Creams for black spots on the face

Blackheads on the face are a fairly common phenomenon that causes a lot of trouble for their owners. In medical terminology, such manifestations of acne are called open comedones. They do not cause much concern, but they look very unaesthetic, creating the impression of a dirty face. To effectively combat comedones, the best solution is a cream for blackheads on the face, which will help not just mask the problem, but solve it in an effective and safe way.

Blackheads on the skin: conceal or fight?

What are these blackheads that come out of nowhere? It's very simple, they are the result of improper care of the skin of the face and body. Comedones usually appear on oily skin with enlarged pores and are the result of contamination of the pores with dust particles settling on the subcutaneous fat secreted from them. Uncontrolled use of cosmetics, insufficient facial cleansing, frequent touching of the face with dirty hands - these are the main reasons for the appearance of blackheads on the face.

The problem of acne most often affects young people aged 12-24. This is due to hormonal changes in the body, when sebum production increases and the skin becomes oilier, and the pores become wider. But it is at this age that you want to be the most attractive and irresistible. Starting to mask facial imperfections with decorative cosmetics can only aggravate the problem, causing inflammation of comedones. This means that the problem should not be hidden, but solved with the help of medicinal cosmetics.

Indications for the use of creams for blackheads on the face can be both open (black) comedones and closed (with white inflamed dots inside), since these products promote deep cleansing and moisturizing of the skin, and also inhibit inflammatory processes.

Names of creams for blackheads on the face, their action and reviews

If we talk about the right to exist of various medical and cosmetic creams, then we must take into account that there are as many opinions as there are people. After all, when choosing a treatment product, it is necessary to take into account not only the oiliness of the skin, but also its other features, for example, how it reacts to certain components of the cream, tonic or scrub. The effectiveness of a particular cream for blackheads on the face will largely depend on this.

It is difficult to choose a cream that is right for your skin based only on reviews. One product suits someone, another - another. It is worth carefully reading the instructions for the drug and its composition, and then draw conclusions based on this.

In addition, to achieve a lasting positive result, you may need more than one week of treatment. If you want to get a quick result, buy a special cosmetic patch for blackheads from the Nivea or Deademin brands. But this will not relieve you of the need to further combat oily skin and enlarged pores, since it has a short-term cleansing effect, but not a healing effect.

Pharmacy creams for combating comedones

Any pharmacy cream for blackheads is a prolonged (long-term) treatment. Even if the desired effect does not occur so quickly, it is a real chance to improve the health of the skin and enjoy its purity and beauty in the future.

"Differin"

"Differin" is a cream-gel for blackheads and other types of acne, which is perfect for young skin, and therefore can be successfully used in adolescence.

Pharmacodynamics. The main active ingredient of the drug - adapalene - belongs to the new generation of retinoids (vitamin A derivatives) with a drying effect. Adapalene reduces skin oiliness and relieves inflammation in the area of closed comedones. It cleanses pores, acting on comedones, and also prevents the appearance of new manifestations of acne.

At the same time, "Differin" in the form of a gel is prescribed for oily skin, and a cream for blackheads on the face with the same name is indicated for dry and sensitive skin, since it contains nourishing and moisturizing components that prevent overdrying of the skin.

The acne medication "Differin" has virtually no contraindications for use, because in most cases it is well tolerated by the skin, without causing irritation. Side effects during treatment with "Differin" are extremely rare, and only in the case of applying the drug in excessive quantities. They appear as redness and slight peeling of the skin in the area of application. However, if you experience side effects on a regular basis, or other manifestations of intolerance to the components of the cream or gel, it is better to refuse to use them, replacing them with other remedies for blackheads.

How to use creams for blackheads on the face. Both the gel and the cream "Differin" are applied to the face, without rubbing, to the areas of the skin affected by acne. This should be done once a day, preferably before going to bed, after thoroughly cleansing the skin and wiping it with a toner. The effect will be better. If you buy a special toner for blackheads, which penetrates deep into the pores and cleanses them. Usually, the effect of using "Differin" becomes noticeable after a month or a month and a half. However, doctors recommend continuing treatment until a lasting therapeutic effect is achieved (about 3 months).

The drug "Differin" must be used before the expiration date, which is 3 years for the gel and 2 years for the cream, provided that the storage conditions for medicinal products are observed. The product must not be frozen or stored at temperatures exceeding 25 ^o C.

"Baziron AS"

"Baziron AS" is an active cream for blackheads on the face based on benzoyl peroxide, which has an antimicrobial, deep cleansing and sebum-regulating effect. It is also effective in treating other manifestations of acne.

"Baziron AC" is produced in the form of a gel with different concentrations of the active substance: 10%, 5% and 2.5%. The required concentration is selected depending on the degree of skin damage and its characteristics. If it is not possible to purchase a cream with a lower percentage of benzoyl peroxide, the drug can be diluted with water a little and then applied to the skin.

The pharmacodynamics of the drug is such that benzoyl peroxide has a bactericidal effect on acne with inflammation, reduces the production of subcutaneous fat, thereby reducing the oiliness of the facial skin, and improves oxygen metabolism in tissues.

Pharmacokinetics. Benzoyl peroxide acts in the superficial layers of the skin without penetrating deep inside. Most of it is converted into safe benzoic acid, which, entering the blood, is delivered to the kidneys and is completely eliminated from the body by them, without accumulating in tissues.

The method and features of using "Baziron AC" are identical to "Differin". But it can be used 1-2 times a day, for example, in the morning and before bedtime. To avoid the side effects of the drug, it is necessary to use it strictly in a certain dosage. In case of an overdose of blackhead remedies, excessive dryness of the skin, a slight burning sensation, slight peeling and redness may appear.

