Ointment for age spots. What are the ointments for age spots on the skin

As much as we would like to have an even clean skin without moles and age spots, you cannot go against nature, so you often have to fight her ridiculous jokes with the help of special methods and means. One of the safest, albeit far from quickly effective means of getting rid of excessive pigmentation is an ointment for age spots. Moreover, the whitening effect of various ointments can be more or less, because not all products were developed specifically to reduce the intensity of the pigment. For some creams, skin whitening is just a side effect discovered by accident.

Indications for the use of ointments for age spots

Probably, many have noticed that prolonged exposure to the sun provokes the appearance on the skin dark spots, discoloration of existing marks, increased pigmentation of freckles on the face and body, etc. You can deal with such manifestations with the help of special sunscreens with a protective UV filter. But if the moment is missed and the appearance of age spots on the skin cannot be avoided, to return the skin to its former whiteness and tenderness, you can use various ointments for age spots with a whitening effect.

But not only the sun's rays provoke an excess of the culprit of melanin pigmentation in the human body. Pigmented spots can be congenital and acquired as a result of hormonal changes, age-related changes, metabolic disorders. In this regard, the indications for the use of ointments for age spots are quite wide:

congenital age spots and moles
areas of increased pigmentation due to increased production of melatonin (chloasma)
dark spots that do not rise above the skin surface in middle-aged and elderly people that appeared after exposure to the sun
freckles on the face and body

Among other things, an ointment used for age spots is most often effective in treating acne, acne, acne and other skin imperfections.

Release form

In pursuit of beauty, we are often ready to spend any money to achieve desired result, without even thinking that this same money can be used more worthy by starting the fight against skin imperfections with inexpensive pharmacy products. But in most cases the matter will not go further than them. Sometimes, however, ointments come to the aid of pharmacy remedies. homemade... In any case, such skin care will give noticeable results at a low cost.

And the ideal can only be achieved with the help of serious cosmetic procedures, for example, laser peeling. Even the most expensive and effective ointments and creams for age spots will not give such a result, but will only improve appearance skin.

Names of ointments for age spots

So, why pay more when there are decent inexpensive but effective tools. Take zinc ointment, for example. Zinc oxide in its composition has outstanding whitening properties, which makes the ointment effective in lightening age spots on the skin.

Zinc ointment is universal, therefore it can be successfully used as an ointment for age spots on the face. Here we get a double effect. First, skin whitening. Secondly, the fight against acne and acne due to the antimicrobial and light drying effect. If the second problem is not relevant for you and the drying effect causes only discomfort, you can get rid of dryness and a feeling of tightness of the skin using moisturizers or oily creams.

Why is zinc ointment good? According to the reviews of many patients and doctors, it perfectly copes with the task of lightening the pigment on the skin without harming health. The only side effects of the ointment are allergic reactions, and that happens in isolated cases. Yes, and a contraindication to the use of this medication is only an increased sensitivity to the active substance - zinc oxide, which is observed in a very small percentage of the population.

Zinc ointment from age spots can be applied from 2 to 6 times a day until the desired effect is achieved, applying it to cleansed skin with point movements. In the struggle for the beauty of the skin, the ointment will not spare neither age spots, nor acne and acne, nor fine wrinkles, which is also important.

The method of administration and doses of the drug, which are negligibly small when applied as a point, exclude the toxic effect of the ointment on the human body, which means that we are not talking about an overdose. However, you should not apply zinc ointment to areas of the skin with open wounds and severe purulent inflammation.

Interaction with other drugs. Zinc ointment can be painlessly mixed with baby cream or castor oil. This will help avoid overdrying the skin.

Antifungal agents and anti-age spots

Sulfuric ointment- a fairly effective antifungal drug, which, among other things, is able to fight acne and excessive pigmentation. In its action, the sulfur-based preparation differs from the previous one. Removal of age spots is achieved by drying and exfoliating epidermal cells at the site of application of the ointment.

Sulfur-based preparations are not as safe as those where zinc oxide acts as the active ingredient, therefore it is advisable to use them no more often than every other day, leaving them on the skin for a day. The course of treatment with this scheme will be only 12 days.

Side effects of ointments from age spots are most often reduced to allergic reactions, and sulfuric ointment is no exception. However, hypersensitivity to sulfur preparations is not the only contraindication to the use of sulfuric ointment. It is also not recommended to use it to remove age spots in babies under 3 years old, although the ointment is acceptable from 2 months of age.

