Uses of Vedasol Gel

Benefits of Vedasol Gel

In Acne

Vedasol SM Gel is used to treat acne, reduce skin blemishes and thus gives you a smoother-looking skin. It reduces swelling, redness around acne and dissolves dead cells that clog your pores. It also reduces excess oil production in the skin and thus help control acne. Vedasol SM Gel usually takes a few weeks to have a noticeable effect so keep using it even if it appears not to be working. This medicine will help improve your mood and uplift your confidence as acne reduces.

In Hyperpigmentation

Vedasol SM Gel helps reduce dark spots due to acne, aging and sun damage. It lightens skin tone and helps restore the normal color of the skin. It makes your skin softer, smoother and look brighter. Vedasol SM Gel also reduces other signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles.

In Melasma

Melasma is a common skin problem that causes dark, discolored patches on your skin primarily on the face. It frequently occurs during pregnancy and menopause. Vedasol SM Gel helps to lighten these dark patches by reducing the production of melanin (natural skin pigment). Vedasol SM Gel lightens skin color and makes it smooth. This helps boost your self-esteem and confidence as your appearance changes. Keep using it for as long as it is prescribed to get the full benefits.

How Vedasol Gel works

Vedasol SM Gel is a combination of two medicines. Salicylic Acid is a keratolytic medication. It treats pimples (acne) by penetrating the skin and killing acne-causing bacteria. It additionally reduces oil production in the skin, replenishes acne-prone skin, and it also keeps your pores open. Mandelic acid removes the skin of dead skin cells, which causes wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and acne. This is how it works to fight acne and other skin problems.
