Russian pharmacy cosmetics. Goodbye acne: cosmetics for problem skin that really work

Recently, more and more buyers in our country prefer to purchase cosmetics in the pharmacy chain, rightly believing that it is more reliable and of high quality. Today, most pharmacies have expanded their range of products with products from well-known cosmetic companies.

Types of cosmetic products

All products of this type can be divided into three independent groups:

• medical cosmetics;
• selective cosmetics;
• mass market.

Medical pharmacy cosmetics are used for the prevention and treatment of certain types of diseases of the skin, hair, nails. It contains biologically active additives. This type includes products of the brand "Sofya".

Mass-market products are available to most consumers and are intended for high-quality care for the delicate skin of the face, hands and feet, as well as hair and nails. This type of cosmetics is sold not only in pharmacies, but also in specialized stores.

Natural cosmetic

Cosmetics with a perfectly matched combination of natural ingredients, the latest technology and great textures - Nuxe ("Nyuks"). Essential oils, vitamins, fruit acids nourish and restore the skin, relieve irritation, maintain elasticity and youth.

Hypoallergenic products based on essential oils and plant extracts - CAUDALIE ("Kodali"). They act on specific skin problems, and not just provide preventive care.

"Doliva" - German cosmetics. It is based on olive oil. The company offers customers products for everyday additional use and skin and hair care. The range of the company includes tonic, protective, nourishing products.

We take care of hair

PHYTO ("Phyto") is a well-known dermatological brand specializing in the production of high-quality and effective hair care products. All herbal extracts included in the products are optimally dosed.

KLORAN ("Kloran") - these cosmetics contain extracts of medicinal plants and herbs (nettle, nasturtium, thistle, macassar, quinine, etc.). In scientific laboratories "Kloran" developed the ideal ratio of these extracts.

Nutricosmetics

In addition to effectively solving problems with hair and skin, INNEOV products make up for the lack of vitamins and useful micro- and macroelements in the human diet. They deliver the necessary amount of active substances to the body.

The Danish line produces unique complexes for nourishing and improving skin condition. They contain active ingredients, collagen, which, like air, is necessary for healthy skin.

Hyaluronic acid

Today, many people know the beneficial effect of this component on the condition of the skin. What role does she play? Hyaluronic acid has a binding effect on water in the intercellular spaces, contributing to an increase in tissue resistance. One acid molecule binds and holds up to five hundred water molecules around itself. It distributes and transports it to the tissues. In addition, it is an excellent lubricant for the joints, normalizes intraocular pressure.

How does hyaluronic acid help the skin?

It is an effective tool for correcting age-related skin changes. Restores lost elasticity, fights against the formation of folds and wrinkles. The difficulty lies in the fact that in the cream it is quite difficult to maintain an active acid in a large volume, which can help dehydrated skin.

Selection of quality cosmetics

Pharmacy brands of cosmetics are constantly replenished, so every year it becomes more and more difficult to make the right choice. It is no secret that not all cosmetic products are of high quality even in the pharmacy chain. When choosing the necessary tool, pay attention to its percentage. Often, not very conscientious manufacturers go to the trick and include a tiny fraction of hyaluronic acid in their products (one percent or even less). Cosmetologists recommend choosing products with a daily dose of at least 150 mg. This concentration does not cause rapid addiction, but the effect will be very noticeable. This justifies the high cost of such drugs. Today, pharmacy cosmetics containing hyaluronic acid are produced by many manufacturers, but it is better to buy products from world famous brands such as OLAY, La Rochy Posay, Lancome, Estee Lauder.

Do not lag behind and domestic manufacturers. The following companies can be noted:

- "Kosmoteros" - manufactures products for facial skin and special dietary supplements.

- "Geltek" - with the help of this cosmetics it is possible to effectively fight superficial wrinkles and get rid of dry skin.

- "Pleyana" - a company whose products contain only natural ingredients.

- "Mirra" - the preparations include biotechnological hyaluronic acid.

