Pharmacy ointments for wrinkles, reviews from cosmetologists

It's not that I believe in miracles. But there are still better creams than others that improve skin tone. I’m 39 years old, my face has swollen over the last two years, and I’m expecting my third child, I’m taking a break from Botox. Price - I don’t care if it’s some kind of “Polyushko” for 3 rubles or something luxury. There is no time to place an order.
Share which anti-wrinkle cream works at least a little!
I tried Clinique, Clarens, Lancome. I didn’t find any difference from the mass.

Prevage by Elizabeth Arden. Of course, it’s not a magic cure, but I noticed visible improvements. although it seems to me that if it’s already, as you say, “floated”, then only a contract will help.

Ask Proklova.)))))

Retinoic ointment at night (retinol is practically the only topical product that can fight wrinkles) and sunscreen during the day (90% of wrinkles are caused by the sun). Whatever you want, there are only a few SZ filters - titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, avobenzone and tinosorb, SPF not lower than 15. In general, I liked Olei lotion - competent composition and light texture.

A month ago I discovered a cream from Nevskaya Cosmetics - grape, I don’t know how much it costs, I think it’s not expensive. In general, it leaves the skin moisturized and smooth. To be honest, I didn’t expect it at all when I tried it at my mother’s. The effect and sensations can be compared with Givenchy vibes.

retinoic ointment seems to treat acne, and wrinkles

Tanya 32, shaking hands. At least someone is thinking with their head. Sunscreen and retinoids (tretinoin, isotretinoin). These are the only two things that help in the fight against wrinkles. You don't have to make a special choice.

I just read about this ointment on the internet and ran to the pharmacy.

retinoic ointment seems to treat acne, and wrinkles

I like La Mer concentrate and serum. Expensive, annoying, but effective.

The face has swollen - these are no longer wrinkles, but ptosis. There is no cream for sagging. During pregnancy, there is little you can do - massage for now, gymnastics for the facial muscles.

Retinol or vitamin A is the main fighter against old age; it is this vitamin that helps cells renew themselves.
There is nothing easier than buying retinoic ointment at the pharmacy and starting to use it, instead of the newfangled anti-wrinkle cream.
This ointment evens out the complexion, fights acne and various inflammations on the skin, tightens pores, smoothes out wrinkles, everything that expensive branded cosmetics offer us
But there is one very important condition: retinol does not tolerate sunlight and only acts at sunset. The best time to apply it is from 20-22.00 during this period all the substances in which it is rich work to the maximum
Use this ointment twice a year in autumn and spring, for three weeks, and the result will not be long in coming
Contraindicated for pregnant women and allergy sufferers.

10, but I am a pregnant woman :-)

And I really like La Prairie. One of the few creams that works.

What creams! You need a course of massage, but the cream is just decent and buy a course of masks

Yes, a suitable cream is selected by trial and error, and the price does not always correspond to the result, probably every woman has been convinced of this.

I can only tell you a funny incident. An 85-year-old granny, wrinkled like a turtle, asks in the store: “Do you have anti-wrinkle cream?” I saw this myself.
My mom always makes an egg white mask whenever she goes out. The skin is smoothed, pores are tightened and the skin looks good.

Mom uses Absolue L▓Extrait. she likes it, her skin has become better.

I love the “clean line”, although I can afford to buy a top-class cream, but the clean line suits me surprisingly.

How they love to recommend this retinoic ointment to everyone... they’ve found a panacea. And as they already said, pregnant women can’t use it, even to plan a pregnancy you need to wait at least a month after stopping retinol, because it tends to accumulate, and then the skin becomes thinner from retinol , the stratum corneum is thin, the skin is vulnerable, and summer is coming, the sun is coming, sunscreen is a must, otherwise, hello pigmentation. And no one uses cream with retinol in the summer, it’s better in the fall.

