Balm Karavaeva Vitaon for face

Hello, users of the Obzorka site!

I believe that there is no need to write reviews about medications, and sometimes it is extremely unsafe, since readers of reviews can harm themselves without knowing it, so I think that it is the doctor who should treat and he should also prescribe medications. But as you know, there are exceptions to every rule, and my review is also an exception, since I believe that the object of this review simply cannot harm, since it consists only of herbs.

So, I present to your attention Karavaev’s Balm “Vitaon”.

I came across this balm quite recently. Already at the beginning of the year, when it was cold, my lips became chapped and began to become covered with a small film, which if you touched a little, began to bleed, which means small wounds appeared. At first I struggled with this “scourge” with hydrogen peroxide; if before it helped, in this case it only dried out my lips and nothing more. I even tried folk remedies - I applied an aloe leaf, but that didn’t help either. Then, two days after the start of this “misfortune,” the pharmacy brought me Karavaev’s “Vitaon” balm, which I began to use. I’ll tell you about my impressions below, but now let’s figure out what kind of balm this is.

Balsam Karavaev "Vitaon" is an extract from medicinal plants.

There is a composition on one of the sides of the package.

And here we see that the composition is truly “herbal”. There are only a few herbs in the composition: mint, wormwood, and chamomile. And all herbs are very useful in their own way.

Judging by such a good composition, it means that the spectrum of action should also be large. We also learn about this from the information on the packaging. According to the manufacturer, the herbs and essential oils that are included in this balm have long been used in various fields of both medicine and cosmetology.

Herbs have wound-healing, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antimicrobial properties.

This balm is produced in Moscow by Litomed LLC.

Here we see that the volume of the balm bottle is 25 ml. And this balm costs 132 rubles.

At the bottom of the package there is information about where you can find the expiration date. And on the top of the package there is an emblem and an inscription stating that this is a natural remedy.

Now we look at the bottle itself, the composition is once again stated there, and there we find that the shelf life of the balm is until October 2017. The balm is used quite sparingly, the shelf life is very good, you can use it for more than a year.

The bottle is made of tinted glass and has a simple screw cap. It is also additionally closed with a special little thing that prevents leakage in an inclined position. Many medications that have a fatty structure are equipped with such things.

Personally, I applied this balm using cotton swabs, I must say it was quite convenient. I tried applying it with a cotton pad, but in this case the balm quickly became saturated and my fingers became greasy.

The balm itself has a greasy texture, similar to oil, and the color is slightly lighter than regular sunflower oil.

It applies very easily to the skin and lips. The lips feel oily, but after a while it goes away and you feel moisturized and the dryness disappears. It gives the impression of a slight chill; I think this effect is created due to the fact that it contains mint. At first it was not entirely pleasant, but then I even liked the “chill” effect. In general, it is recommended to apply the balm in a thin layer two to three times a day. But I wanted to see the effect much faster, so I used the balm every 1.5-2 hours. I did not notice any allergies or other side effects. But the “misfortune” in the form of chapping began to disappear, the wounds began to heal, and everything finally healed three or four days after the start of use.

I am sure that in other areas the balm also shows brilliant results in the fight against skin problems.

The balm can also be used as a preventive measure to maintain youthful and smooth skin. In this case, the balm perfectly moisturizes the skin and makes it softer. This is an excellent replacement for non-natural creams, but the fat content of the balm can be considered a disadvantage.

More detailed information about the spectrum of action of Karavaev's balm "Vitaon" is written on the insert.

Generally a balm "Vitaon" is available in two types.

Vitaon based on soybean oil (blue label, in this case I have the same one),

Vitaon based on olive oil and with a higher concentration of plant extracts (red label).

The insert also contains folk recipes against colds from Karavaev. Simply put, advertising of other medications.

To sum up my review, I can say that this balm turned out to be very effective and efficient, which cannot be said about all modern drugs.

I was pleased that the written properties of the drug turned out to be real, and not just promises, and I was also pleased with the natural composition. Not all medications can boast of this.

In general, I’m glad that I learned about such an effective drug, in case of problems with the skin or mucous membranes, I know what to use, and I think the result will not be long in coming.

4 reviews for “Vitaon (Karavaev balm)”

One of my indispensable aids in the first aid kit. And from bites, and from burns, and just to moisturize the skin!

I put this product in my nose and on my little child. Saves.

Oh, how the ENT doctor scolded me for my independence in putting this balm into my nose. The doctor's verdict was this: do not drip oily liquids into the nose, since the oil causes the cilia on the nose to stick together and they cannot secrete mucus normally and function normally in principle. I'm not against Vitaon, just food for thought

Three years ago the doctor advised and since then we have practically never gotten sick with our children, we use Aqua Maris after rinsing the nose twice a day

Just don’t expect a quick therapeutic effect from Vitaon, since its effect is mild and gradual. In case of severe lesions of the skin or mucous membranes, the balm is used as an addition to the main, potent drugs.

No side effects of Vitaon were detected. There is only one contraindication: hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients in the balm.

Vitaon has a pleasant, rich smell, although some people think it is too concentrated.

Since the balm is made on the basis of olive oil, it is absorbed quite slowly and leaves stains on clothes.
