Anti-wrinkle relief ointment for the face and around the eyes: instructions

What is it used for?

Relief is a comprehensive remedy that is intended for the treatment of internal and external hemorrhoids, anal itching and anal fissures.

Such a non-standard approach to the treatment of wrinkles may cause confusion among many, and completely in vain. After all, the components of this product are also included in professional anti-aging cosmetic creams and serums.

So why spend a lot of money buying advertised rejuvenation products, when everything that is included in their composition can be found in literally every pharmacy and at an affordable price?

The drug is based on mineral, animal and vegetable oils, which have a fairly powerful effect on the skin..

Is the ointment effective in treating wrinkles?

Relief does an excellent job of treating wrinkles and rejuvenating the face in general.

When using this ointment on the face, the following positive effects are noted::

• inflammation is relieved;
• dryness and irritation are reduced;
• the skin is well moisturized;
• the facial contour is tightened;
• wrinkles are smoothed out;
• the skin becomes elastic, sagging disappears;
• swelling and circles under the eyes decrease;
• complexion improves.

The safety of the drug is beyond doubt, because it contains only natural ingredients.

NOTE!

It is worth remembering that Relief is a drug, and in some cases an allergic reaction may occur.

To exclude individual sensitivity to the components of the product, before the first use it is recommended to carry out a test - apply a little ointment to the bend of the elbow or the inside of the wrist.

If no undesirable manifestations occur within 24 hours, then the drug can be used to treat wrinkles and other age-related skin changes.

Precautionary measures

Since Relief ointment is not a cosmetic product, before using it it is necessary to calculate all the risks regarding possible allergic reactions. It is important to protect the mucous membrane of the eyes from contact with the product. If the ointment gets into your eyes, you should rinse them with running warm water. If eye burning does not go away, consult a doctor.

The ointment has not undergone any clinical trials as a cosmetic product, so the consequences of its use may be unpredictable.

Relief has a fairly pronounced fishy aroma, which can cause an unpleasant impression. It is also important to remember contraindications when using ointment.

For wrinkles around the eyes

After an allergy test has been carried out and the skin around the eyes has been cleansed with lotion or soft milk, the drug can be applied to the lower eyelid.

The product is applied along the radial bone using gentle finger movements . Avoid getting the ointment on the mucous membranes of the eyes. It is best to carry out this procedure in the evening - apply the ointment under the eyes for 15 minutes, and then remove the excess with a napkin.

To get a faster and more pronounced effect, it is recommended to use Relief in the form of patches - a cotton swab is generously soaked in ointment, and then applied to the lower eyelid for 10 minutes. Excess is removed with a dry cloth.

The effectiveness of using Relief ointment for removing wrinkles under the eyes, as well as reducing puffiness and dark circles, is confirmed by both a large number of women and cosmologists.

Expert opinion

Shustova Olga Leonidovna

Obstetrician-gynecologist of the highest category

It would seem that using Relief ointment for wrinkles is quite strange, because its intended purpose is completely different, but nevertheless, positive reviews indicate the opposite. It is unknown who first came up with the idea of ​​using Anti-Wrinkle Relief, but we must admit that this idea turned out to be successful. The composition of Relief ointment is indeed in many ways similar to the composition of expensive anti-aging cosmetics. In addition, it contains only natural ingredients, which distinguishes it from many anti-aging cosmetic products. Due to its natural composition, allergic reactions and various side effects after using Relief occur very rarely. But the effect can be seen almost immediately. Some women use this drug for “first aid” - when they need to get their face in order very quickly. Relief ointment is sold in any pharmacy, is inexpensive and is available without a doctor's prescription.

Analogs of Relief ointment

Ointments for hemorrhoids have a delicate consistency. They contain unique components that tone and regenerate the skin, nourish with vitamins, moisturize and soften; activate the synthesis of collagen and elastin.

