Skinoren gel is medicine or cosmetics?...

Cosmetics from drugstore? Medicine? What is "Skinoren"?...
It is cream - gel, white color, easy on texture, containing 15% of azelainovy acid.
It is packed into an aluminum tuba, the volume of 50 ml. My cream is produced by the Bayer company. There are analogs, but they are not available to me on sale.



Recently azelainovy acid gathered popularity in compositions of cosmetics (serums, creams).
Practically each brand of cosmetics respecting itself includes azelainovy acid in the list of the assets.
Than it is so good?
Several years ago I did not know why azelainovy acid is used. It is only of assets to which I paid the smallest attention, even ignored it.
Azelainovy acid is used in the classical scheme of treatment of an acne, post-acne and rozatsea (pink eels). Has antibacterial action, suppressing growth of pathogenic bacteria and preventing development of inflammations.
It works not so quickly as we would like. But it is reliable! Besides, there is no effect of accustoming therefore it can be used constantly or with small breaks.
Azelainovy acid reduces the fat content of skin (dries) and accelerates healing of a post-acne.
Improves a condition of skin at rozatsy, removes redness.
And there is more to come!
As it appeared, azelainovy acid clarifies pigmentation and a melazma.
In addition, renders soft keratolitichesky effect, interferes with formation of black points and the rhythm of cellular updating of skin is restored. Also, optimizes rn skin.
In drugstore where I bought Skinoren, very much were surprised that I am going to use him not from an acne, and for skin lightening. Probably, the classical scheme from dermatologists does not include azelainovy acid. Well, or just the druggist was aware not...

That surprises me
most of all, is the level of concentration, that is % of input of azelainovy acid in conditioning agents. In cosmetics 5-6%, and that to an imensha often meet. Why so it is not enough if working concentration begins from 10%? And in pharmaceutical means of 15-20%.
I used weak means and did not see absolutely any result.
They did not irritate the skin, but also did not improve anything.
At one time I in general refused use of azelainovy acid that is offered by kosmeticheky brands, does not suit me.
Here it is important to find the means which is ideal in all respects: texture, % of input of an asset, shipping skin, price and availability to purchase.
Cream-gel from the Bayer company from 15% of azelainovy Skinoren acid was ideal for me.
And I can buy it in the nearest drugstore without recipe!
Though in many countries it is on sale only according to the recipe. Here each state establishes the rules.
I'm lucky! The price quite adequate (17 euros), packing---a tuba from aluminum without swallowing air inside (contents are not oxidized).
Structure laconic and quite in pharmaceutical style:


Any extracts of plants, oils and any unnecessary additives, like a fragrance.
Everything clearly and simply!
Base from propylene of glycol and emulsifiers with preservatives and active agent.
The input percent is clear and clear too and, the main thing, an asset is there! It is not deception, this pharmaceutical means, medicine, it is possible to tell.
It is important for me---there is no deception with quantity of an asset and a formula in general. Even the most skeptical and pereborchivy will agree that means can be trusted.


As I apply...
There is nothing difficult in application: I look on feelings and a condition of skin at the moment. Drawing frequency depends on it: every other day or in two days.
Nevertheless, the solar and hot climate is enhanced by sensitivity of skin and intolerance of aggressive components.
Two months in a year, during the heat, I am not able to use acid peelings and retinoida. To me it is sick and uncomfortable, a time is open, sweat flows and cosmetics does harm, but not advantage. Therefore only the sedatives light and pleasant.

Azelainovy acid does not cause irritation and peeling. Therefore I apply it and in the summer.
According to researches, azelainovy acid has antioxidant and antiage effect: it oppresses enzyme 5-alpha reductase which is responsible for destruction of fibers of collagen and elastin. Thus, azelainovy acid helps to keep skin elastic and elastic.



In the leaving, I combine Skinoren cream with such assets: hyaluronic acid, vitamin C in stable connections, niatsinamid, even AHA/BHA of acid and even from retinoida.




I use only in the evenings as cream serum, that is, after water serums and before the moisturizing cream.
For me it is the most optimum scheme of drawing assets.
In the afternoon by all means I use funds from SPF.

Cream - Skinoren gel is on friendly terms with my leaving, does not roll down (yet there was never a conflict).
It can be used solo (without a thing another) if oily skin, for example. Or for the most medical effect of an acne or a rozatsea.
As anti-age means, it is possible to put according to my scheme---to layer leaving, from liquid means to dense.
I say one surely: Skinoren cream will work! Give it time.
