Retinol against wrinkles



retinol-protiv-morshin-KGbxM.webp

However, not everyone is in a hurry to buy retinol, knowing its side effects in the form of peeling and irritation of the skin. Indeed, some varieties of vitamin A in their pure form can cause negative consequences in the form of chemical burns. We’ll talk about the rules for using retinol in the fight against wrinkles and what retinoids are below.

Vitamin family

Retinaldehyde or retinal, true retinol, retinoic acid are all fat-soluble substances (lipovitamins), collectively called vitamin A. This is one of the first vitamins discovered by scientists. Its history began in 1920.

The progenitors of vitamin A are considered to be provitamins A - carotenoids (the main one is beta-carotene). Vitamins of group A are found in foods of animal origin, carotenoids are found in foods of plant origin.

The benefits of vitamin A for the body are great:

  1. supports the body's protective functions;
  2. takes part in metabolism;
  3. needed for development and growth;
  4. necessary for normalizing the functioning of the visual organs;
  5. regulates the balance of minerals in the body;
  6. supports the health of the epidermis;
  7. is a natural antioxidant.

Due to the extensive serious work that the vitamin carries out in the human body, retinol is sometimes classified as a hormone.

During pregnancy, vitamin A is contraindicated. Excessive consumption can have disastrous consequences for the developing fetus. Other people should not use vitamin A uncontrollably. Excess of the substance has a detrimental effect on the body. Therefore, before you start taking the vitamin, it is recommended to consult your doctor.

Retinoids - what is this substance and what is it intended for?

Retinoids are a synthetic analogue of vitamin A. Its invention is due to the fact that in its pure form the vitamin could cause unpleasant effects. The group of retinoids includes the following substances:

  1. retinol;
  2. tretinoin (retinoic acid);
  3. alitretinoin;
  4. isotretinoin;
  5. etretinate;
  6. tazarotene;
  7. acitretin;
  8. bexarotene;
  9. adapalene retinal.

All these substances are synthesized in chemical laboratories and are widely used in cosmetic skin care products.

More than 1,500 varieties of retinoids are known. However, not all of them have therapeutic properties. Only a few dozen synthetic analogues have these. They are used to treat:

Some types of retinoids are used in the fight against cancer. Thus, isotretinoin was originally used in the treatment of leukemia. Today it is used to combat acne in some patients. Tests of another synthetic derivative called tretinoin against acne began to be carried out in the late 60s of the last century by Albert Kligman, a dermatologist. Testing lasted a little more than a decade; in 1973, the doctor created the drug Retin-A, which was effective against this skin disease, and patented the formula.

After 12 years, Dr. Kligman and his colleague discovered that Retin-A not only effectively fights acne, but also improves facial tone and smoothes wrinkles. The dermatologist received patents for these formulas. After this, retinoids began to be included in cosmetic creams aimed at combating skin aging.

Synthetic substances similar to vitamin A actually prevent wrinkles and smooth out some existing wrinkles. Creams with retinoids will not help 100% get rid of age-related changes on the skin of the face, especially if the wrinkles are deep and old. In principle, modern scientists have not yet invented a remedy that makes it possible to remove all signs of aging.

The magic of rejuvenation contained in vitamin A

When vitamin A is applied externally to the skin, it manifests itself in the following way: the stratum corneum of the dermis becomes thinner by exfoliating dead cells, and the dermal layer, on the contrary, thickens. Thus, the facial skin is peeled, making it soft, smooth and radiant.

The action of retinoids is not limited to the superficial. The substance penetrates into the deep layers of the epidermis, where it slows down the decomposition of collagen, an important protein that gives the skin elasticity. Retinol is one of the few substances studied today with a clear anti-aging effect.

The beneficial effect of vitamin A and its varieties is explained not by the influence of the substance itself, but by its derivative, retinoic acid. It is formed during a chemical reaction of retinoids and special cellular enzymes. The difficulty is that not every analogue can be converted into retinoic acid equally quickly and easily. For some forms of the vitamin, such transformation takes a fairly long period of time.

And this is the formula for transforming retinoids:

Retinol acetate (palmitate, propionate) True retinol Retinaldehyde Retinoic acid.

It follows from this that the greater the number of cycles of conversion of the original form of retinol into retinoic acid, the less pronounced the effect it has on the skin. That is, retinol palmitate and retinol acetate are weaker and less effective forms of vitamin A. True retinol is stronger than its esters, but not as powerful as retinaldehyde, which is just one step away from becoming retinoic acid.

