Pharmaceutical anti-wrinkle drugs

Sooner or later, every woman faces the problem of wrinkles on her face. It is impossible to stop the aging process of the dermis, but it is quite possible to slow it down. A variety of anti-wrinkle products will help with this. You need to choose them wisely, otherwise the result will not live up to expectations.

Wrinkles on the face

What anti-wrinkle remedies are there?

A variety of anti-wrinkle preparations contain substances beneficial to the skin that help maintain a fresh appearance, elasticity and smoothness.

Beneficial substances included in anti-wrinkle products:

1. Vitamins A, D, B5;
2. Amino acids and fatty acids;
3. Hyaluronic acid;
4. Natural plant extracts;
5. Zinc;
6. Collagen;
7. Peptides;
8. Retinol.

Some of the substances smooth the skin, filling wrinkles, have a powerful moisturizing effect, and also exfoliate dead cells. Others nourish the epidermis, heal minor injuries, and stimulate blood circulation.

Which anti-wrinkle remedy is best to choose depends on what type of wrinkles predominates on the face. Cosmetologists divide wrinkles into 2 types: superficial and deep. The first arise as a result of loss of tone, dryness, and improper care. This type also includes facial wrinkles, which with age will turn into deep creases. Therefore, it is necessary to begin the fight against minor skin defects as early as possible.

Deep age wrinkles can no longer be smoothed out. But they can be made less pronounced by using products with a more powerful effect, as well as daily home facial care.

Important! The choice of product is also influenced by the woman’s skin type and age. Information about this data is usually placed on the packaging of the drug.

Effective pharmaceutical drugs

Drugs sold in pharmacies have a powerful effect due to the increased content of nutrients. They can improve the health of the face, cleanse the skin, relieve inflammation, and remove swelling. Many products are indicated for treating sensitive skin around the eyes.

Pharmaceutical ointment for wrinkles

Pharmacies offer customers gels, creams and ointments. Moreover, it is advisable to use the latter at home if you do not plan to go anywhere. The point is the high fat content: they facilitate the penetration of beneficial components into the skin, but are poorly absorbed themselves, creating a greasy sheen.

Creams and gels can be used at any time, their light texture allows this. Creamy formulations are often used as a base for makeup. A common disadvantage of such products is the presence of fragrances and a small amount of chemical components in the composition. Their concentration increases the likelihood of allergic reactions.

Pharmacy ointments

The best ointments for wrinkles:

1. Relief. The drug with shark liver oil is positioned as a cure for hemorrhoids. However, it has also gained popularity as an anti-wrinkle ointment. It tones well, smoothes the skin, eliminating fine wrinkles. You need to apply the anti-wrinkle facial preparation once a day. The course of therapy is 7 days. The disadvantage of Relief ointment is its pungent odor;
2. Heparin ointment. An inexpensive and effective remedy that is used to eliminate wrinkles, wounds and swelling. The ointment works quite quickly: after 7 days of use, the skin will become noticeably more elastic. Not suitable for the eye area;
3. Retinoic ointment. A drug created to combat wrinkles and excess oily skin. Provokes acceleration of regeneration processes. Apply to clean skin before bed. Has a number of contraindications;
4. Salicylic-zinc ointment. A time-tested assistant in the fight against skin problems. The main active ingredients are zinc oxide and salicylic acid. Stimulates tissue restoration, increases elasticity, relieves inflammation. It has a drying effect, so it is not recommended for people with dry skin;
5. Radevit. Contains a number of useful components that help activate collagen production, moisturize and renew the skin. Refers to hypoallergenic drugs. Useful ointment should be applied twice a day to clean skin;
6. Levomekol. In cosmetology, Levomekol is often used for wrinkles, which has almost no contraindications. This ointment has an anti-inflammatory effect and significantly heals the skin.

