Release form

A fairly effective remedy against wrinkles is Retinoic ointment. It includes components that help restore skin cells, eliminate inflammation and stabilize sebum secretion.

[ 3 ]

Solcoseryl ointment

Since Solcoseryl contains natural components that can easily pass through cell membranes, a beneficial effect from the action of this ointment is noted. Even after a short use of this drug, some external changes can be noticed on the skin:

• smoothing out small wrinkles;
• restoration of freshness and healthy complexion;
• face lift;
• elimination of inflammatory processes.

Radevit ointment for wrinkles

The ointment contains a high concentration of vitamins A, E, and D. With constant use of Radevit, the condition of the skin improves significantly - rather deep wrinkles are smoothed out, and the color becomes fresher.

Heparin ointment

Heparin ointment has effective anti-edematous properties, which allows it to effectively remove wrinkles and bags under the eyes from the face. Although it should be taken into account that it will not be possible to smooth out deep expression lines with its help. But this drug can make small wrinkles almost invisible.

Relief ointment

Relief ointment is often used for cosmetic procedures - it eliminates bruises that appear under the eyes, as well as facial wrinkles. It contains components that prevent swelling and help normalize local blood circulation. In addition, it includes omega-3 fatty acids, which effectively nourish the skin and create a healthy and fresh look. But it should be taken into account that frequent use of this ointment is not allowed, because as a result, the skin will be overdried and may wrinkle.

Hydrocortisone ointment

The action of Hydrocortisone ointment is based on the retention of fluid in skin cells, due to which it can smooth out shallow wrinkles. A small swelling is formed at the site of application, which allows you to hide wrinkles. The ointment does not cause allergies.

Zinc ointment for wrinkles

Zinc ointment can effectively combat small wrinkles. The active ingredient of the drug - zinc - is an excellent sun protection agent. It protects the skin from UV radiation, thereby preventing early aging and photoaging of the skin. Zinc ointment can be used by people with oily or normal skin, but not with dry skin, as it dries the epidermis. If you have dry skin, you need to mix the ointment with a moisturizer before applying.

Curiosin ointment

Curiosin ointment, which contains hyaluronic acid and zinc, is quite effective in dealing with wrinkles. These substances provide the medicine with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, and in addition, they help restore epidermal cells. Since the drug does not interact with other substances, it can be used in combination with various lotions or tonics.

We see the ointment

The Videstim ointment contains retinol, which promotes accelerated epithelial growth, resulting in wrinkle smoothing. The preparation also contains vitamin A, which supplies the skin with nutrients and moisturizes it - thus eliminating dryness. And this is very important, since age-related changes depend precisely on the loss of moisture by the skin - as a result of which wrinkles appear. Thanks to the ointment, the deficiency of essential substances is replenished, which allows the skin to be restored. This is what allows wrinkles to be smoothed out.

Snake venom ointment for wrinkles

Snake venom is often used in cosmetology to get rid of wrinkles. Local action of the venom helps smooth out expression wrinkles on the face. The manifestations of such age-related changes in some cases are reduced by 40-50% if such ointments are used for a long time.

Ointments for wrinkles under the eyes

Age-related and expression wrinkles under the eyes can be eliminated with Solcoseryl ointment in combination with almond or olive oil.

You can also take a ripe avocado and mash it to a creamy consistency. Mix it with any of the above oils and apply it to wrinkles. This ointment can be kept under the eyes for quite a long time - up to 40 minutes, but you must not let it dry.

Another option is to mix Blefarogel ointment with avocado, and add vitamins A and E to this mixture. The result is a mask for smoothing wrinkles on the skin around the eyes, which also nourishes and moisturizes it.

Pharmacodynamics

The properties of anti-wrinkle ointments are discussed using the example of the drugs Solcoseryl and Panthenol.

Solcoseryl is a tissue metabolism activator, a deproteinized extract of calf blood. The medicine improves the movement and absorption of oxygen with glucose in case of hypoxia. The ointment stabilizes the balance of cellular energy metabolism, supporting the functioning of tissues in case of nutritional deficiencies and hypoxia. Promotes rapid recovery of injured tissues, accelerates the utilization and movement of oxygen with glucose. Under the influence of the ointment, new vessels are formed, blood circulation in ischemic tissues is restored. It also accelerates the process of restoration of the surface layer of the skin or mucous membranes, as well as wound healing. In addition, it prevents the formation of large scars, and therefore it is used after the appearance of fresh connective tissue on the wound until complete healing.

Pharmacokinetics

When used locally, Panthenol is quickly absorbed, transforming into pantothenic acid. Then it binds to plasma proteins (mainly albumin, as well as β-globulin).