Make the ointment under proper conditions. cifazalin parashok and dilute in your regular face cream and apply to problem areas, garlic, it works

You can buy a real Swiss hyaluronic booster for 2600. This is more than the right alternative to injections that are fashionable today.
You can use Swiss masks to restore your skin; at least you won’t harm yourself or your facial skin in any way:

You can also use the complex (serum with cream and the cream itself - used ONLY TOGETHER!!) from the "Skin Radiance" line and eliminate fine expression wrinkles in a 4-week course of use.

At the age of 39, the intensive line “black caviar” is already quite relevant, but the cream should be applied ONLY TO THE SERUM, which is precisely applied BEFORE applying the cream: Since this is not an online store, not everything is posted on the site, please keep this in mind.

But absentee “diagnosis” is not only a thankless task, but also harmful. It’s better to call and get an individual consultation, or it’s smarter to come in person and, under the patronage of a specialist, try this or that drug, and then make an informed decision yourself.

Hostretinoic ointment seems to treat acne, and wrinkles
Isn't it harmful? It thins the skin. Me my colleague. the plastic doctor said.

American cosmetics nourish the skin very well, in particular the serum based on aloe vera is good, the blood supply to the skin and aloe cream improves deep hydration and aloe balance. I use it myself, my friends noted that the skin is not as thin and transparent as before

I really, really like the Korres Greek cosmetics cream, I bought it to try at the airport in Stambley, I didn’t even expect it to be so suitable. And apply any cream on the tonic or on the face moistened with mineral water. First, water on a sponge, then cream. Tell me, but it’s almost impossible to be patient, now wait a little and the skin will be nourished on its own and everything will be fine.

Make sure that the retinoid cream does not contain alcohol, the skin will dry out. Initial concentration 0.025

The cream requires adaptation. I wouldn't do this before the summer - start in the fall.

Oh, I missed that you are pregnant. No way for you)

Yes, right now a pregnant woman can’t do anything at all and there’s no point in anything other than protection from the sun then.

When age takes its toll and age-related changes on the face become more and more noticeable, you can try to slow down this process by using modern cosmetology, for example, effective inexpensive pharmaceutical products - creams for wrinkles on the face.

Benefits of pharmacy creams and ointments

Pharmacy products that are purchased for body and face care can be developed for completely different purposes and cost much less than popular anti-wrinkle creams developed by advertised professional cosmetic brands.

However, this does not make them any less effective. Their advantage is determined by the characteristics of their composition: they contain useful vitamins and substances that can heal and nourish.

Anti-wrinkle creams sold in pharmacies without a prescription

Anti-wrinkle creams from pharmacies have an effect on the deep layers of the epidermis, since their texture is very light and the composition is quickly absorbed into the skin.

Using pharmacy creams and ointments, you can:

  1. relieve any inflammation;
  2. strengthen the hydrolipid mantle of facial skin;
  3. accelerate cell regeneration;
  4. save your budget on visiting salons and purchasing other products;
  5. get quick and noticeable results;
  6. ensure 100% safety for facial skin.

To exclude an allergy to the drug, a test is performed by applying a drop of cream to the wrist and waiting 10 minutes. If there is no reaction in the form of itching or redness, you can apply the ointment to your face.

Libriderm

This drug exists in several forms: nourishing cream and eye cream.

They contain vitamins, minerals, vegetable oils, hyaluronic acid and saturated acids.

  1. Thanks to the content of vitamins A and E, facial skin remains youthful for as long as possible.
  2. Hyaluronic acid nourishes the skin with moisture.

The nourishing cream softens, nourishes and moisturizes the skin, gives the face a vigorous appearance, and slows down the aging of the skin. You need to use it every day. When used regularly, eye cream will help improve skin elasticity and fill out crow's feet.

Based on the reviews, most women are satisfied with the effect of using Libriderm. The average cost of face cream is 650 rubles.

Hydrocortisone ointment

This product contains hydrocortisone acetate. It helps improve skin quality. The ointment inhibits the aging process and is “Botox without injections.” Since this drug is hormonal, it cannot be used without consulting a doctor, otherwise it can harm the skin and lead to atrophy.

