Retinoic ointment for scars

A high-quality ointment for scars and scars should penetrate deep into the skin, soften it and make it more elastic. You can buy this product at a pharmacy or make it yourself.

Review of ointments

The most common ointments for scars and scars, including old ones, have a resolving effect. Such products are made on the basis of inert silicone. This substance does not react with other medications and also does not have a negative effect on the body. When purchasing an ointment, you should carefully study its composition, since not all products are made from completely safe ingredients.

Herbal creams often have an extremely weak effect. They can cope with small bruises, but will not affect scars in any way. Therefore, people with significant skin damage should not buy drugs made only from natural ingredients.

Why are the pores enlarged? Due to mechanical damage? If yes, then maybe it will help, but if it has always been like this, then no. Only the laser will remove it...
Well, you can make masks from clay, lemon also tightens the pores.

For me, the condition of my pores and skin in general is VERY improved by tretinoin. Retinoic ointment Russian or imported retisol a. Try it. This is a bomb.

The skin is oily, and apparently I overdid it with scrubs. Something struck me as an idea to treat with these means. I don’t recognize salon stuff, cosmetics. means too. And I really want smooth skin without pits.

Author, try Korean cosmetics for problem skin. I had pores the size of a crater, they were visible from a kilometer away. I switched completely to Korean skin care - washes, masks, pore cleaning creams, serums. plus before applying makeup - grout for the pores. Now the skin is like a baby. I like Tonny Molly, Misha and Holika Holika, my friend is delighted with YouTube House

ahahaha, of course not. and yes, the scrub has nothing to do with it (aunt, they don’t cure, wake up, where do you live). But you’re ignoring the salon, care and cosmetics in vain!

I moved to a suburban area and my pores cleared up, making my skin appear smoother and my pores less noticeable. So what can you do to focus on cleansing?

It’s a shame you don’t recognize cosmetics; there are very good products. They loosen and dissolve the contents of pores without mechanical cleaning, regulate the functioning of the sebaceous glands, the pores narrow and become less noticeable. This does not mean that after three days of using the cream all this will happen; at least a month or a month and a half must pass for the result to be noticeable.

Has anyone used special grout for pores?

Can you be more specific? Nothing helps either. I tried washing my face with gel foams, it says it tightens the pores... There was no effect

Cleansing also helps to narrow the pores a little

pore grout - what is it?

The grout stupidly clogs the pores with silicone and from this they seem to be filled

I read at a beautician about such a grout. The result is beyond praise. But the pores will be clogged in the end.

(At home) You can visit the bathhouse 2 or 3 times a week, and every day you need to steam your face over a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. and after that you need to cut the cucumber into very thin slices and apply it to your face (nose) for 30 minutes. After going outside or walking, you should wash your face with boiled, chilled water! You can add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to boiled water or you can wash your face with Borjomi mineral water. Then wipe your face with cucumber lotion. The course of treatment is 14 days. 3 days before treatment you need to go on a diet. First of all, do a regular enema at home before going to bed. You cannot eat carrots, beets, onions, garlic, fruits and berries, salt, sugar. etc. Drinks include tea, coffee, kefir. juices, etc. YOU CAN eat boiled potatoes, cabbage, broccoli, zucchini, green grapes, dill, parsley, spinach, boiled chicken, olive oil. Drinks include green tea, apple compote and Borjomi water. And after treatment, buy pore tightening products and nourishing creams from VICHY

Yana, are you advertising cheap? )))Calm down, everyone already. If your cosmetics are so good, then sell them in a store, as luxury companies do, or in a pharmacy, as manufacturers of medicinal cosmetics do! And your salon is not a salon, but an attempt to sell a suitcase of cosmetics on credit or immediately for 50 thousand! During a “spa treatment”, women (most often) do not relax, but listen to how terrible they look, how crap their cosmetics are, how they will be abandoned if they do not take care of themselves correctly (i.e. with the help of your cosmetics ) and that you need to love yourself and not be shy about spending money on yourself, MONEY. It doesn’t really look like a pleasant vacation and the help of a qualified specialist))) You have “cosmetologists” from the street undergoing training there in three days and receive a salary and some percentage from each client who managed to sell cosmetics! I know what I’m talking about, I NEARLY got a job there myself. There are all certificates for cosmetics - go to stores and pharmacies! And people themselves will figure out what to buy: the whole line of products or just one thing)))

Hello everyone. So I read and I’m surprised that they don’t want to use cosmetics from stores or pharmacies, well, that’s good, so why don’t you make your own masks (dilute various components), for example from clay. There are several types of clay from here and its different effects can be found for oilier skin, regulates the function of the sebaceous glands, evens out the complexion, nourishes, smoothes, and tightens. Of course, you don’t need to use it every day, but it’s better to make masks with it. You should not use scrubs with large particles; you will only scratch your skin. The scrub can be made at home. You should not use alcohol-containing preparations for dry skin; the most IMPORTANT thing is to DRINK MORE WATER. Water saturates the body with fluid, the skin will not be dry + removes toxins. Gelatin masks are for everyone who needs collagen. You can even refuse store-bought shampoos. No matter how expensive cosmetics are, no matter how much they are praised, it won’t take much time to prepare a fresh product, just don’t be lazy and be healthy and look great.

To reduce the defect that appears on the skin after healing of its damage (postoperative suture, incised wound, burn, etc.), an ointment is used for scars - dense connective tissue that replaces the normal epidermis and differs from it in its structure. The fibrillar protein collagen, consisting of glycoprotein fibers, predominates in scar tissue.