In addition, the amount of retinoic acid in the skin after transformation is insignificant. This is due to the fact that the transformation always occurs incompletely and to the fact that retinoids are a rapidly degrading and unstable compound.

Difficult choice

It is precisely because of the complexity of converting retinol that the choice of effective cosmetics is difficult. It is impossible to imagine exactly how many retinoids are transformed into retinoic acid on a given skin. This process depends on many factors - skin type, age, the amount of enzymes needed for conversion.

A clear example is this situation: a woman purchased a cream containing retinol ester (acetate or palmitate) and after a few days of use she felt a noticeable effect of the drug. Her friend bought the same cream, but there was no positive result even after a month of use. In this case, to improve the condition of facial skin, you will need cosmetics with retinaldehyde, which is quickly converted into retinoic acid.

Before purchasing any anti-aging cosmetic product for facial skin care, you need to assess the condition and type of your skin.

You also need to carefully read the component composition of the cream, find out the type of vitamin and in what dosage it was used. If you need a strong product, you should choose a product with true retinol.

The minimum retinol content in anti-aging products is 0.2%. For retinol acetate/palmitate, the value is many times greater.

Retinol, even in small dosages, will have a beneficial effect on the skin. However, in this case the result will come much later. If the cream does not contain retinol or it is at the end of the list of ingredients, this means that the concentration of the substance in the drug is not significant. Experts recommend starting with creams with a low content of retinol and its derivatives.

Retinol in the pharmacy

There is not a single manufacturer that does not produce products containing vitamin A. It is included in creams, serums, ointments, and is available in capsules.

On the shelves of pharmacies you can find vitamin A preparations in the form of injection ampoules, capsules and oil solution. Wide choice and reasonable price are the advantages of pharmacy products. Thus, a 50 ml bottle of retinol acetate (3.44% substance content) can be purchased for 60 rubles, a similar product made in Israel, Anna Lotan Renova (80 capsules) costs 4,000 rubles. The Israeli drug contains vitamin complexes, mineral components and various oils.

Which means to choose is a purely personal matter. It depends on individual preferences, age, financial income and, most importantly, the condition of the skin and its type.

When choosing a form of a drug with vitamin A, it is worth remembering that retinoids are unstable and quickly break down. The substance retains its properties best and longest in ampoule and capsule preparations.

Precautionary measures

The main advantage of retinol can also be its disadvantage. The vitamin helps exfoliate dead skin cells. This process is accompanied by peeling and redness of the skin. The reaction usually appears 2-3 hours after using the substance. This may be accompanied by dryness and irritation of the skin. It takes time for the skin to get used to it - most often several weeks. That is why it is important to follow safety precautions when using drugs and cosmetics containing retinol and its derivatives.

The opinion that vitamin A is harmful to young skin is wrong. Retinol - copes well with acne, all kinds of rashes and other skin diseases characteristic of young facial skin. In addition, wrinkles are an insidious thing; sometimes the first small folds appear before the age of 30.

Retinol in liquid form can be added in small quantities (1 drop) to day and night creams, to make face masks, adding vitamin A to the main composition. For masks, substances from the retinol family are recommended to be mixed with oils - olive, peach, almond, coconut, jojoba and others, since the vitamin belongs to the fat-soluble group.

For those who love and know how to experiment with cosmetics, the following facial skin care regimen is suitable:

  1. Days 1 and 2 – use of a product containing vitamin A;
  2. Day 3 – face serum and cream containing fruit acids (alpha hydroxy acids, AHA);
  3. Days 4 and 5 – use of a product with retinol;
  4. Days 6 and 7 – rest for the skin – use regular creams to moisturize the skin.

Let's take a closer look at the operating principle of this circuit. Lipovitamins of group A cannot be used daily, because their main effect is exfoliation of dead particles of the epidermis. During the first 2 days, vitamin A will actively exfoliate unnecessary particles. On the 3rd day, cosmetics with fruit acid will cleanse the facial skin of excess particles. Peeling will contribute to more active work of the vitamin in the deep layers of the skin on days 4 and 5 of the program. For the next 2 days, your facial skin needs to rest and use mild moisturizing cosmetic products.

It is recommended to repeat the procedure no less than 14 days later. The technique described above can be used constantly, alternating the procedure phase with rest.