The strong drying effect of sulfuric ointment can adversely affect dry and sensitive skin, therefore, if it is used according to the testimony of a doctor, after removing the ointment from the skin, it is necessary to lubricate the areas affected by pigmentation with a moisturizer. To mix sulfuric ointment with creams is not worth it.

Interaction with other drugs. Before using sulfuric ointment, it is not recommended to treat the skin with "potassium permanganate" or hydrogen peroxide, giving preference to other means for cleaning the skin. Failure to do so can result in severe burns to the skin.

A significant drawback of sulfuric ointment is its unpleasant odor. In addition, it is difficult to wash off the skin, leaving yellow greasy marks on clothes that come into contact with the treated areas. Therefore, it is better to use it both on the face and on the body while at home.

Another antifungal drug that has proven itself in the fight against dark spots on the skin is Clotrimazole ointment. Noticeable efficacy, a small number of contraindications and complications, and hence relative safety, lack of unpleasant odor made this remedy popular with freckles and other age spots.

To lighten areas with hyperpigmentation, you need to apply the ointment to clean and dry skin 3 times a day: in the morning, in the afternoon and before bedtime. "Clotrimazole" is well absorbed and does not leave marks on clothes. Suitable for use on the face, hands and body.

Ointment "Clotrimazole" when applied externally, it does not enter the bloodstream, affecting only the surface layers of the skin. Therefore, drug overdose can be completely excluded. Nevertheless, sometimes during the use of "Clotrimazole" unpleasant phenomena can be observed: burning, itching, which may indicate an intolerance to the drug and require its withdrawal.

It is undesirable to apply this ointment in the area around the eyes, where the skin is most sensitive. Pregnancy and lactation are far from the best periods for removing age spots with Clotrimazole ointment.

Antibacterial agents and age spots

Antifungal agents are not the only ones that can fight excessive pigmentation. Some antibacterial agents also have this ability. For example, synthomycin ointment on the basis of chloramphenicol, although it belongs to the category of antibiotics, it copes well not only with bacteria, but also with flaws in the skin.

If someone is scared that this ointment is an antibiotic that can be dangerous to health, do not worry. The fact is that synthomycin ointment, like the previous ones, does not penetrate into the deep layers of the skin and body tissues, does not enter the bloodstream, which means it is relatively safe for humans.

It is advisable to apply synthomycin ointment to the skin of the face and hands after cleaning and steaming. At the same time, the skin should be dry. Duration of treatment is up to 1 month. In cases of longer use, addiction to the drug is observed. If 4 weeks were not enough to obtain the desired result, it makes sense to take a month break, and then continue treatment.

It is necessary to keep the ointment on the skin for at least 1 hour, applying it pointwise to areas with increased pigmentation. Perhaps during this period there will be a slight discomfort at the application site. Usually this reaction is short-lived and goes away within an hour. But sometimes the allergic reaction is more serious, in which case it is worth stopping the drug.

Contraindications to the use of syntomycin ointment are hypersensitivity to the components of the drug and a toxic reaction to active substance a history of ointments. Preparations based on chloramphenicol (chloramphenicol) are not prescribed for psoriasis, eczema, oppression of hematopoiesis, impaired renal and liver function, pregnancy, lactation. But given that the external use of the ointment excludes its entry into the blood and other body fluids, the likelihood of complications is negligible. But it is still worth consulting with a doctor about the possibility of using this ointment for age spots against the background of the above diseases.

The popular antiseptic also has a good keratolytic and exfoliating effect. salicylic ointment... Salicylic acid in the composition of the ointment actively softens and removes the upper cells of the epidermis, in which melanocytes are concentrated, which are responsible for the pigmentation of a certain area of the skin. Thus, a lightening of the skin is achieved.

Again, it is necessary to apply salicylic ointment to the skin pointwise, avoiding skin areas with normal pigmentation, no more than 2 g per application in order to avoid getting into the blood. This can be done up to 3 times a day. The therapeutic course should not exceed 4 weeks. An overdose of the drug causes severe allergic reactions.

Side effects of salicylic ointment from age spots are extremely rare. Usually this is redness, itching and a slight burning sensation, corresponding to an allergic reaction to the drug.

