Acnestal 5.5 Soap

Acnestal 5.5 Soap contains Salicylic Acid 5.5% w/w (medicated soap).

Acne-prone and oily skin, pimples/comedones, mild folliculitis, helps reduce blackheads and whiteheads

Salicylic acid is a keratolytic (beta-hydroxy acid) that loosens and removes dead skin cells and excess oil from pores. This helps unclog pores, reduce comedones, and improve acne lesions over time.

For external use only. Wet skin, apply the soap and lather gently over affected areas for 20–60 seconds, then rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Use once daily initially; may increase to twice daily if tolerated. Avoid eyes, lips and broken/irritated skin; use a light non-comedogenic moisturizer if dryness occurs.

Dryness, peeling, mild burning/stinging, redness, irritation, itching

Stop use and consult a doctor if severe irritation, swelling, blistering or allergy occurs. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes; rinse with plenty of water if contact occurs. Use with caution on sensitive skin, eczema, or very dry skin. Do not use on large areas or under occlusion unless advised by a clinician. If you are allergic to salicylates (aspirin), consult a doctor before use. Keep out of reach of children.

May increase irritation when used with other topical acne agents or exfoliants (benzoyl peroxide, tretinoin/adapalene, other AHAs/BHAs, alcohol-based toners, abrasive scrubs).

Store at room temperature (below 30°C), in a dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep soap in a dry soap dish between uses.
