Solcoseryl. Instructions for the use of facial ointments for wrinkles, acne, a mask with Dimexidum. Price

Solcoseryl gel and ointment are inexpensive pharmaceutical preparations that have good cosmetic results. The article discusses its properties, instructions, methods of using ointments for facial skin care.

Chemical composition

The main element of the ointment is deproteinized dialysate, which is obtained from the blood of healthy dairy calves (2.07 mg per 1 g of ointment). The dialysate purified from proteins is obtained from natural raw materials by hemodialysis.

The substrate that remains contains a large number of amino acids, glycoproteins, nucleotides. The molecular weight of these molecules is not more than 5000 daltons, which is comparable with the size of human skin cells.

Excipients that make up the basis of the ointment:

• Cetyl (palmitic) alcohol is a stabilizer safe in cosmetics and a thickener. It refers to fatty alcohols. The product is used to soften the skin and increase its elasticity. It creates a thin protective film on the surface of the skin, allowing the skin to breathe freely, allowing oxygen and carbon dioxide to pass through. Cetyl alcohol promotes hydration by reducing moisture evaporation.
• Cholesterol (cholesterol) – stabilizer, emulsifier, viscosity regulator. Cholesterol is found in almost all tissues of a living organism, and is part of the lipid barrier (approximately 1/3 of skin lipids). Molecules of cholesterol are hydrophobic, that is, they do not mix with water. It helps to increase the rigidity of the stratum corneum, that is, resistance to unwanted effects, as well as maintaining the necessary level of rigidity. Cholesterol is a natural component. It is recognized as safe in cosmetics.
• White petrolatum – questions can cause the origin of petroleum jelly as a petrochemical product. But one cannot deny its positive properties such as the ability to protect, moisturize, soften the skin. This is due to the formation on the surface of the film, which protects against adverse effects on the skin, including from severe frosts. Vaseline molecules are too large to penetrate the skin. This component has no official contraindications for use in cosmetics.
• Water for injection – purified sterilized water.
• As preservatives, food additives are used , which are usually used in pairs:

1. E218 – methyl parahydroxybenzoate, is considered biologically and environmentally safe, the opposite opinion has no scientific evidence;
2. E216 – propyl parahydroxybenzoate, considered safe for external use, is prohibited in the food industry.

Indications for use in cosmetology