Contraindications to the use of salicylic ointment are cases hypersensitivity to the drug. Sometimes children's age is also indicated, therefore, before applying the ointment to babies, it is recommended to consult with a pediatrician. According to some sources, the ointment cannot be applied to moles and birthmarks.

This is not to say that salicylic ointment is a health hazard, but it is a potent agent, therefore it is often used as part of multi-component ointments and masks, where it brings many benefits to owners of unattractive dark spots. And yet, when using salicylic ointment together with other components, it is imperative to take into account drug interactions with other drugs, since salicylic acid in the composition of the ointment can enhance the effect, including the side effects of other drugs, as well as form melting agents (with "Rizorcin") and insoluble (with zinc oxide) compounds.

Nevertheless, pharmacists managed to combine the incompatible, as a result of which a practically safe and effective whitening ointment appeared on the shelves of pharmacies - salicylic-zinc paste. Salicylic acid, as one of the components of the ointment, provides an exfoliating effect, and zinc oxide (the main active ingredient) has a whitening effect by reducing the production of melanocytes.

You can apply the product to the skin 2-3 times a day without fear of overdose, which is possible only when applying the ointment to large areas of the skin. Do not apply the ointment to open wounds, especially festering, mucous membranes, as well as areas of the skin that are constantly exposed to moisture (armpits, groin folds, etc.). The course of treatment can range from 7 to 20 days, depending on the intensity of the pigmentation.

Despite the seeming safety of the drug, salicylic-zinc ointment has certain contraindications for use. The drug is not used to treat children, pregnant women and nursing mothers. Do not use the ointment and in case of hypersensitivity to the components of the drug in order to avoid severe allergic reactions.

You need to understand that salicylic zinc ointment dries the skin no less than one-component preparations based on salicylic acid and zinc oxide, therefore its use on dry and sensitive skin is undesirable. And yet, baby cream and castor oil, which can be used during treatment with this ointment, will help fix the problem.

Drug interactions with other drugs. Salicylic-zinc ointment is not used during treatment with antibiotics of the penicillin group, due to the ability to reduce the effectiveness of the latter. "Phenacetin" and "Rizorcin" can form mixtures with the ointment with an unpredictable effect, therefore the combination of these drugs is also undesirable.

Vitamins and excessive pigmentation

Retinoic ointment is currently a less popular remedy for age spots, despite all its beneficial features... Perhaps this is due to the fact that the ointment is dispensed only by prescription, and our people do not suffer from the lack of ointments that help with age spots. Be that as it may, retinoic ointment has a right to exist, including in connection with its skin-whitening properties.

Rejuvenating and anti-inflammatory retinoic ointment is nothing more than a synthetic analogue of vitamin A, hence the name. Its use implies caution, because an excess of vitamins is just as unsafe as a deficiency. Therefore, the use of the ointment is limited to 1-2 times a week. At the same time, the ointment should be applied to the skin in a thin layer and only in the evening, since it increases the sensitivity of the skin to sunlight... With daily use of the ointment, the reaction can be exactly the opposite.

Do not use retinoic ointment long time... It is better to carry out treatment in short courses, interrupting it if discomfort occurs in the form of redness and peeling. After a couple of days, treatment with the drug can be resumed.

Retinoid ointment is not suitable for everyone. Childhood, pregnancy and lactation require prior consultation with a doctor about the possibility of using this ointment for age spots. Contraindications to the use of retinoic ointment may be hypersensitivity to the drug, insufficiency of liver and kidney function, neoplasms on the skin, increased levels of lipids and lipoproteins in the blood, an excess of vitamin A in the body.

Side effects of the ointment from age spots in the form of allergic manifestations can appear both immediately and after 2-3 days. Other undesirable symptoms may result from vitamin A hypervitaminosis. These symptoms include dryness of the mucous membranes and skin, the development of conjunctivitis, pain in muscles and joints, headaches and cramps. More serious consequences are also possible, such as bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract, the development of pancreatitis and inflammatory processes in the intestine.

Interaction with other drugs. Retinoic ointment is incompatible with antibiotics of the aminoglycoside group and progesterone. The simultaneous use of ointment and vitamin A increases the risk of developing hypervitaminosis.

Pharmacy ointment for acne "Belosalik" and age spots

Ointment "Belosalik" is an anti-inflammatory agent with a pronounced keratolytic effect, thanks to which it has found application in the treatment of excessive pigmentation in adults and children over 6 months old. The ointment is based on salicylic acid and betamethasone, which effectively cleanse the affected skin.