By the way, the mentioned component is also available in its pure form (in ampoules). This acid is very effective, as it intensively moisturizes the epidermis. It can be used as an express option when you need to urgently put yourself in order.

The most effective and high-quality cosmetics containing hyaluronic acid are products of Japanese brands Hada Labo, Haru Hada, Sakura. These drugs are admired by women all over the world.

The modern pharmacy cosmetics market is represented by a variety of powerful and effective products aimed at caring for tired, aging skin. They can be used by women of absolutely any age category and with any dermatological problems. With their help, it is quite possible to cope with such problems as sagging skin, its dullness, as well as some types of skin diseases without the intervention of plastic surgeons. Now you should not “kill yourself” about each newly appeared wrinkle. If you wish, you can stop time and even turn it back.

Contraindications

Like all so-called anti-aging products, pharmaceutical cosmetics with hyaluronic acid can have side effects. It is not recommended to use it during pregnancy and lactation, with a tendency to edema. It is not worth using it for more than three months; it is also not recommended to combine such preparations with cosmetics containing fruit acids.

Everything is simple here: these are beauty products that are sold only in a pharmacy; you will not find them in ordinary cosmetic stores. The formulas are based on the latest achievements of cosmetic chemistry, the beauty industry, and pharmaceuticals.

Sometimes these products have been developed for years, and their effectiveness is proven by independent clinical studies.

The main goal of pharmacy cosmetics is to effectively correct skin imperfections, eliminate the problem from the inside. Unlike cosmetics, which are sold in stores, the pharmacy contains in higher concentrations:

As you might guess by the name, these funds are distributed in pharmacy chains, medical clinics or through online pharmacy stores.

“All dermatocosmetics (it is also called pharmacy, medical, active, cosmeceuticals) are manufactured according to standards close to those that apply when creating drugs, - - Testing for effectiveness and safety is mandatory.

At the same time, clinical studies of effectiveness, as in the case of tablets, take place in 3 stages:

testing of the active substance;

checking the performance of the product in vitro;

and finally, in vivo testing.

Formulas must be tested for hypoallergenicity, non-comedogenicity and safety for sensitive skin.

Types of pharmaceutical cosmetics for skin care

Washing agent

Since we are talking about pharmacy cosmetics, these products are aimed at solving problems:

elimination of oily sheen;

thorough cleansing of acne-prone skin;

gentle cleansing of sensitive skin prone to allergies and redness.

Micellar water

It easily and effectively removes impurities and makeup, while not irritating or injuring the skin. The main active ingredient is microscopic micelles, complex compounds of fatty acid esters. They are responsible for thorough cleansing. And glycerin in the composition of the product softens their effect.

Cream

It is selected individually depending on what problem needs to be solved. Some products help to cope with increased oiliness of the skin and acne, others - with dryness and dehydration, others fight hyperpigmentation, signs of photo- and chrono-aging.

The cream acts on the deep layers of the skin, improving blood circulation, the functioning of the sebaceous glands, and metabolic processes. When choosing it, skin type and age are taken into account.

Mask

Cleansing, moisturizing, nourishing - pharmacy masks are very effective. In some cases, for example, after hardware and injection rejuvenation techniques - mesotherapy, laser, they can become an alternative to professional masks. Of course, subject to proper and timely use.

How to choose pharmaceutical cosmetics for the face

For the remedy to be truly effective, choose it according to the type of skin and the specifics of the problems.

normal skin

There may be nuances with texture: for the winter period it should be denser, for the warm season - light.

Dry skin

The main active ingredients of cosmetics for dry skin are oils and hydrofixators. After all, this type needs not only active hydration, but also moisture retention.

Oily skin

Light sorbet creams, gels and fluids are useful. They reduce the production of sebum (sebum), mattify, while softening and moisturizing the skin well, giving radiance.

Problem skin

Perhaps, pharmacy products for this type of skin are the most. There are cleansing products, and matting masks, and acne special products. If you do not know which one to choose, consult a cosmetologist or dermatologist.