Even if you want to get quick results in a couple of days, you shouldn’t risk the health and beauty of your facial skin. Too intensive use of vitamin A can lead to undesirable consequences, which will be difficult to get rid of. Only proper use of vitamin A, a healthy diet, an active lifestyle and giving up bad habits will help you slightly rejuvenate and cleanse your face. A woman is beautiful at any age!

Vitamin A has strong anti-inflammatory properties. In addition, retinol for facial skin can accelerate metabolic processes, which is why it is often used for acne and to eliminate facial wrinkles.

Beneficial features

Retinol acetate and palmitate are vitamin A that is often used to regenerate facial skin. It is characterized by strong regenerating and moisturizing properties. At the same time, the molecules of this substance have a very small molecular weight, due to which they can penetrate even into the deep layers of the epidermis. This allows you to influence not only the studded layer, but also the deep ones, eliminating internal inflammatory processes.

Retinol for face

It is prescribed during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and preparation for childbirth. This substance helps cleanse the body not only from the outside, but also from the inside. But in this case, it is better to consult a doctor first. By the way, there are special tablets or entire complexes of nutrients and minerals for internal use.

Benefits of retinol for facial skin:

  1. It is a natural antioxidant. It helps to increase the resistance of the epidermis to external irritating factors, protect it from exposure to ultraviolet rays, and relieve itching during the inflammatory process. In addition, vitamin A is able to cleanse the skin of various toxins;
  2. The substance helps improve blood circulation. This allows you to provide the necessary nutrition to the deep layers of the epidermis;
  3. The product strengthens blood vessels. This is a significant advantage in eliminating blood vessels on the face;
  4. Retinol peeling will help remove acne, subcutaneous pimples and blackheads, as well as ensure normal pore function. It is performed together with fruit acids, due to which it completely renews the top layer of the skin;
  5. It helps fight the primary signs of aging due to its strong antioxidant and moisturizing properties. It strengthens collagen and elastane fibers, and also “provokes” their increased work.

Retinol is available in the following forms:

  1. Injection. Despite the name, it is often used in cosmetology practice. It is this form of retinol that is most convenient to use at home. It absorbs quickly, leaves no residue on clothing and is known for its high concentration of nutrients;
  2. Oil solution. Externally, it is very similar to a solution of tocopherol acetate or vitamin E. It is recommended to apply it to dry or sensitive facial skin. Due to the presence of oils in the composition, this type of vitamin will help not only deeply nourish, but also moisturize the skin. For the best effect, you can drink a spoonful of acetate in the morning on an empty stomach;
  3. Tablets or capsules. Known for their low vitamin content. Here, retinol is most often combined with other nutritional and mineral components.

Reviews claim that a concentrated solution of retinol for the face has the most powerful effect.

Instructions on how to use retinol

Masks with this vitamin have excellent effectiveness: they significantly speed up metabolic processes, due to which you can get rid of various skin problems in a short time. They can be used to eliminate almost all known aesthetic skin problems. The simplest application option is to apply the solution in its pure form.

Apply the solution to cleansed skin and do not wash off the mixture. If possible, it is recommended to leave this mask on overnight. If it is more convenient to do it during the day, you can leave the solution for 20 minutes.

For acne on the face Retinol in oil helps a lot. You need to mix blue clay in equal proportions with water, then add ½ part of the vitamin to the mass. Apply the mask in a thick layer and leave until it hardens. You can repeat it every other day.

For severe comedones or ulcers You can make masks with aloe and vitamin A. The leaf of the plant is broken off and cut along the growth line of the spines. The pulp is scraped out with a teaspoon. After this, it is mixed with a vitamin ampoule. For severe inflammatory processes, only 3 masks are enough to relieve skin soreness.

Lifting effect provides a remedy with raw potatoes and eggs. This mask with retinol has not only a strong cosmetic effect, but also a healing one. Potato helps tighten collagen fibers, while egg and retinol nourish and refresh the epidermis. Half a potato is grated on a fine grater, and 1 egg and 1 spoon of retinol are added to the mixture. Everything is thoroughly mixed and applied to the chest, neck and face.

Also for intensive hydration The use of retinol and honey is suitable. This natural sweetness has excellent nutritional and brightening properties. Honey is heated to a liquid state, after which vitamin is added to it. If desired, you can also add any suitable vegetable oil. Keep the mixture on your face and neck for 20 minutes.