It is recommended to use the ointment for no more than 2 weeks in a row. It is best to take a break after 1 week so as not to cause the skin to become addictive.

Women in their reviews say that the product can cause an allergic reaction or cause hair growth, since it is hormonal. Some were actually able to get the expected result, but the ointment did not suit everyone. The cost of the ointment varies from 35 to 45 rubles.

Salicylic ointment

Salicylic ointment is best used in the fight against fine wrinkles. Salicylic acid penetrates deep into the skin, burns damaged cells, and then opens pores. Salicylic acid works best in combination with other drugs, such as glycerin.

Judging by the reviews, women are happy with this ointment, and it really has a rejuvenating effect, but only when wrinkles have just begun to appear. The cost of salicylic ointment in a pharmacy is less than 30 rubles.

Heparin ointment

The ointment is not intended to combat wrinkles. It reduces blood clotting and fights the formation of blood clots. The product contains heparin.

Also included:

These components nourish the skin, protect it, moisturize and smooth it, and also eliminate swelling, so the ointment can be used to get rid of wrinkles. During application, heparin penetrates deep into the skin, then the remaining components begin to act, due to which wrinkles are evened out, the skin is nourished with useful substances, and the complexion improves.

In their reviews, women complain of redness of the skin after using this drug, so it is best to use it as prescribed by a doctor. If the desire to try this ointment is great, then you need to use it before bed so that the redness goes away overnight. Heparin ointment in a pharmacy costs no more than 100 rubles.

Retinoic ointment

With its help you can increase skin elasticity and get rid of wrinkles. The composition of retinoic ointment includes isotretinoin, and the excipients are petroleum jelly, water, glycerin, ethyl alcohol, dibunol and butyloxyanisole.

Isotretinoin is considered a form of vitamin A. Vitamin A accelerates skin regeneration, regulates skin oiliness, fights flaking and treats inflammation. The ointment should be used after 30 years. Thanks to it, the upper layers of the skin are renewed and collagen synthesis is activated.

It is better to use the ointment no more than 3 times every 7 days after washing, after 20 minutes. If the skin does not become irritated and red, you can increase the intensity of use of the ointment. It can replace night cream.

The course of using retinoic ointment should not exceed 12 weeks. The most optimal duration of use is 8-9 weeks.

While using the ointment, you should not go to the solarium or sunbathe. It is also prohibited to wipe the skin with alcohol or apply scrubs. Many women write in their reviews that retinoic ointment is very effective, so you can safely use it in the fight against wrinkles, but it is important to ensure that you do not overdo it with its use, since this is a medicinal product.

The cost of the drug in pharmacies varies from 250 rubles to 450.

Zinc ointment

The active ingredient of the ointment is zinc oxide. Additional substances are petroleum jelly and lanolin.

Thanks to zinc oxide, collagen production is stimulated, so the skin becomes elastic and wrinkles are smoothed out. The ointment also protects against ultraviolet rays, which are one of the main causes of skin aging.

The drug should be applied to the skin no more than 3 times in 7 days. You can use it for 3 weeks, no more. Next, you need to take a break for 30 days, after which the course is allowed to be repeated.

Women in the reviews say that the ointment is effective and wrinkles really disappear, but it is better to apply the composition in combination with a moisturizer, since zinc ointment dries out the skin. The cost of zinc ointment in pharmacies is no more than 100 rubles. The average price is 77 rubles.

Bepanten

An anti-wrinkle cream in a pharmacy called Bepanten contains vitamin B5. This vitamin restores the skin from the inside. When using Bepanten, you can achieve rapid healing of wounds, as well as speed up metabolic processes.

The cream has a comprehensive effect on the skin. After application, a chemical reaction occurs, due to which the active component becomes panthenolic acid and regenerates tissue. After a full course of use, collagen structures are strengthened, blood circulation improves, and metabolism is normalized.

