Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Salicylic Acid 25% In Flexible Collodion is a specialized topical formulation designed for the treatment of various skin conditions. This liquid formulation is intended for external application to the skin, providing a convenient and versatile means of delivering medication, therapeutic agents, or other active ingredients for targeted treatment of various dermatological conditions or localized effects.

The formulation combines salicylic acid, a keratolytic agent known for its ability to break down keratin, a protein that forms part of the skin structure, and flexible collodion, a film-forming agent that helps to seal the medication on the skin. This combination is particularly effective in treating conditions characterized by thickened, scaly skin such as psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, acne, corns, and calluses.

In the treatment of psoriasis, salicylic acid works to reduce the redness, scaling, and itching associated with the condition. For seborrheic dermatitis, salicylic acid helps to alleviate inflammation and flaking of the skin. When used for acne treatment, salicylic acid aids in reducing inflammation and redness. In the case of corns and calluses, salicylic acid works to soften and remove the thickened, scaly skin.

Salicylic Acid 25% In Flexible Collodion is a safe and effective treatment option for these skin conditions when used as directed. It is crucial to follow the directions on the label and to use the medication as directed by your healthcare provider. If you have any questions about this formulation or how to use it, please reach out to your healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance.