This ointment does not belong to the category of budgetary funds, moreover, unlike the above-described ointments, it has many contraindications for use. This is chickenpox, and tuberculosis of the skin, and viral skin infections, and many other diseases that have their manifestations on the skin. The ointment is not applied to open wounds. And of course, the use of the ointment is prohibited if the patient has an intolerance to any of the components of the drug.

Method of administration and dosage. You need to apply the drug 1-2 times a day on clean and dry skin, using a small amount of ointment. The duration of drug treatment should not exceed 4 weeks. If it is necessary to increase the therapeutic period, the drug should be applied to the skin 1 time in 2 days to avoid drug overdose.

Side effects of the "Belosalik" ointment used for age spots are usually mild. These can be allergic reactions in the form of itching and redness, and sometimes more serious manifestations, such as skin atrophy, inhibition of pigmentation, the development of dermatitis, the appearance of acne and others. If the ointment is used for a long time, especially in the face area, betamethasone accumulates in the body and can provoke reactions associated with a decrease in the functionality of the adrenal cortex.

Cosmetology in the fight for clean skin

Achromine ointment, it is also a whitening cream for age spots "Achromin" based on hydroquinone, belongs to the category of medicinal cosmetics, which can also be found on drugstore shelves. It is one of the most popular ointments to combat dark spots and acne. Its effectiveness is actively discussed on the forums, and most of the reviews are positive. By the way, according to the same reviews, the updated "Akhromin" without hydroquinone is inferior in effectiveness to the original version.

To lighten age spots, it is recommended to apply the ointment twice a day: in the morning and in the evening, applying to clean skin with light massage movements. Usually the result becomes noticeable after 14-15 days, and after 1-3 months the age spots disappear completely.

Side effects of the "Achromin" ointment from age spots are observed very rarely in the form of irritation on the skin. In this case, it is recommended to let the skin calm down for 4-5 days, then start treatment again, applying the ointment once, in the evenings. After a week, if side effects do not occur, you can go to the standard regimen for using the ointment.

Despite all the effectiveness of "Achromin", this ointment for age spots is not designed for use by persons under 12 years of age. It's all to blame for the active substance of the ointment, which can be dangerous for the child's body. In large quantities, hydroquinone can also harm an adult body, therefore, it is necessary to apply the ointment for no more than a month. It is better to repeat the course of treatment after a while without danger to health.

Pharmacodynamics

The pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of bleaching ointments used for age spots mainly depends on the main active component of the drug, which can have an antioxidant, immunomodulatory, and membrane-protective effect on cells, i.e. prevents the destruction of the cell membrane.

Pharmacy creams used to combat increased pigmentation most often contain non-specific components such as vitamin A (or its synthetic analogue), zinc oxide, chloramphenicol (synthomycin), clotrimazole, salicylic acid, which have a sufficient whitening effect provided that ointments are regularly used based on them.

Products from various cosmetic companies may contain glycolic and azelaic acids, arbutin, rucinol, beta-carotene, hydroquinone, and even mercury. Despite the noticeable effectiveness against age spots and a strong whitening effect, cosmetic ointments from age spots, due to some ingredients unsafe for the body, can bring more harm than good.

The ointment for age spots on the face whitens the skin well, giving it an even light tone. Whitening agents normalize melanin production and also destroy melanocytes- cells that produce a pigment substance, due to which pigmentation disappears irrevocably.

The correct choice and application of a whitening ointment will help get rid of freckles and age spots on the face.

With the right choice and use of a cosmetic product, you can achieve a good result.

You should not expect instant action from them, but the systematic use of these funds leads to a result.

A large number of requests on the Internet "how to remove age spots" appeared for a reason. Our mothers and grandmothers did not have so many problems. The fashion for tanning today provokes girls to mercilessly burn themselves with the sun. Visiting tanning salons is generally considered a necessity. Many do not remember or do not know about the methods of protection against ultraviolet radiation. Therefore, the appearance of dark spots on the skin is a complete surprise. In violation of the production of melanin, internal disturbances in the body can also be involved. Hormonal imbalance can cause dark spots under the eyes and above the lip.

The drug is well absorbed into the dermis without leaving greasy traces... As a recommendation, we advise you not to apply the product in the area of the eyes and lips.

