Solution
- Apply retinoids at night to clean, dry skin, and moisturise afterwards.
- Give it at least eight to twelve weeks before judging whether it works.
- Do not pick or squeeze spots.
- That is what leaves scars.
- Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin.
- Wash your hands after use.