Bepanten should be used no more than 3 times a day. It is important to cleanse your skin before using it. Avoid getting the cream into your eyes. In the reviews, women confirm the effectiveness of the drug Bepanten and are surprised at the positive results from use. The cream in pharmacies costs around 800 rubles.

Actovegin

Actovegin anti-wrinkle cream is available in various forms - ointment, gel, injections, dragees and cream. All of them can be purchased at the pharmacy.

The active ingredient is a complex that is obtained from the blood of calves. The composition also contains cetyl alcohol, glycerin and other useful substances.

The cream accelerates regeneration by activating metabolic processes at the cellular level and normalizing the supply of oxygen and glucoses.

Before applying the cream to your face, you need to cleanse your skin. Next, Actovegin should be applied in a thin layer, performing a small self-massage. After half an hour or an hour, you need to blot your skin with a dry cloth, ridding it of any remnants of the drug. You should use the cream no more than 2 times a day.

Many women report that Actovegin can be used in combination with other drugs. Thanks to the resulting mixture, better results are achieved and wrinkles are smoothed out. The cost of Actovegin in pharmacies varies from 500 rubles to 1500.

Solcoseryl

The ointment contains a concentrate from the blood of calves. It starts regeneration processes thanks to natural protein, which helps deliver oxygen to all cells.

The drug is able to rejuvenate by activating metabolic processes inside cells and producing collagen in skin cells.

Women who share their impressions of using the drug say that they are very satisfied. They note that after using the drug, the skin becomes velvety, elastic and toned. It is best to add Solcoseryl to face masks. The cost of Solcoseryl is on average 250 rubles.

Relief

The manufacturer does not provide for the use of Relief anti-wrinkle ointment. However, according to reviews from cosmetologists, even stars use this product to smooth out their skin.

The ointment has a white-yellow tint and has a characteristic aroma, which is determined by its composition. The ingredients used in the preparation of the ointment are oil obtained from shark liver (only in American-made ointments) and phenylephrine hydrochloride.

The oil has regenerative properties, perfectly nourishes the skin, fills it with moisture, as a result of which wrinkles are smoothed out, and prevents the appearance of black circles under the eyes.

And the main chemical substance constricts blood vessels, prevents swelling and edema from appearing, and stimulates blood circulation in the skin.

Additional components that also have an effect on reducing the number of wrinkles include glycerin, thyme oil, cocoa, vitamins A and E. The ointment is applied to the face with massage movements, removing excess with a napkin. If the wrinkles are deep, then, on the contrary, you need to apply a thick layer of ointment to the wrinkles and seal the area with an adhesive plaster. After half an hour, the ointment must be removed from the face.

According to reviews, the ointment is especially helpful if the wrinkles are small, but in advanced cases the effect will be, but not so significant.

Blepharogel

This drug, according to reviews, is increasingly being purchased not to eliminate the problems it is intended to combat (treatment of styes, swelling of the eyelids, diseases of the eye system), but to combat wrinkles.

It contains aloe juice, hyaluronic acid and glycerin. Aloe juice has anti-inflammatory properties, hyaluronic acid retains moisture in the deep layers of the skin, and glycerin additionally moisturizes.

The drug should not be used if you are prone to tearing, especially sensitive skin, skin diseases, during pregnancy and lactation.

The ointment is applied to the steamed skin of the face and the skin reaction is monitored. If tightness or itching is felt, it is necessary to wash off the product, as this indicates an allergic reaction to the drug. It is recommended to apply the gel using massaging movements. According to reviews, the drug is not suitable for everyone and can dry out the skin. However, those to whom it suits speak enthusiastically about it.

What ointments to use for the skin around the eyes

Anti-wrinkle cream (there is a large selection of similar products in the pharmacy) is suitable for the skin around the eyes, but not every product can be used, since the skin in these areas is thin and delicate.