Rashes are possible in people with a high allergic threshold. They should stop treatment with this medication. The good thing about the ointment is that it acts only on the upper layer of the skin, without penetrating into the circulatory system. And yet, during pregnancy, it is better not to use clotrimazole to remove pigmentation.

Synthomycin

Antibacterial agents also have whitening properties. Synthomycin ointment belongs to antibiotics. But don't worry about this. The action of the ointment occurs on the surface layers of the skin and does not enter the bloodstream. With prolonged treatment for more than a month, addiction occurs, so the effectiveness decreases. In this case, take a break for a month or cancel it altogether.

Before using synthomycin, the skin must be prepared. The stratum corneum should be steamed and light peeling should be done. In this case, the ointment penetrates into the dermis closer to the age spots. Apply on pigmented areas for 1 hour. There are practically no allergic reactions. But due to the fact that it is an antibiotic, there are contraindications. These include skin conditions such as psoriasis or eczema. In case of impaired liver function of the kidneys, as well as pregnancy and during the period of feeding the baby, it is better to refuse treatment with synthomycin.

Salicylic ointment

Salicylic ointment has excellent softening and exfoliating properties. Getting on the stratum corneum, it begins to actively dissolve dead cells. The ointment should be applied pointwise to those areas that are prone to darkening. The darker the pigment, the more often you need to smear it - up to 3 times a day. Avoid the area of the eyes and mouth, and do not apply to moles and protruding birthmarks.

Allergic reactions to this ointment are already more common. Overdose of the drug leads to redness in the treated areas of the body and severe itching. There are no contraindications, except for the individual intolerance of the composition.

Salicylic acid can be found in the description of various multicomponent home masks. Whether this drug should be mixed with others is up to you. After all, the ointment itself, having potent characteristics, whitens well. In combination with other substances, it can enhance their effect, which will lead to a strong reaction on the skin. In this case, pay attention to the following pharmacy medication.

Salicylic zinc paste.

The interaction of salicylic acid and zinc oxide results in an excellent whitening effect. In this regard, a salicylic-zinc paste was created for age spots. The acid breaks down the stratum corneum of the skin, and zinc oxide inhibits the production of melanin.

Salicylic zinc paste

The product is applied two to three times a day on prepared skin prone to pigmentation. There will be no overdose if you use the paste pointwise. You can whiten even skin areas with this tool. To avoid burns, do not smear open wounds and sweating areas. Wet armpits and groin areas are very sensitive to the drug. The duration of treatment depends on the type of skin and the intensity of the age spots, usually from one to three weeks. Keep in mind that the composition of the paste dries the skin. Apply oil or baby cream after skin treatment.

Be careful! The tool reduces the effectiveness of antibiotics of the penicillin group. It is not recommended to use the paste during antibiotic treatment. To avoid burns and allergies, do not use salicylic zinc paste for multi-component masks.

Retinoic ointment

Retinoic ointment is gaining popularity every year. This is due to the fact that vitamin A has established itself as a powerful regenerating substance. Vitamin A preparations are produced outside of Russia. Such creams are expensive and difficult to acquire. In our country, it produces an analogue with synthetic retinol (vitamin A). This is a modern drug that is sold through a network of pharmacies.

The main purpose of the ointment is to treat acne and anke. But due to the fact that the drug launches renewal processes in the skin, it began to be used for whitening. This tool requires very careful attention to itself. An excess of retina can lead to hypervitaminosis, therefore, when using the ointment, it is forbidden to use vitamins of group A inside.

Retinoic ointment is credited with a rejuvenating effect. This is achieved through enhanced division of skin cells. Vitamin A is very sensitive to sunlight. Under the influence of rays, it disintegrates, which can lead to a relapse of age spots. Therefore, the ointment is applied 2-3 times a week only in the evening on cleansed dry skin. The first week is usually difficult as the skin needs to get used to the drug. Redness and flaking may occur. The treatment period lasts from 6 months.

The ointment has a large list of contraindications - from personal intolerance to skin diseases. Before buying, it is better to consult with your doctor or read the annotation for the drug. Retinoic ointment is strictly prohibited for pregnant and lactating mothers.

Belosalik

Call this ointment budget pharmacy remedy it is forbidden. This is a rather expensive drug with an anti-inflammatory effect. In the composition of betamethasone, which has a suppressive effect on the synthesis of melanin. Salicylic acid helps to exfoliate dead cells along with pigmentation. That is why Belosalik ointment began to be used as a whitening cream.