The only thing more useful than one vitamin is a mixture of them. For deep nutrition and hydration and eliminating age spots, it is recommended to buy acetate, tocopherol and vitamin B12 at the pharmacy. All these substances are mixed in equal quantities and applied to problem areas. An important fact is that it is not advisable to use the mixture just a few hours after its preparation - all the vitamins have evaporated and there will be no effect. Keep the solution for no more than 30 minutes. You can repeat it 2 times a week.

According to reviews, this remedy will help solve almost all age-related problems, and the effect is noticeable after the first use.

Everyone wants to look younger and more attractive for as long as possible. But how to achieve rejuvenation and at the same time preserve your natural beauty, without resorting to quite expensive cosmetic procedures and surgery? Retinoic ointment for wrinkles today is actively popularized by cosmetologists as an alternative and inexpensive remedy for a well-known age-related defect.

Opinions about retinoic ointment constantly vary. Some claim that this remedy not only treats the upper layer of the epidermis, it also helps improve the condition of the skin at the cellular level. Others who have tried the drug are sure that acne ointment is not able to cope with wrinkles and make them less noticeable. How do you know which of these statements is true? Is retinoic ointment really capable of prolonging the youth of the skin and making it fresher and smoother?

What is retinoic ointment for wrinkles?

Retinoic ointment is a medicinal product that is intended for external use. Most often the product is used for the following purposes:

  1. Acne treatment;
  2. Acne treatment;
  3. Treatment of comedones;
  4. Treatment of seborrhea and rosacea.

Retinoic ointment has attracted special attention from cosmetologists due to its composition. The unique components contained in it made it possible to use this substance not only for therapeutic, but also for cosmetic purposes. Numerous reviews of people who used the product to treat acne showed that their skin not only became healthier, it acquired a more even tone, smooth and elastic structure.

Retinoic ointment is a drug that belongs to the group of topical retinoids. The main active component of the product is isotretinoin (retinoic acid), which can effectively fight not only the obvious inflammatory process, but also deep wrinkles.

This active component can be called the closest analogue of vitamin A. It has a number of useful properties, namely:

  1. Evens out skin texture;
  2. Restores natural skin color;
  3. Removes age spots;
  4. Confidently fights the signs of aging.

Skin aging is most often associated with vitamin A deficiency and deficiencies. The skin becomes dull, flabby, and inelastic. Subsequently, small wrinkles appear, which become much more noticeable and deeper over time. Replenishing the necessary vitamin component allows you to stop this process.

Thus, the use of retinoic ointment for cosmetic purposes can significantly improve the condition of aging skin. However, despite the fact that the ointment is not a purely cosmetic product, it must be used in compliance with all prescribed rules. Improper use of the ointment can cause allergic reactions, age spots, dryness and irritation.

Properties of the ointment and its main advantages

Proper use of retinoic ointment can provide a lasting anti-aging effect that cannot be achieved with ordinary creams or lotions. Thus, experts were able to prove that the ointment has the following number of amazing cosmetic properties:

  1. Helps reduce the intensity of sebum secretion;
  2. Improves the elasticity of the epidermis;
  3. Restores the natural regenerating properties of the skin;
  4. Helps restore the natural color of the skin;
  5. Evens out skin texture;
  6. Helps thoroughly cleanse pores of sebaceous plugs;
  7. Saturates the epidermis with oxygen;
  8. Reduces inflammation;
  9. Reduces the intensity of expression wrinkles;
  10. Helps lighten age spots.

In some cases, the cosmetic properties of retinoic ointment are viewed with skepticism. However, numerous studies have proven that the ointment can fight much more than just acne and irritation. The ability of the main component of the product (isotretinoin) to penetrate into the deep layers of the epidermis made it possible to influence the functions of the sebaceous glands. Thus, regular exposure to aging skin leads to the fact that the skin condition begins to recover at the cellular level.

Composition and release form

Retinoic ointment is a fairly affordable product that can be easily purchased at any pharmacy. Far from the same can be said about a number of popular skin rejuvenation products. However, it is not only accessibility that makes retinoic ointment so popular and in demand.

The most attractive thing about retinoic ointment is its composition. It looks like this:

  1. Isotretinoin – reduces the secretion of the sebaceous glands, helps restore the natural state and appearance of the skin;
  2. Dibunol;
  3. Butyloxyanisole;
  4. Emulsion wax;
  5. Vaseline oil;
  6. Ethanol;
  7. Glycerol;
  8. Purified water.