Suitable for use:

  1. Heparin ointment.
  2. Retinoic ointment.
  3. Zinc ointment.
  4. Panthenol.
  5. Lyoton gel.
  6. Solcoseryl.

The preparations should be applied in a thin layer, carefully, without getting into the eyes. After some time, you should remove the excess with a dry cloth.

Using anti-wrinkle ointments during pregnancy

Not all ointments can be used during pregnancy. Radevit, retinoic and heparin ointments are strictly prohibited. If there is evidence for this, you can use Panthenol.

Contraindications

You should not use anti-wrinkle creams from pharmacies if you have:

  1. allergic reaction to the components of the composition;
  2. wounds, ulcers and skin rashes;
  3. oncology;
  4. increased skin sensitivity;
  5. problems with the blood or cardiovascular system;
  6. chronic liver or kidney diseases;
  7. problems with the pancreas.

Side effects of anti-wrinkle ointments

Anti-wrinkle cream (you can choose an inexpensive product at the pharmacy) is not suitable if there is a burning sensation or a feeling of tightness. Such reactions may go away on their own.

If the skin is very sensitive, skin allergies occur. Pimples, itching, redness and peeling may also occur. If after using the ointment you feel a burning sensation and the skin turns red, it is important to quickly rinse it off with water. This reaction means an allergy to the drug.

You can buy any anti-wrinkle cream at the pharmacy, the main thing is to pay attention to its composition and contraindications.

If after using the medicine a reaction appears on the skin in the form of peeling, redness or itching, you should stop using it, since most likely the ointment is not suitable and may have a negative effect.

Did you know that many women prefer affordable pharmacy products as an alternative to expensive anti-aging creams? And this is not surprising, because such preparations contain components that form the basis of professional cosmetics. Women's forums are full of messages about miraculous rejuvenation, which was provided by ointments from pharmacies, bought for pennies. Is it really? Are pharmaceutical drugs capable of replacing high-quality care products and preserving the youth and beauty of the skin? Let's find out.

Pharmacy ointments for wrinkles: should you trust them?

Why do lovely ladies prefer nondescript pharmaceutical products to beautiful and bright jars of professional cosmetics? The secret of their popularity is simple. Compare the composition of pharmaceutical ointments and anti-aging creams, and you will be surprised to find that many advertised anti-wrinkle products consist of the same components as cheap medications. The hero of one of the annoying commercials commented on this situation, saying: “If the quality is the same, why pay more?”

So, one of the advantages of pharmaceutical drugs is low price with high efficiency. In addition, many ointments consist of natural and safe ingredients (vitamins, natural oils, collagen). They contain hyaluronic acid, extracts and juice of medicinal plants, and even an extract from shark oil.

That is, the basis of these drugs are ingredients responsible for maintaining skin elasticity and preserving youth. At the same time, medicinal ointments give a quick and lasting result, comparable to the effect of such salon procedures as Botox, facial mesotherapy, biorevitalization or other miracles of modern cosmetology. Therefore, pharmaceutical drugs are increasingly being resorted to in cases where expensive cosmetics do not give the desired effect.

At the same time, we should not forget that such products are not intended for cosmetic purposes. First of all, these are medications created to combat certain diseases. This means that their use can cause unwanted side effects and unpredictable allergic reactions. Therefore, drugs from pharmacies should be approached with caution and used exactly according to the instructions. If it turns out that the ointment has a number of contraindications related to your existing disease, it is better not to use the product.

To find out whether there is an individual intolerance to the components included in the ointment, always do a skin test before the first use. Just apply a small amount of the drug to the crook of your elbow and wait. If the skin does not react with redness, irritation or rash, then you can safely use this product for facial care. Now let's take a closer look at those drugs that can be used to combat wrinkles and maintain youthful skin.

We list the best and most effective pharmaceutical ointments for wrinkles. According to consumer reviews, they help cope with age-related changes, smooth the skin, eliminate puffiness and dark circles under the eyes.