What you need to know about pharmaceutical cosmetics for the face: expert opinion

When studying the label of a pharmacy product, it may seem that in composition it is no different from the store. The same hyaluronic acid, collagen, plant extracts. But there are important differences: all active ingredients undergo additional testing and purification, and have a much higher concentration.

In addition to them, the composition of pharmacy cosmetics, as a rule, includes:

thermal water, which does not evaporate, but penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin;

zinc oxide is a well-known antiseptic;

lactic and glycolic acids - they stimulate cell regeneration, moisturize and nourish the skin;

polysaccharides (fermented kombucha tea extract, mosquito rose seed oil) - prevent skin aging and wilting.

“The fundamental point is the mechanism of action: if the cream from the store was created to maintain the normal condition of the skin, then dermatocosmetics are developed specifically to solve problems, and therefore have a higher bioavailability, the ability to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and really change its vital activity,” says Elena Eliseeva, Vichy medical consultant.“Pharmacy cosmetics often have a cumulative effect: they do not instantly mask imperfections, but work slowly but surely, eventually eliminating imperfections for a long time.”

Pros and cons of cosmetics from pharmacies

All pharmacy products are quite expensive - and this is perhaps their main drawback. The high price is due to the fact that the manufacturing company introduces patented ingredients and / or technologies into the composition, thanks to which the active ingredient is delivered exactly where it is needed.

For example, vitamin C. Everyone knows that this is an excellent antioxidant. However, the molecule of its most active form, L-ascorbic acid, is highly unstable and requires transdermal delivery to reach the deep layers of the skin. The development of such technologies is not cheap.

But trust me, it's worth it. After all, these tools:

hypoallergenic, their safety is clinically proven;

solve many problems, from acne and hyperpigmentation to the prevention of early aging;

they smell pleasant, have a comfortable texture (in laboratories they pay special attention to these qualities).

" What to do?" you ask. Well, definitely don't give up! And even if you can’t completely destroy the “enemy”, you will at least manage it, control it and minimize its consequences. Can you believe me, I have been fighting for the purity of my facial skin for a good 10 years! So, let's start with a few simple but mandatory rules:

You need to pull yourself together and stop pushing acne

I understand perfectly well that it is much easier said than done. The brain understands everything, but the hands still treacherously reach out to pick up the hated pimple. Therefore, I propose a radical solution - cut your nails short. Firstly, short nails are now at the peak of popularity again, and secondly, you will simply have nothing to injure your skin with.

Popular

We exclude chips, carbonated drinks, everything spicy and heavily fried from food

And instead of all these “goodies”, we introduce whole grains, avocados, vegetable oils, and red fish into the diet. Believe me, not only your skin, but the whole body will thank you!

We begin to properly and regularly (this is important !!!) take care of the skin of the face

The most common mistake when caring for problem skin is overdrying. It turns out a vicious circle: you want to get rid of inflammation with the help of alcohol-containing lotions and ointments, the skin dries out from them and begins to defend itself, producing even more sebum. Because of this, the number of inflammations increases, and so on in a circle ...

Now let's take a closer look at problem skin care, talk about what to do and what drugs really work.

First, the skin with inflammation must be thoroughly cleansed. In this case, purification should be of two types:

• Daily soft. It can be a soft cleansing gel or foam that gently removes all impurities from the skin without destroying its water-fat balance. My choice is Soothing Gel Cleanser by Murad. It is not cheap, but the result is guaranteed.
• Deep cleansing (1 time in 5-6 days). A real salvation for all owners of problem skin is AHA- and BHA-acids. They very carefully dissolve dead cells, cleanse pores, renew the skin and moisturize it (unlike scrubs, the abrasive particles of which only injure the skin and thereby provoke new rashes). My choice is Dermalogica's Gentle Cream Exfoliant (one of the best acid exfoliators in the world, you can trust me!).