Retinoic ointment is available in small gram tubes:

The ointment has a yellowish tint and a thick, rather greasy consistency. It should be remembered that the product is used purely for external use. The concentration of the main substance, isotretinoin, can range from 0.05 to 0.1%. The drug is sold in pharmacies without a doctor's prescription.

Usage

The use of retinoic ointment can actually transform the face and make a person's appearance significantly younger and more attractive. It will take some time to achieve noticeable results, as well as strict adherence to all instructions. Ignoring recommendations for use can lead not only to no rejuvenation results at all, but also to worse consequences. People often experience severe acne and severe irritation.

! Retinoic ointment can be used by both women and men. The product perfectly fights age-related problems of any intensity.

Not everyone is ready to use retinoic ointment for several months, expecting the desired result. Almost everyone wants to see noticeable changes almost immediately. Unlike anti-aging creams, retinoic ointment provides a longer lasting and deeper effect.

The instructions for the ointment have some nuances that should be taken into account. The tool is used as follows:

  1. The skin of the face must be thoroughly cleansed. To do this, just wash your face with warm boiled water without soap or other cleansing substances;
  2. The skin should be blotted with a soft cloth or towel to dry it completely;
  3. The ointment is applied to dry skin in a thin, even layer. Areas with the deepest wrinkles should be treated especially well;
  4. The ointment should be left until completely absorbed for 20 minutes;
  5. When the product is absorbed, you need to wash your face with warm water and apply any moisturizer.

If after applying the ointment you feel an unpleasant tightness or burning sensation, then the product should be washed off immediately. This will avoid allergies and irritation.

To make the use of the product even more effective, you need to consider the following points:

  1. When using retinoic ointment, sunbathing and solariums are contraindicated;
  2. The ointment should not be used in the summer, since even the slightest tan in combination with the product can provoke the appearance of age spots;
  3. Treatment with cosmetics containing alcohol is prohibited. Scrubs, peeling and fruit acids should also not be used;
  4. The skin should not be subjected to mechanical damage or contact with chemicals;
  5. The average course duration is 30 days. If you have excessively deep wrinkles, then the course increases;
  6. The ointment cannot be applied 2 times a day. The substance is used once a day before bedtime.

It is preferable to use retinoic ointment after 30 years. The product is indicated if you have experienced the first age-related changes in your skin.

For the test, it is necessary to apply a small amount of the substance to the wrist, cover it with a band-aid and leave it in this state for a day. If after this time you do not experience any redness, itching or burning, the ointment can be used for rejuvenation. If the slightest redness occurs, the ointment should be removed from the skin and used for the procedure.

Analogues of retinoic ointment

Today, the Russian market does not have direct analogues of retinoic ointment, which could be used with the same success for anti-aging procedures. However, there are so-called pseudo-analogs of the product, which contain retinoids of a different type. For the most part, they fight acne and acne, improve the overall condition of the skin, but do not fight aging. These means include:

  1. "Retrin-A";
  2. Lotion "Retasol";
  3. Tablets "Acnecutane", "Roaccutane".

Retinoic ointment is a unique substance that, according to experts, literally remodels your face. The ointment not only reduces the depth of wrinkles and makes the skin look better, but also:

  1. Stimulates collagen production;

Benefit or harm? Reviews from cosmetologists

Only specialists can answer the question of how beneficial the ointment is for the skin. The opinions of cosmetologists most often agree that Retinoic ointment is a universal cosmetic product and is suitable for a wide variety of skin types. Here are just some opinions of authoritative experts:

Review 1:

Retinoic ointment is well tolerated by patients regardless of age. This remedy was previously used only as a cure for acne and acne, which is no secret. And only after a while, when many of the patients began to notice its rejuvenating effect, dermatologists began to mention it more and more often.

In cosmetology, we use this product quite often. According to my own statistics, allergic reactions occur in only 1 out of 100 patients. In order to avoid skin rashes, we first apply the ointment to the wrist and wait for a rejection reaction. I recommend this method to those women who decide to use Retinoic ointment on their own.

Evgenia Seleverstova, cosmetologist

Review 2:

The effect of using the ointment is absolutely in every case. Personally, I will say that even girls in their early 20s notice how the ointment smoothes out the smallest facial wrinkles and makes the skin more elastic.