Hyaluronic acid is an excellent anti-wrinkle helper

Pharmacy anti-wrinkle gels

1. Curiosin. A gel containing hyaluronic acid and zinc, which maintain youthful skin. Use twice a day on clean skin. Gives quick results;
2. Blefarogel. A product created to treat inflammatory processes of the eyes. Thanks to aloe juice and hyaluronic acid in the composition, it successfully fights age-related skin changes;
3. Pictilift. Especially suitable for young skin prone to oiliness and rashes. Gently dries, tightens contours, narrows pores. The course of application is 14 days.

Note! Hyaluronic acid is available in pharmacies and perfectly moisturizes and tightens the skin. But since the acid is poorly absorbed, external application is considered ineffective. It is best to use it as an injection, asking a cosmetologist for help.

What helps with fine wrinkles

By the age of 35-40, most women regretfully notice that the wrinkles on their faces become deeper. From the category of mimic they move into the category of static, that is, permanent. At first, before the fine mesh on the skin turns into a series of creases, you can and should resist rapid aging.

The following products are used to combat fine age wrinkles:

1. Vichy Neovadiol Gf 40-60+. A daily care cream suitable for those with sensitive skin. Increases elasticity, activates skin renewal processes, improves complexion. One of the disadvantages is the high consumption (the cream needs to be applied daily).
2. AA cream Laura with peptides. A relatively inexpensive product that helps moisturize and rejuvenate the skin. The composition contains hyaluronic acid, vitamins, panthenol and wild yam extract. The beneficial effect of the last component has not been proven, but it will definitely not cause harm to the skin.
3. Frownies. An interesting anti-aging product is a cosmetic patch. Gently straighten the skin with your fingers and stick on the strip. After a few hours, you can remove it and admire the result: the wrinkles really become less deep. For optimal results, you must complete the full course.

Note! Botox injections will also help in the fight against fine wrinkles. When treating the chin and cheek area, this product is not effective enough.

Prevention of age-related changes

The aging process begins in the body in men and women from the age of 25. At first they walk slowly, almost imperceptibly. If you don't take care of your skin properly, small facial wrinkles after 30 will quickly turn into creases and folds that cannot be smoothed out. Therefore, it is worth choosing a good anti-wrinkle product in advance, even if old age is still far away.

1. Botox. The best remedy for wrinkles of any depth. Botox is protein in nature and therefore safe. Only a cosmetologist should inject it under the skin. The remedy works like this: nerve impulses in the muscle fibers are blocked, the muscles do not respond to them, remaining at rest for a long time.
2. Rejuvenating series >

Important! With improper skin care or health problems, wrinkles on the face can appear at a fairly early age. You shouldn’t wait until you reach a certain age; it’s better to make efforts in the fight against aging in advance.

Folk recipes

Effective folk recipes for anti-wrinkle masks:

1. Honey + aloe. Mix melted honey with aloe leaf pulp in equal parts. Keep the mixture on your face for 20 minutes;
2. Yeast. Dilute dry or wet yeast with milk to the consistency of sour cream. Add unrefined vegetable oil in a ratio of 1:2. Apply to face using a cotton swab. When the first layer of the mask dries, apply the second. After 15 minutes, rinse off;
3. Grapefruit + sour cream. Add 1 part fat sour cream to 2 parts grapefruit juice and mix. For thickness, add a little flour or starch. Keep on face for 15 minutes.

Homemade anti-wrinkle mask

Compresses help against facial wrinkles:

1. Brew mint tea, pour into ice cube trays, and freeze. Then prepare another portion of tea, cool to a temperature comfortable for the skin. Using a cloth, wipe the problem areas of the face with warm tea. Then cool the skin with an ice cube. Repeat alternating heat and cold 3-4 times;
2. Lightly heat olive or any other vegetable oil. Saturate a cloth with it and apply it to your face. Cover the top with parchment and secure with gauze or bandage. Remove the compress after 2-3 hours;
3. Melt cosmetic paraffin (30 g) and soak gauze in it, folded in 2 layers. Apply oil or rich cream to the skin and apply a compress. Cover the top with parchment. Keep for about half an hour.

Important! Ice helps keep the skin toned. Under its influence, the blood vessels of the face first contract and then expand. Thanks to this “gymnastics”, the nutrition of skin cells improves.