"Baziron AS" is prescribed to adolescents from 12 years of age and adults with acne. In case of persistent side effects indicating hypersensitivity to the components of this product, it is better to stop using it or reduce the dose of the drug.

"Differin" and "Baziron AS" are drugs that are resistant to sunlight and do not require special storage conditions. However, since these are medicinal products, their use after the expiration date is unacceptable.

The use of these creams for blackheads is associated with a certain amount of caution. You should not stay in the sun for a long time during the treatment or visit a solarium, exposing your skin to excessive irritation from ultraviolet rays. You should avoid getting the drug on the mucous membranes. If this happens, you should rinse the mucous membranes with plenty of warm water.

To avoid severe drying of the skin, you can apply a light moisturizing cosmetic cream on top of the above preparations, after waiting until the medicine is completely absorbed.

The use of these creams for blackheads on the face during pregnancy and breastfeeding is not recommended, since their effect has not been sufficiently studied. The exception is cases where the risk to the fetus is significantly less than the risk to the mother.

Interaction with other drugs that have a drying and peeling effect can cause overdrying and additional irritation of the skin. Therefore, the simultaneous use of "Baziron" or "Differin" with alcohol-containing products is undesirable.

Medical cosmetics TM Vichy

A separate line on the pharmacy shelves is occupied by medicinal products from the French cosmetics company Vichy Cosmetics. These cosmetics are considered medicinal products, so they are sold in pharmacies.

The Normaderm series by Vichy is specially designed for problem skin with acne. It includes a micellar lotion for cleansing sensitive skin, a 3-in-1 deep cleansing product: a simultaneous effect of a gel, scrub and mask, as well as an anti-aging cream, an active cream concentrate for local action, a triple-action care cream and other products marked Normaderm.

Vichy Normaderm creams help to effectively deal with excess oiliness of the skin, narrow enlarged pores, preventing the appearance of blackheads. They have no special contraindications for use, but, judging by numerous reviews, they are not suitable for everyone.

Popular medical cosmetics for blackheads

In addition to pharmacy creams for blackheads, there are a number of other medical and cosmetic products that can be purchased in regular cosmetic stores. But this does not mean that they are less effective.

Take, for example, the medicinal cosmetics for acne and blackheads of the Propeller brand. This is a real "combat kit" for combating this problem. This includes PORE VACUUM products for blackheads with the effect of vacuum face cleaning. This is a specialized washing gel, a gel scrub, a lotion, a washing foam, nose strips and a propeller cream foam for blackheads.

All these products have a pronounced antibacterial effect, promote deep cleansing of the skin, removal of sebaceous plugs in enlarged pores, and smoothing of the skin surface. They also prevent the appearance of unsightly blackheads on the face.

Moisturizing cream-care for blackheads in the form of a light foam does not dry out the skin, but creates a natural effect of moisturizing and freshness. It effectively regulates the work of the sebaceous glands due to the ANTI- SEBUM acids it contains. It has excellent antimicrobial properties, forming a protective barrier on the skin. According to many former unfortunate owners of comedones, this is the best cream for blackheads, starting with its convenient and attractive bottle and ending with an effective healing effect on the skin.

Apply it daily to cleansed skin of the face evenly with light movements, without rubbing. The best and fastest effect can be achieved if you use other PORE VACUUM facial cleansing products in combination with the cream.

This medicinal cosmetics contains essential oils and extracts of medicinal plants. It is well tolerated by the skin, does not cause irritation or discomfort. Such products are quite suitable for pregnant and nursing mothers, as well as for young adolescents.

An innovation in terms of combating the appearance of blackheads on the face is the AFY cream mask with healing black mud from China. The double effect of this remedy for comedones consists of deep cleansing of contaminated skin pores and normalization of subcutaneous fat secretion.

Using AFY cream is similar to a salon facial cleansing procedure performed by professionals. Designed for any skin type, the cream mask cleanses the surface layers of the epidermis from keratinized particles, eliminates peeling, smoothes wrinkles, removes impurities from enlarged pores, and regulates sebum secretion. This general health effect of this product allows you to make your skin clean, smooth and radiant, without oily shine and imperfections on the face.

The main component of the AFY cream mask for blackheads on the face is Chinese dark clay. With the help of additional components, when it dries, it forms a dense sticky film that captures black sebaceous accumulations in the pores of the skin. By removing the film from the skin, we also remove the dirt stuck to it.

Use the product as a regular mask, applying it to clean, dry skin. The best effect can be achieved by first steaming your face over a steam bath or by applying a warm, damp cloth to your face for a while. This will open the pores better and release sebaceous plugs and dirt that have accumulated in them more easily.

The mask is then applied in a thin layer to the comedone-affected skin surface, avoiding hairy areas. Since the mask also removes small hairs when removed, removing it from the eyebrow area can be painful.

After 15-20 minutes of application, the mask will dry completely and can be removed by carefully lifting the film and pulling it up. After this, it is better to treat the face with a toner, which will help narrow the pores cleansed with the mask and will not allow various bacteria to penetrate the skin through open pores.

The frequency of this procedure depends on the condition of the skin. In case of severe acne lesions, the mask should be done at least 3 times a week. If you only have individual blackheads on your face, then you can get by with just one time per week.

No matter how good a particular cream for blackheads on the face is, the main condition for its effectiveness and efficiency is thorough cleansing of the skin before applying the medicinal cream or mask. Clean skin, at the same time, is the main condition for preventing various types of acne and skin inflammation. Proper care of the skin of the face is the key to its beauty and health, both in adolescence and in adulthood.