In my practice, there was only one case when Retinoic ointment did not suit the client. The girl was very upset, because all her friends praised the ointment, and she really wanted to rejuvenate her face with it. But redness of the skin around the eyes and obvious swelling forced me to stop the procedure.

In general, I recommend purchasing the ointment to all clients who come to me with a desire to try youth injections. Before starting painful and expensive injections, I recommend Retinoic procedures.

Tatyana Bun, cosmetologist

Review 3:

In the medical practice of a dermatologist, Retinoic ointment is used more than often. My patients, who have repeatedly come with the desire to get rid of acne, rosacea or the consequences of these ailments, almost always receive a prescription from me that includes Retinoic ointment. The point is not that this is a panacea for all diseases, but that the drug has a very simple, but safe and effective composition.

Those of my patients who are well over 30 have come to me with gratitude many times, and the point is not that the ointment helped them cope with acne or seborrhea. They often conveyed their great gratitude to me for the additional effect of the Retinoic composition. The thing is that I personally observed the excellent anti-aging effect that this ointment gives. I’m not afraid to be unfounded, but most patients after a course of ointment looked 3-5 years younger.

Sergey Vlasov, dermatologist

Review 4:

Retinoic ointment for wrinkles is a godsend. There are several advantages: first, it’s inexpensive, second, it’s natural, and third, it’s effective! My clients, who have been wearing tones of makeup for many years, especially theater actors and TV presenters, every single one uses “retina,” as it is colloquially called. At first I didn’t even know what kind of ointment it was, but then I couldn’t stand it and decided to try it on my own clients. Since the skin of my clients is usually very dry, but clean, I can’t say anything about the effectiveness of Retinoeva in the fight against acne. But I know for sure that the ointment rejuvenates very well and quickly. The skin tightens and becomes more elastic. Unbelievable but true!

Olga Svetlichnaya, makeup artist

Retinoic ointment for wrinkles, review 5:

Retinoic ointment is a product that can delay cosmetic procedures in the form of injections or facial skin tightening. This product has an absolutely positive effect on a wide variety of tissues that are opposite in structure. The medicine copes well with dry, gray and lifeless skin.

In addition to the fact that Retinoic ointment perfectly tightens tissue, it also plays a significant role in exfoliating dead skin cells. You can use it yourself, the main thing is to find out if you are allergic to any of the components of the product. If in the middle of the course the patient notices redness, swelling or itching of the tissues, then use should be stopped for 3-4 days. After this, you can start the course again.

Yaroslava Volzhenko, dermatologist

Consumer Reviews

Retinoic ointment is better than any lotions, cucumbers on the face and creams at exorbitant prices. I found it at home quite by accident; I once bought it for my daughter for acne, which almost everyone suffers during adolescence. I looked on the Internet what this product was and found out that it can be used for anti-aging purposes. I took a risk and didn’t regret it. I used it for exactly 2 weeks and saw an amazing effect. The skin on the forehead and around the mouth became tightened, very elastic and softer. Although, to be honest, at first I didn’t really believe that there would be an effect. Plus, I also got rid of acne on my chin. Now, if a pimple pops up, I immediately smear it with Rtinoic ointment and everything goes away.

I suffered very much from the indentations on my face left by acne. At puberty, this nasty thing befell me in full and I was able to get rid of acne only with the help of nitrogen burning. But the characteristic scars on his cheeks and cheekbones remained. I went to a dermatologist and was prescribed Retinoic ointment. The product is very good, the pits are smoothed out and the skin is tightened. Now my face is almost perfect, and as a bonus, retinol helped me get rid of pronounced bags under my eyes.

I have a tendency to have large pimples on my face, which I haven’t done before, but they keep appearing. I break out especially often during the cold season and high humidity. I went to a cosmetologist, but his procedures don’t help me for long, it lasts about 3-4 weeks and then I get acne again. Now I use Retinoic ointment and so far I am completely satisfied with the effect. When I finish the course, I will write about the results in the comments.

Retinoic ointment for wrinkles is truly a universal remedy. At 68 years old, I use it with my granddaughter. I - for rejuvenation, my granddaughter - for pimples. My dermatologist recommended it to us. No cream has tightened my skin as much as this ointment. I advise you to try it, the main thing is that there are no allergies, otherwise you will have to be treated for rashes and redness.