Skin Care Tips

To keep your skin healthy and beautiful for as long as possible, it is important to follow several rules:

1. Proper nutrition and drinking plenty of fluids. Adequate amounts of fruits, vegetables and cereals in your diet, as well as drinking enough clean water will help maintain skin elasticity.
2. Using quality cosmetics. Properly selected cosmetics from trusted companies will not cause harm to the skin; on the contrary, they will help maintain a healthy appearance.
3. Regular care at home and in the salon. Massage, peeling, masks and salon mesotherapy will not allow the skin to lose its blooming appearance for many years.

Taking care of your skin is the key to beauty

You cannot say goodbye to deep wrinkles once and for all. But it is possible to reduce their number and prevent the formation of new ones. For this purpose, many useful products with natural composition have been created. The sooner you start taking care of your facial skin, the longer you will look young and attractive.

Hi girls! This post will be very personal, as I will tell you a lot about myself and my health.

Like everyone else, I cherish the hope that somewhere a rejuvenating apple is waiting for me. Therefore, I constantly try the most non-trivial means. In my arsenal there are both expensive by my standards (from 3000 rubles per jar) and very cheap fixed-price products (and here they are here and here). The thing is that I am a terrible allergy sufferer, so in order to find a treatment for myself, I need to try, try, try. And even if something fits, it’s not a fact that I will be able to use it for a long time.

Now I’ll tell you about 4 pharmaceutical products that are constantly in my refrigerator. Attaching photo. The photos may not be very presentable, but they are real - taken by me. To be clear, I actually use this. And at the very end of the article I’ll tell you about the fifth awesome remedy. It’s not exactly cheap, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything! )

Do not forget that all of these are medications, so be sure to consult your doctor before use. These products cannot be used constantly (as primary care). Go?

1. Methyluracil ointment

“Tissue repair stimulator” - from this it is clear that it has a healing effect. If you apply it to your face, it begins to heal even healthy ones. But seriously, I apply it at night, and the next morning my face has an even tone, wrinkles are smoothed out. I don’t recommend it under the eyes, as it has a heavy and oily texture. It especially helps if your face is chapped in winter! And, of course, for its intended purpose - it heals wounds and pimples, if any.

Be sure to moisturize your skin well on the day of use, as methyluracil, despite all its advantages, dries it out.

2. Solcoseryl ointment

There are two forms in the pharmacy - ointment and gel. For the face you need ointment. This is simply a super remedy not only for wrinkles. It also perfectly evens out the skin texture, removes redness, and (most importantly!) brightens the blood vessels. If there is rosacea on the face, the ointment makes it less noticeable. I also don’t recommend it under the eyes - it’s too heavy and greasy.

After application, the face turns a little red, but this is normal. The next morning there will be no redness - only an even tone and a facelift

There is also solcoseryl eye gel. Once I was prescribed it for an injury. So, I noticed that when it was dripped, the red blood vessels in the eyes disappeared, and the whites of the eyes became white. Another proof that the drug works. You can’t use it too often or too much. Although they write that there are no hormones in the composition, there was one precedent. (maybe I'll tell you later).

3. Proctonis

Hemorrhoid cream Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you. It has a very good nutritional and decongestant composition: cocoa butter, shark liver oil (squalene), and other healthy ingredients. I apply it when I'm about to swell in the morning. Well, if I ate something salty in the evening, or suddenly cried over a heartbreaking film. And sometimes I just apply it, because it really softens, moisturizes and really removes wrinkles under the eyes. It can be applied to the entire face.

4. Cream "Zorka"

He is also a pharmacy. The truth is sold at a veterinary pharmacy or pet store. It sounds creepy, I know. But 3 dermatologists recommended it to me. The fact is that, in addition to allergies, I also have atopic dermatitis - the skin on my hands is so dry that it simply tears to shreds in the cold.