Pharmacy ointment "Belosalik" - an effective whitening drug

There are many contraindications: intolerance to components, skin infections and other skin diseases. Cannot be used around open wounds and ulcers. Betamethasone has an accumulative property that can affect the kidneys. The ointment is applied to age spots 1-2 times a day. The skin must be clean and dry. Duration of use is no more than 4 weeks. This composition cannot treat age spots under the eyes. Reviews of the "Belosalik" ointment as a means for removing age spots are good. A quick whitening effect and an evening of skin color are noted.

The best storage for medicated ointments is a refrigerator. But in no case freeze the preparations, since after defrosting, complex compounds can disintegrate into components. Store ointments together in the packaging and instructions for use. You can always determine the expiration date from the box. And the instruction will remind you of safety measures and methods of application. Observe contraindications and precautions when using medicinal formulations.

Main advantages: natural medicine that does not cause allergic reactions, gentle removal, the product is always in the refrigerator of any housewife. The disadvantage is the duration of treatment, as opposed to professional remedies.

Ointments for age spots are used as one of the means to solve this problem. It often happens that these medications are used in conjunction with other measures. The effectiveness of the use of some external agents is confirmed by both medical research and the reviews of those who used them on themselves.

Zinc ointment

Zinc ointment is a broad-spectrum pharmaceutical preparation that is very effective in combating various skin imperfections. The advantage of this medication, among other things, is that it is completely safe to use and causes allergies only in isolated cases.

A pronounced whitening effect is provided due to the zinc oxide included in this drug. It copes with increased pigmentation of a different nature that occurs on the face and body. External medicines based on this substance are allowed for use even during pregnancy, as well as for children, starting from the infancy.

Zinc ointment also contains white soft paraffin and petroleum jelly, which create a protective film on the skin and prevent pathogenic microorganisms from entering the epidermis.

When using Zinc Ointment, you should adhere to the following scheme:

first of all, the area of exposure to the ointment must be cleaned of cosmetics, excess sebum and impurities;
an external medicine based on zinc oxide is applied to the skin 2-3 times a day;
it is necessary to apply the medicine until the age spots are completely lightened.

Reviews say that this drug also has a drying effect. If after applying Zinc Ointment you have a feeling of tightness and dryness of the skin, then you can mix the ointment with baby cream or cosmetic oil.

Despite the safety of this drug, it should not be used if there are open wounds on the skin, as well as severe pustular inflammation. You should also stop using zinc ointment if you are allergic to this drug.

Sulfur preparations are not as harmless as zinc preparations. Getting rid of age spots occurs in this case due to exfoliation and removal of epidermal cells affected by increased pigmentation.

If used medicinal formulations, in which the concentration of zinc is about 10%, they quickly dissolve and remove age spots. However, such external agents should be used with great care, especially for those with dry and sensitive skin. The optimum sulfur concentration is 4-5%. But in any case, preparations with sulfur should not be used more often than once every two days.

It is necessary to apply these medicines only on the spots, avoiding areas of the skin that are not affected by excessive pigmentation.

Retinoic ointment

This remedy is not the most popular in the fight against age spots on the face and body. Recently, this drug has been used very rarely, although retinoic ointment has proven itself well as an effective external medicine with a whole range of useful properties.

Retinoic ointment is a synthetic analogue of vitamin A used topically. This medication is used as a rejuvenating and anti-inflammatory agent. However, it is also effective in combating increased skin pigmentation.

In our country, retinoic ointment is sold only by prescription. And you need to use it with caution: apply a thin layer on problem areas of the skin.

The frequency of use of medication with retinoids should not exceed one to two times a week. In addition, Retinoic Ointment should not be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding... And outside of these periods, before you undergo a course of treatment for age spots with this medication, you need to consult a doctor.

Whichever external remedy you choose to eliminate the increased production of melanin, remember that treatment should begin with eliminating the causes. And to find out these reasons, you need to consult a doctor and undergo a series of examinations.

Names of ointments for age spots

Zinc ointment for age spots can be applied 2 to 6 times a day until the desired effect is achieved, applying it to cleansed skin with point movements. In the struggle for the beauty of the skin, the ointment will not spare neither age spots, nor acne and acne, nor fine wrinkles, which is also important.

Interaction with other drugs. Zinc ointment can be painlessly mixed with baby cream or castor oil. This will help avoid overdrying the skin.