Secondly, problematic skin simply needs additional hydration. You may be surprised to know that oily skin needs no less moisture than dry skin (only moisturizing should be lighter: not creams, but fluids). Moisturizing should also be of two types:

• Daily. I suggest using light fluids and lotions and not going overboard with the matte effect. My choice is Skyn ​​Iceland's Antidote Cooling Daily Lotion. During periods of active breakouts, I use Dr. Clarifying Day Oil for oily skin. Hauschka (it does not clog pores, perfectly moisturizes, heals wounds, reduces sebum production). I often combine it with the Revitalizing Mask from the same brand.
• Deep (1 time per week). For deep cleansing, most moisturizing masks are perfect. It is desirable that they are also gel-based. My choice is Dr.Grandel Hydro Active Moisture Mask.

Beauty, youth, health are the three main "components" of female attractiveness. And if nature and genetics (where without it) rewarded some with impeccably even and smooth skin that accepts any care and is not covered with age spots, acne and comedones, then others are much less fortunate. The latter, unfortunately, are the majority… Keeping the skin clean, smooth and healthy is not as easy as it might seem at first glance. That is why, for centuries, pharmacists, chemists and other scientists have developed unique formulas that led to the creation of cosmeceuticals.

What it is?

Cosmeceuticals are cosmetics with medicinal properties and special ingredients that help achieve impressive results and fight various dermatological problems: acne, pigmentation, dryness, flaking, seborrhea, rosacea, couperose, etc. Unlike conventional cosmetics, which have caring, nourishing properties and does not penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin, cosmeceuticals have a targeted effect, eliminate the cause of the appearance of imperfections, improve the structure and characteristics of the skin and penetrate into the deeper layers of the epidermis, affecting the problem from the inside.

The main criterion that distinguishes cosmeceuticals from ordinary cosmetics is its composition and high requirements for production conditions. Components for cosmeceutical preparations are selected so that they are combined with each other and can solve problems together. The composition of all medical cosmetic preparations includes vitamins, herbs, thermal water, retinoids, ceramides, amino acids, peptides, AHA and BHA acids, minerals, bisabolol, allantoin, UV filters, collagen and elastin hydrolyzate. Also, extracts and extracts of fruits, plants, essential oils are often added.

Cosmeceuticals are sold mainly in pharmacies, with rare exceptions, they can be found in the mass market or online stores. Before buying a product, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist or cosmetologist and, if necessary, take tests. The fact is that the same acne appears for various reasons: fungus, bacteria, hormones - therefore, the composition of cosmeceuticals for solving a specific problem should be different.

Medical cosmetics is also good because it does not contain fragrances, parabens, antibiotics and hormones. If the manufacturer uses a preservative, then only natural, so as not to provoke unexpected negative reactions on the skin. Due to the absence of preservatives, the shelf life of cosmeceuticals is an order of magnitude lower than that of conventional cosmetics, so you should not buy a product in large quantities, especially if you are not sure that you will use it in a timely manner.

Cosmeceuticals in most cases are hypoallergenic, have no side effects (with rare exceptions); in addition, due to the absence of flavors and fragrances, it smells almost nothing - this is an additional plus for people with a heightened sense of smell.

Among the minuses can be noted the high cost and addiction. Due to its naturalness and usefulness, cosmeceuticals are not cheap pleasure. The price of funds varies greatly and can reach up to 15 thousand rubles for a 50 ml jar of cream. On the other hand, luxury cosmetics are in the same range, but they are not able to solve dermatological problems at the cellular level, but only create a visible effect of healthy and radiant skin, so the choice is obvious here. This is especially true for people with really problematic skin. Regarding addiction, we can say that the skin has rather high adaptive properties: the receptors that absorb useful components are sooner or later saturated with them, cease to perceive and succumb to their influence. Therefore, problems may reappear, unless, of course, they have been completely resolved during the time during which you use cosmeceuticals.

7 drugstore brands to look out for

Vichy
