Description
Overview of the medicine
Siodil Sebi Oil Free Lotion is a dermatologically tested, non-comedogenic formulation designed to control excess oil, reduce shine, and prevent acne breakouts. It contains active ingredients like Salicylic Acid, Sulphur, Niacinamide, Tea Tree Oil, and Zinc PCA, which work synergistically to provide sebostatic, keratolytic, and anti-inflammatory effects, leading to clearer, smoother, and healthier-looking skin.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Apply a thin layer to the affected skin areas once or twice daily, or as directed by a physician/dermatologist. Cleanse skin thoroughly before application.
Elderly
No specific dosage adjustment required; use as per adult dosage.
Renal_impairment
No specific dosage adjustment required as systemic absorption is minimal.
How to Take
For external use only. Apply to clean, dry skin. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes. Wash hands after application.
Mechanism of Action
Salicylic acid acts as a keratolytic, exfoliating dead skin cells and unclogging pores. Sulphur has keratolytic and antiseptic properties, helping to dry out blemishes. Niacinamide reduces inflammation, minimizes pore appearance, and improves skin barrier function. Tea Tree Oil offers antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory benefits. Zinc PCA helps regulate sebum production.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Visible effects on oil control and shine reduction may be observed within days; significant improvement in acne may take 2-4 weeks.
Excretion
Primarily removed via skin exfoliation and washing; any systemically absorbed components would be renally excreted.
Half life
Not readily applicable for topical products with minimal systemic absorption. Local effects are sustained as long as applied regularly.
Absorption
Minimal systemic absorption through topical application; primarily acts on the skin surface and within pores. Salicylic acid may be absorbed in small amounts but typically insignificant for systemic effects.
Metabolism
Locally metabolized in skin cells, or minimal systemic metabolism if absorbed.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients (Salicylic Acid, Sulphur, Tea Tree Oil, Niacinamide, Zinc PCA, or other excipients)
- Broken, irritated, or severely damaged skin
- Children under 3 years old (due to salicylic acid content)
Drug Interactions
Systemic medications
Systemic interactions are unlikely due to minimal absorption. However, caution with systemic salicylates in very large application areas might be theoretical but not clinically significant for this product.
Other topical exfoliants/irritants
Concurrent use with other strong topical acne medications, exfoliants (e.g., retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, other salicylic acid products), or abrasive soaps/cleansers may increase skin irritation, dryness, or peeling.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C. Protect from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
Overdose
Over-application may lead to increased skin irritation, redness, dryness, and peeling. If ingested, seek immediate medical attention. In case of excessive topical application, wash off with mild soap and water.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Consult a physician before use during pregnancy or lactation. While systemic absorption is minimal, caution is advised due to salicylic acid content, especially if applied to large areas or for prolonged periods.
