Medicines help in the fight for youth

- retinoic ointment;
- solcoseryl ointment;
- anti-aging facial cream (different brands).
Retinoic ointment is an excellent antibacterial agent for various skin imperfections: acne, rashes, redness, which appear stronger on the skin with age and take longer. Any means against defects should be applied in the metallic direction on them, this ointment is no exception. Clean and healthy skin looks much younger and more beautiful, so you need to get rid of unpleasant manifestations.
Solcoseryl ointment - a drug to improve the penetration of oxygen into tissues. With age, the pores of the skin that transmit this gas into the epithelium get worse and worse, gradually affecting its condition: become dry, flaky, tissues lose pigmentation, look sluggish. Solcoseryl is applied to the entire face in a thin layer, gently spreading over the face. In addition, for people with sensitive skin, it is permissible to "dilute" the ointment with lotion or moisturizer.