Antifungal agents and anti-age spots

- a fairly effective antifungal drug, which, among other things, is able to fight acne and excessive pigmentation. In its action, the sulfur-based preparation differs from the previous one. Removal of age spots is achieved by drying and exfoliating epidermal cells at the site of application of the ointment.

The strong drying effect of sulfuric ointment can negatively affect dry and sensitive skin, therefore, if it is used according to the doctor's indications, after removing the ointment from the skin, you need to lubricate the areas affected by pigmentation with a moisturizer.

Sometimes children's age is also indicated, therefore, before applying the ointment to babies, it is recommended to consult with a pediatrician. According to some sources, the ointment cannot be applied to moles and birthmarks.

Vitamins and excessive pigmentation

Retinoic ointment is currently a less popular remedy for age spots, despite all its beneficial properties. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the ointment is dispensed only by prescription, and our people do not suffer from the lack of ointments that help with age spots. Be that as it may, retinoic ointment has a right to exist, including in connection with its skin-whitening properties.

Rejuvenating and anti-inflammatory retinoic ointment is nothing more than a synthetic analogue of vitamin A, hence the name. Its use implies caution, because an excess of vitamins is just as unsafe as a deficiency. Therefore, the use of the ointment is limited to 1-2 times a week. At the same time, the ointment should be applied to the skin in a thin layer and only in the evening, since it increases the sensitivity of the skin to sunlight. With daily use of the ointment, the reaction can be exactly the opposite.

Do not use retinoic ointment for a long time. It is better to carry out treatment in short courses, interrupting it if discomfort occurs in the form of redness and peeling. After a couple of days, treatment with the drug can be resumed.

Retinoid ointment is not suitable for everyone. Children's age, pregnancy and lactation require prior consultation with a doctor about the possibility of using this ointment for age spots. Contraindications to the use of retinoic ointment may be hypersensitivity to the drug, insufficiency of liver and kidney function, neoplasms on the skin, increased levels of lipids and lipoproteins in the blood, an excess of vitamin A in the body.

Synthomycin ointment

An excellent drug that effectively copes with the task. Synthomycin ointment, although it belongs to antibiotics, does not affect the body in any harmful way, since its penetration reaches only the upper layer of the skin, and a positive result is achieved quickly.

An additional advantage of this tool is its low cost. But of the minuses, it can be noted that it is quickly addictive (when used for more than a month), which, of course, weakens in the future the very effect of the drug.

It is necessary to use synthomycin ointment in the following way:

The skin of the face is first cleansed of external pollution with milk or lotion;
Next, the steaming procedure is carried out. You can do without it, but thanks to the steam, all the pores will open, which will allow the ointment to quickly penetrate inside;
Then the face is rinsed with water (preferably mineral) and wiped dry with a towel;
Using a cotton swab or the pad of your finger, apply the product to the area of age spots;
It is better to leave the applied preparation for an hour (or more is possible) for complete absorption, during which the lightening process will take place.

It should be used for 2-4 weeks. If during this time the expected result is not achieved, you need to take a month break and repeat the entire course.

Important! Refuse to use the synthomycin drug should be those who have eczema, are allergic to the components of the drug, or there are chronic liver diseases, as well as during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

It is also worth knowing that in special cases a slight burning sensation or redness may appear, which completely disappears after an hour.

Another ointment that helps to cope with age spots is sulfuric. It also gives good results in a short amount of time. At the same time, sulfur compounds have a beneficial effect on the development of skin cells and exfoliate dead layers.

Sulfur ointment should be applied every other day and is best done before a night's rest. Ideally, such a procedure is recommended on weekends, since a more effective result can be obtained if the product is not washed off the skin during the day. The entire course lasts up to 12 days.

As in the previous case, the face is pre-cleansed and dried. But after using this drug, the skin surface should be treated with any moisturizer, since sulfur tends to dry out strongly.

The disadvantages include:

A specific pungent smell that few people will like;
The ointment is poorly washed off from the skin of the face;
Leaves persistent, permanent stains on clothing.

The drug should not be used by women during interesting situation and lactation. The rejection of products such as coffee, alcohol, sweets will help to enhance the effect of the use of this remedy.

Zinc ointment

It is necessary to apply the product to the affected areas with pinpoint finger movements up to 6 times a day. The skin surface must be pre-cleaned. The entire course lasts as long as the neglect of the problem requires.