Relief

Don't be surprised, it's exactly what you're thinking. That is, a drug intended for the treatment of hemorrhoids, in addition to its main function, can also effectively get rid of wrinkles. This property of the ointment has been noticed by cosmetologists for a long time, and even many world celebrities have tried its effect on themselves. The thing is that the drug contains shark oil, which has a powerful regenerative and restorative effect.

Relief's active ingredients restore blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, so using the ointment can instantly eliminate puffiness and get rid of dark circles under the eyes. In addition, hemorrhoid ointment contains Omega fatty acids, which are necessary for skin health and maintaining its elasticity. Thanks to them, the drug perfectly nourishes, moisturizes the skin, and helps smooth out wrinkles.

Relief ointment is recommended to be used once a day, before bedtime. The fact is that it has a rather dense, greasy texture, it takes a long time to absorb into the skin and is not suitable as a base for makeup. It is not recommended to apply the drug to the entire face; only problem areas should be treated, driving the ointment into the skin with light, patting movements.

Remember that this is a medicinal product, so you should not use Relief for a long time. One week is enough to improve your skin condition. After this, you definitely need to take a break. In pharmacies, the drug Relief is presented in different forms.

And if you mistakenly bought candles and not ointment, don’t be upset. It is enough to melt the suppositories in a water bath and use the resulting creamy composition instead of an ointment. The cost of Relief ointment in the pharmacy chain is around 350 rubles. But since the ointment is used sparingly, one package will last for a long time.

Gel Curiosin

The anti-aging effect of the drug is explained by its composition containing hyaluronic acid and zinc. This drug is completely harmless and has virtually no contraindications; it can be used together with skincare products (tonics and lotions). Curiosin has anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and regenerative effects and promotes rapid cell renewal. Hyaluronic acid provides intense skin hydration and smoothes wrinkles.

Curiosin is recommended to be used in courses (twice a year for 2 weeks). A good effect is achieved by using Curiosin as a base for a mask. To do this, the drug is applied directly, allowed to be absorbed, and a thick layer of moisturizer is applied on top for 20 minutes. To enhance the effect, before applying to the skin, you can add a few drops of vitamins A and E to the preparation. The price of Curiosin is within 400 rubles.

Retinoic ointment

This drug contains isotretinoin, a synthetic analogue of vitamin A. It is the lack of vitamin A (retinol) that leads to rapid fading of the skin, which becomes dry, flabby and wrinkled. Ointment with retinol compensates for this deficiency, helps maintain water balance, provides intense hydration of the skin from the inside, and activates the processes of cellular metabolism and tissue regeneration.

Thanks to this, cell renewal accelerates, the body begins to produce its own collagen, which returns the skin to its former elasticity and smoothes out wrinkles. In addition, the drug normalizes the functioning of the sebaceous glands, evens out the skin texture and improves complexion.

Retinoic ointment should not be applied before going outside, as it increases skin sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation. Therefore, it is best to use the drug in the evening, before bed. The course of treatment with retinoic ointment is 2-3 weeks; it is best to carry out anti-aging procedures in early spring or late autumn to prevent the appearance of age spots and sunburn.

If you do use the ointment during the day, apply a strong sunscreen on top before going outside. Preparations with retinoids can be hazardous to health and can cause serious side effects, so before using retinoic ointment, consult your doctor and check for possible contraindications. The price of the drug at the pharmacy varies from 180 to 280 rubles.

Solcoseryl

It has pronounced regenerating properties, perfectly smoothes wrinkles, nourishes and moisturizes. Particularly suitable for those with dry skin who can use this product as a night cream. The basis of Solcoseryl is an extract from the blood of dairy calves, rich in protein necessary to maintain skin tone.

The drug acts at the cellular level, penetrating deep into tissues, it ensures oxygen saturation of cells, activates collagen production and accelerates cell regeneration and renewal. As a result, the processes of metabolism, blood circulation and lymph outflow are normalized. The skin becomes soft, moisturized, tightened and elastic. Solcoseryl is an effective anti-wrinkle ointment; it has a strong absorbable effect. It is not without reason that in medicine this drug is used to eliminate scars and scars.