As with most dermatological diseases, there is no cure, only care. So, this is a super-duper softening, healing and simply magical cream for my hands. Heals all wounds in one night. And where there are no wounds, it smoothes out wrinkles and hands become like a baby’s bottom in the morning. You can smear not only your hands, but also your legs, elbows and in general everything that has become rough. I read in reviews that it even helps with psoriasis.

When the doctors prescribed this cream to me, I naturally went to read the ingredients. I couldn't find the detailed composition. I only found that it contains “floralizin, a product developed by Russian scientists.” It contains enzymes, biotin, antioxidants, saturated fatty acids and polysaccharides. In general, nothing harmful. I can’t say for sure, but the doctors said that the ointment is not hormonal. There is only fatty cream and Floralizin. Zorka is really very oily, so I only use it at night.

5. My favorite is Imoferase

Ointment for scars and post-acne. Usually my skin is completely clear. But sometimes I eat the wrong thing, inhale the wrong thing, or put on the wrong thing, and an allergy appears in the form of a small rash. After a rash, so that there are no bumps left, I use this drug. He is amazing! Evens out the skin like no other peeling and smoothes out wrinkles!

The secret is that it improves tissue trophism, which means it copes with scars and stagnant spots. It really works on scars (especially fresh ones). You can’t use it often or for a long time on your face: as I understand it, it contains hyaluronidase, a drug that destroys hyaluronic acid. And I don't want it to collapse

Therefore, I use it either spot-on or all over the face, but not for long. The last time I bought it for 700 rubles. But it’s worth it - if you consider that a regular almond peeling from a cosmetologist will cost 2000 rubles, and the leveling effect is the same. then it will pay for itself from the first use. And for those who have post-acne, this drug will be a lifesaver! That's all I wanted to say.

“Beauty requires sacrifice” - this is the popular truth. And we add: material ones too. After all, high-quality cosmetics are often obscenely expensive, and not everyone can afford them. However, there are also personal care products that will not break your budget, and you can buy them at any pharmacy.

Bright Side I have compiled a list of cheap products that work no worse than expensive creams and procedures.

1. Succinic acid

Succinic acid improves cellular respiration and blood circulation. Cosmetics manufacturers add this ingredient to anti-aging products. And all because succinic acid restores the elasticity of skin tissue, returns a healthy complexion and relieves puffiness.

1. At home, it is easy and simple to make an effective mask from succinic acid to combat dilated blood vessels on the face. In pharmacies, this product is usually sold in tablet form, so it needs to be crushed properly.
2. 1 tsp. powder (this is 2-3 tablets) mixed with 3 tbsp. l. water and apply to face. Leave the mask on for no more than 10–15 minutes, otherwise you may feel dry. Instead of water, you can use aloe juice (not to be confused with aloe alcohol tincture).

2. Baby cream "Tick-tock"

The Tic-Tac cream contains provitamin B, which prevents glycation (deposition of sugars on skin collagen fibers). This cream removes byproducts that are formed during oxidative processes and smoothes wrinkles.

1. Apply the product to your face before going to bed as a nighttime treatment. The cream is not too greasy, but excess can be blotted off with a paper napkin.

3.Cream “F-99” bold

Dermatologists prescribe F-99 cream to people who suffer from eczema. But this product has also found application in cosmetology, primarily due to the high content of vitamin F and polyunsaturated fatty acids. The cream inhibits inflammatory processes, stimulates collagen production and preserves the skin framework. In addition, vitamin F retains moisture in the epidermis and prevents the appearance of wrinkles.

1. You need to apply F-99 cream an hour before bedtime. The course of treatment is 2 weeks. In winter, when the indoor air is dry, this product is simply irreplaceable.

4. Valerian capsules

Valerian is traditionally used as a sedative and sleep aid. However, this plant is used not only in medicine, but also in cosmetology. Valerian smoothes the skin and tones the facial muscles. It is also great for inflammation and sunburn.

1. Puncture the capsule and apply its contents to the face, including the area under the eyes. With daily use, the effect will become obvious in less than a week.

