Solcoseryl. Instructions for the use of an ointment for the face against wrinkles, acne, a mask with Dimexidum. Price

Solcoseryl gel and ointment are inexpensive pharmaceutical preparations that have good results for cosmetic purposes. The article discusses its properties, instructions, methods of using the ointment 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). Protein-free dialysate is obtained from natural raw materials using hemodialysis.

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

Auxiliary substances that form the basis of the ointment:

• Cetyl (palmitic) alcohol - a stabilizer, thickener, safe in cosmetics. It belongs 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, is part of the lipid barrier (approximately 1/3 of skin lipids). Cholesterol molecules are hydrophobic, that is, they do not mix with water. It helps to increase the rigidity of the stratum corneum, that is, to resist unwanted influences, as well as to maintain the required level of rigidity. Cholesterol is a natural ingredient. It is recognized as safe in cosmetics.
• White Vaseline - questions can be raised by 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 of a film on the surface that protects against adverse effects for the skin, including severe frosts. The petroleum jelly molecules are too large to penetrate the skin. This component does not officially have contraindications for use in cosmetics.
• Water for injections - purified sterilized water.
• Food additives are used as preservatives, which are usually used in pairs:

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