In addition, fibrous scar tissue can grow to form what are called keloids. In such cases, a properly selected ointment for keloid scars can help.

Release form

Let us list some names of ointments for scars that have shown a curative effect and can be used in clinical practice.

Thus, in order to prevent the growth of scar tissue, corticosteroid drugs are prescribed, such as 1% Hydrocortisone ointment (other trade names are Laticort, Akortin). The use of sinaflan ointment for keloid scars (Sinaflan or Flucinar) is widely practiced.

Heparin sodium belongs to the anticoagulant group of drugs, and Heparin ointment, promoting the resorption of blood clots, is used in the complex treatment of varicose veins and superficial thrombophlebitis of the veins of the lower extremities, for the resorption of hematomas of various locations, relieving swelling of soft tissues, and also as an ointment for keloid scars.

Heparin sodium is included in the gel Contractubex and ointment for old scars Kelofibraze (Dermofibraze).

To soften and reduce the severity of the scar, silicone ointment (gel) Dermatix (Zeraderm ultra) is used. This product is used as a fairly effective ointment for resolving scars on the face. Mederma gel-based ointment helps reduce acne scarring on the face.

Topical preparations based on retinoic acid are used to treat severe forms of acne; In addition, retinoic scar ointment can help prevent the formation of rough scars at the site of acne.

In the process of healing many injuries, an effective ointment for scars, Madecassol, can be used - with an extract of the medicinal plant Centella asiatica. This remedy has proven itself as an ointment for atrophic scars (that is, slightly deepened) that appear after the skin has healed due to a violation of the synchronous formation of granulation tissue in the wound and its epithelization. Very often, scars of this type are formed after acne.

Ichthyol ointment for scars is rarely used today, since there are newer and more effective remedies, especially since this ointment has been and continues to be used as an antiseptic to stop suppurative inflammation of the skin.

Methyluracil ointment is used exclusively to accelerate the reparative regeneration of damage, including wounds, burns and trophic ulcers, for eczema and dermatitis.

Zinc ointment will not help anything with scars: it is an antiseptic that dries out weeping (non-purulent) skin inflammations due to dermatitis or diaper rash. Although, if you apply zinc ointment to a pimple that has just popped up, you can get rid of it without a trace. But Clearvin is not a medicine, it is a cosmetic cream based on Ayurvedic herbs and beeswax, recommended for caring for problem skin.

Today, Heparin and Hydrocortisone ointments, as well as the drug Sinaflan, are the cheapest ointments for scars.

Although the formation of scar tissue is a physiologically determined component of the healing process, a popular folk remedy - yolk ointment for burn scars - supposedly helps burns heal without scars. This product is prepared by evaporating the yolks of several hard-boiled eggs, ground into a homogeneous mass, in a dry frying pan.

[4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]

Pharmacodynamics

In the area of ​​healing of damaged skin there are many actively multiplying poorly differentiated fibroblasts, which intensively produce protein components of connective tissue (collagen and elastin) and glycosaminoglycans of the intercellular matrix (hyaluronic and glucuronic acids, dermatan sulfates, etc.).

The effect that Heparin ointment has on this process is due to the ability of negatively charged sodium heparin molecules to bind molecules of the intercellular fluid that have a positive charge. In addition, heparin is a glycosaminoglycan and helps to regulate metabolism in the intercellular substance of the skin, which contains connective tissue fibrils (from which the scar is formed).

Topical glucocorticosteroids - Hydrocortisone ointment and Sinaflan ointment (Flucinar) - in addition to reducing the synthesis of inflammatory mediators and blocking mast cells, inactivate fibroblasts, reducing the production of fibrous protein of scar tissue - collagen. Thus, the use of sinaflan ointment for keloid scars is completely justified.

Dermatix silicone ointment (Zeraderm ultra) acts differently: its constituent polysiloxane (oxygen-containing silicone) and silicon dioxide, when applied to the skin, form a thin protective layer that retains moisture and helps soften scar tissue.

Ointment for resolving scars on the face Mederma consists of cepalin - an onion extract (flavonoids of which inhibit the proliferation of fibroblasts) and allantoin - a product of uric acid oxidation, which helps retain moisture in the skin matrix and promotes the ordering of collagen fibrils in scar tissue.

The active ingredient of Madecassol ointment is an extract of the medicinal plant Centella or Asian stinkhorn, which contains triterpene saponins with surface and hemolytic activity. A special role is played by asiatic acid, under the influence of which skin damage heals faster, and fibroblasts divide more slowly, producing less dense collagen. Due to these processes, rough scar tissue does not form on the surface of the wound.

Retinoic scar ointment or Isotrexin contains the retinoic acid derivative isotretinoin. Its inhibitory effect on the formation of the main collagen-producing skin cells, fibroblasts, with a simultaneous positive effect on epithelization in the upper layers of damaged skin was noted. And this happens due to the participation of retinoic acid in the process of differentiation of young fibroblasts into collagenoblasts, myofibroblasts and fibroclasts, the latter acting as phagocytes, destroying excess collagen. Therefore, topical products with retinoic acid are used both for injection into scar tissue and as an ointment for keloid scars. See also - Treatment of keloid scars.

Kelofibraze, an ointment for old scars based on urea and heparin, improves the trophism and water balance of skin cells and the intercellular matrix.