Solcoseryl ointment is often used in combination with another pharmaceutical product - Dimexide solution. In this case, pronounced lifting is achieved - an effect similar to Botox injections. The procedure is performed according to a certain scheme. First, the face is treated with a diluted solution of Dimexide, then Solcoseryl ointment is applied in a thick layer and the composition is left on the face for 20-30 minutes.

After removing the mask, the skin is treated with a nourishing cream. This mask has a powerful rejuvenating effect; after it, the skin looks tightened and young, wrinkles are smoothed out, and complexion improves. The price of Solcoseryl ointment is about 200 rubles per package.

Heparin ointment

This drug was developed for the treatment of thrombophlebitis, varicose veins, elimination of bruises and symptoms of hemorrhoids. The active substances are the anesthetic benzocaine and the anticoagulant heparin, which is responsible for resolving blood clots and reducing inflammation. The ointment has a pronounced anti-edematous effect, so for cosmetic purposes it is used to eliminate dark circles and bags under the eyes.

In addition, the drug quickly smoothes out fine wrinkles around the eyes (“crow’s feet”), normalizes blood circulation, eliminates puffiness, and restores the natural functions of the skin. Heparin ointment has a light, delicate consistency, is easily absorbed without leaving a greasy feeling, perfectly moisturizes, and provides smoothness to the skin.

Before using the ointment, it is recommended to do a skin test, since the drug can provoke allergic reactions. The ointment is applied to problem areas in a thin layer. The positive effect is noticeable after 3-4 procedures; the duration of use should not exceed 10 days. The pharmaceutical product is quite inexpensive, about 60 rubles.

Ointment Radevit

This is a Russian-made combination drug containing vitamins A, E and D. The medication for external use has an anti-inflammatory effect, eliminates irritation and skin itching, perfectly nourishes, and exhibits protective properties. The complex of vitamins actively restores the functions of the epithelium, promotes the production of collagen, restores the skin to its former elasticity and increases local immunity. The ointment well moisturizes dry skin, has a calming effect and, when used correctly, helps smooth out wrinkles.

Radevit has a delicate and light consistency, a pleasant smell, is easy to apply and is quickly absorbed, without leaving a greasy film on the skin. At the same time, we should not forget that this is a medical drug that has a number of contraindications, so before use you need to carefully study the instructions. The duration of use of Radevit should not exceed 1.5 months. To combat skin aging, it is recommended to use Radevit once a day, before bed.

It is better not to apply the drug during the day, as it can cause increased sensitivity to ultraviolet rays. To avoid this, you can use another form of the drug - Radevit Active. It contains vitamin D3, which perfectly protects the skin from sun rays. In pharmacies, the price for a 35 g tube of Radevit is about 380 rubles.

Blepharogel

This is a medication for the treatment of inflammatory eye diseases, in particular blepharitis. For cosmetic purposes, it is used to eliminate swelling and fine wrinkles around the eyes. Blepharogel contains hyaluronic acid, aloe vera juice, and glycerin. The complex of active components is responsible for maintaining water balance, moisturizing and softening the skin.

In general, the drug has an anti-inflammatory, calming and regenerating effect, relieves swelling and redness, activates collagen production and prevents age-related changes. The drug is recommended to be applied to the skin of the eyelids and around the eyes in the morning and evening. To achieve a lasting anti-aging effect, it is enough to use Blefarogel for 2 weeks. The average price of the drug in pharmacies is 220 rubles.

Hydrocortisone ointment

This is a hormonal remedy for external use. The active substance of the drug is the hormone hydrocortisone, which is produced in the human body by the adrenal glands. The lack of this hormone accelerates the process of aging and withering of the skin.

The use of an ointment with a synthetic hormone has a pronounced anti-aging effect, similar to Botox injections. The skin is instantly smoothed, even deep wrinkles disappear, complexion improves, bags under the eyes and puffiness disappear.