5. Mumiyo

Shilajit is an organic substance. Its origin is still unknown, but it is known that it contains at least 85 minerals and important amino acids. Manganese and copper, which are part of mumiyo, make the skin more elastic and elastic.

1. To combat early stretch marks, mumiyo powder or tablets should be mixed with any cream (preferably anti-cellulite) and applied to problem areas. True, you shouldn’t expect quick results, but with regular use the skin will smooth out significantly.

6. Calendula ointment

The main purpose of this ointment is to heal wounds and abrasions. Calendula flowers contain carotenoids (fight acne), coumarins (stimulate cell renewal) and flavonoids (protect the skin from external influences). Thanks to these substances, calendula ointment fights fine wrinkles and removes rashes.

1. This product has a very thick consistency; it should be applied in a thin layer to problem areas (under the eyes, on nasolabial folds) no more than once a day.

7. Castor oil

Castor oil is a natural moisturizer and anti-inflammatory that is often used for cosmetic purposes. The oil's ingredients penetrate the skin and stimulate the production of its own collagen and elastin.

1. Castor oil is used against shallow wrinkles around the eyes as follows: a few drops of warm oil should be applied to the skin in this area using a cotton pad. After 10–15 minutes, the remaining oil can be removed using a paper napkin. This procedure must be repeated once a week.

8. Eleutherococcus

A pharmaceutical drug with a difficult-to-pronounce name “Eleutherococcus extract” is a well-known tonic and restorative. Eleutherococcus raises blood pressure and improves appetite. But it also has a use in facial care: it tightens and smoothes the skin.

1. For a lifting effect, add 1 drop of tincture to the nourishing cream immediately before application. Important: The tincture contains alcohol, so you need to be careful with the dosage so as not to get dry skin.

9. Methyluracil

Methyluracil ointment is intended for the treatment of wounds, burns and dermatitis. It stimulates skin cell renewal and improves local immunity. It also protects delicate skin from the aggressive effects of sunlight. But we also really need methyluracil to bring beauty. It is especially useful for those who suffer from dry lips and constant cracks in the corners of the mouth.

1. Apply the cream to problem areas for 15–30 days. The thin skin of the lips will have time to renew itself, and minor inflammations will heal.

10. Polysorb

Scientists have developed polysorb to combat poisoning or allergies. But its beneficial properties can also be used in facial care. The main component of this powder, silicon, improves skin protection, and with regular use, smoothes out fine wrinkles and removes rashes.

1. Apply a mixture of polysorb and warm water to your face in the form of a paste. You need to keep it for no more than 10–15 minutes, and then rinse with warm water. This mask is suitable even for sensitive skin.

11. Vitamin C in ampoules

Vitamin C improves immunity, helps the body synthesize collagen, and also regulates hormones. When used externally, vitamin C tightens the skin, improves complexion and fights age spots. Ampoules with a liquid solution are suitable for this. Important: an open ampoule must be used immediately, because the active substance is quickly destroyed in air.

1. The simplest mask with ascorbic acid is made like this: for 2 ampoules of solution you need to take 1 tsp. warm boiled water, mix and apply to face. It is better to leave the mask until the morning and wash it off immediately after waking up. Boiled water can be replaced with mineral water. It is dangerous to apply undiluted acid to the face: it can damage the skin.
2. Moisturizing mask. Ingredients: 1 tsp. glycerin, 5 drops of vitamin and 1 tsp. mineral or rose water. Mix all components and apply for 15 minutes. Vitamin C tightens pores, and glycerin moisturizes the skin.

12. Fish oil capsules

In addition to the fat itself, the capsules contain vitamins A, D and F. And also decosahexaenoic acid: it controls the functioning of the sebaceous glands and smoothes out wrinkles. Fish oil easily passes through cell membranes and penetrates deep into the skin.

1. The fish oil ampoule needs to be pierced and its contents applied to the area around the eyes. Before the procedure, do an allergy test. But it is better not to leave this remedy until the morning: it is very active. Wash it off after 15-20 minutes.

We have already tried a couple of products and were pleased with the results. Which of the things described in the article are you ready to use?