The rejuvenating effect is achieved due to the fact that the hormone, penetrating the skin, retains moisture in the cells. As a result, swelling forms under the skin, which is visually invisible, but it smoothes the skin and eliminates wrinkles. This effect is not permanent and soon the skin returns to its previous state.

At the same time, long-term use of a hormonal drug can bring harm rather than benefit. Hydrocortisone ointment for wrinkles has a number of serious contraindications and can cause unwanted side effects that can lead to the opposite result. Thus, an overdose of the hormone can provoke atrophy of the skin, as a result of which they become excessively dry, flabby, and wrinkles become more noticeable and deep.

Therefore, using the drug for a long time is simply dangerous. It is used in exceptional cases when you need to achieve a quick anti-aging effect. In general, hydrocortisone ointment can be used for no more than three days in a row, and the drug is applied to problem areas in a thin layer, once a day. Hydrocortisone ointment in a pharmacy costs only about 40 rubles.

Zinc ointment

This simple and affordable drug can be used not only to treat skin diseases, but also for facial care. The basis of the ointment is Vaseline and zinc oxide. Zinc ointment is a good antiseptic; it has astringent and disinfectant properties. Vaseline creates a moisture-proof film on the skin surface that prevents fluid loss, and zinc oxide activates metabolic processes, accelerates cell renewal and normalizes the functions of the sebaceous glands, reducing the production of sebum (sebum).

This product is ideal for those with normal to oily skin, as it has a drying effect. If your skin is dry and sensitive, using zinc ointment may cause irritation. But this can be corrected if you add a small amount of any natural vegetable oil or vitamins A and E to the ointment. The price of zinc ointment is 35 rubles.

Gel Pectilift

A product with a lifting effect, designed specifically to combat wrinkles. It contains a highly purified natural polymer of hyaluronic acid.

Penetrating into the skin, the drug effectively nourishes, moisturizes, normalizes pH levels, eliminates greasy shine, tightens pores, and improves complexion. This is a completely natural and safe product and, according to consumer reviews, it is the best anti-wrinkle ointment.

The drug is a greyish, odorless substance. Available in glass bottles sealed with aluminum coating. Pectilift should be applied to previously cleansed facial skin for 10-15 minutes, then rinsed off with warm water. The rejuvenation course lasts 2 weeks; while using this product, experts recommend drinking more water. This will promote the production of natural hyaluronic acid.

Reviews about the application

Review #1

I recently made an anti-wrinkle mask with Solcoseryl and Demixide. I really liked the result. The face was transformed, the skin became moisturized, smooth, and wrinkles became almost invisible.

If you compare the effect of these pharmaceutical drugs with the effect of using anti-aging creams, then the opinion of many will change not in favor of the latter. Pharmacy products are inexpensive and the results of their use are visible immediately. You just need to use them correctly and follow the instructions for use exactly.

Review #2

Recently at the pharmacy I noticed the drug Pectilift. I read the ingredients and instructions and was simply amazed. It turns out that this product contains purified hyaluronic acid, which is included in many expensive anti-aging creams. And the composition is completely natural, there are no synthetic fragrances or other harmful chemicals in it.

The instructions say that the drug provides a lifting effect. It is inexpensive - about 200 rubles. I bought it and didn’t regret it at all. After the first use, I immediately noticed a positive result, the skin really tightened and smoothed out, became soft and velvety. And after 2 weeks of use, the double chin disappeared, the bags under the eyes disappeared, and the complexion improved. Now I look 10 years younger and all thanks to this wonderful drug.

Review #3

A friend advised me to try retinoic ointment for wrinkles. It contains vitamin A, which is so lacking in dry and sagging aging skin. Actually, this ointment is intended for the treatment of skin diseases, but it also copes well with wrinkles.

You need to apply it before going to bed; it is better not to use the ointment during the day. Otherwise, under the influence of sunlight, age spots may appear on the face.