Heparin ointment - relieves puffiness, removes dark circles under the eyes, smooths out small wrinkles. The components of the ointment contain heparin, which thins the blood; glycerol, which retains moisture in the skin and helps smooth the skin; nourishing peach oil that activates intracellular processes. The ointment is light in consistency, absorbs well, but has a specific smell.

Hepatrombin - can straighten shallow wrinkles, remove puffiness and blue circles in the eye area. The main component is heparin.

Proctonis is identical in composition to Relief ointment. It contains ingredients such as aloe and sage extracts, cocoa butter, glycerol, and shark liver extract. It has softening, regenerating properties and can relieve redness and inflammation of the skin.

All these drugs were created to solve proctological issues, and not as cosmetics, and they have their own contraindications and side effects.

Also, Relief ointment must be distinguished from Relief Advance ointment. The difference is that the second product contains large quantities of benzocoin, a strong anesthetic. The remaining components are identical. Since pain relief is not required to correct cosmetic blemishes, you need to buy Relief ointment.

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages of Relief ointment in the treatment of wrinkles:

• affordable price;
• the opportunity not only to eliminate small wrinkles and reduce the depth of deep ones; but also to stop the inflammatory process;
• ease of use;
• the presence of a special applicator that simplifies the application of the product.

Flaws:

Production form

Relief is produced in the form of an ointment, having a light yellow color, a homogeneous texture without foreign inclusions, with a specific fishy odor. Packaging – plastic or aluminum tube, weighing 28.4 g. The cardboard box with the ointment contains an annotation and a nozzle for distributing the product over the skin.

Relief suppositories (suppositories) with identical composition are available for sale. Candles can be used as a facial skin care product by first melting them to a paste-like consistency.

Composition and release form

Relief ointment contains shark liver oil and the active ingredient phenylephrine hyrochloride.

Fat obtained by processing shark liver is a very valuable product . It does not contain many vitamins, microelements and fatty acids.

Vitamin A triggers the synthesis of hyaluronic acid in the human body, thereby increasing skin elasticity.

Vitamin E actively prevents skin aging and improves regeneration.

Shark liver oil restores the water and acid balance in cells, which prevents dryness and flaking . Phenylephrine hydrochloride constricts blood vessels, which reduces inflammation and eliminates skin fatigue.

In addition to the main components, Relief ointment contains:

• beeswax,
• mineral oil,
• glycerol,
• lanolin,
• thyme and corn oil.

Natural oils give the skin tone and softness, beeswax retains moisture, relieves inflammation and removes toxic substances.

Relief can be used at any stage of the appearance of wrinkles, the main thing is that there are no contraindications for its use.

Relief is available in three versions:

• ointment;
• cream;
• candles.

All forms have a similar composition, which means they can be used to combat wrinkles . The only difference is that the candles will have to be melted in a water bath before use.

What is the product? Compound

The product is available in two forms (as already mentioned): as a rectal suppository and an ointment. Candles will not be the best option for cosmetic procedures. Before use, you will first have to melt them for some time, which is not very convenient. It is preferable to use “Relief” (ointment) for the face against wrinkles.

As already mentioned, this is a pharmaceutical product widely used in proctology. Promotes healing, stops the development of inflammatory processes. It is a vasoconstrictor. There are two forms of release - suppositories and ointment. In the instructions and indications for use there is no clause about fighting wrinkles, but pharmacists and cosmetologists unanimously recommend it for use as an anti-aging product. Undoubtedly, in cosmetology it is more convenient to use ointment, but if desired, you can also use candles.

The drug is freely available in pharmacies; a prescription is not required to purchase.

Indications for use

If we omit the direct purpose of the drug Relief and focus only on its cosmetic properties, the indications for use of the product will be as follows:

• skin aging;
• inflammation;
• pathological dryness and peeling of the skin;
• age-related changes - wrinkles, sagging, sagging facial contours;
• expression wrinkles;
• skin fatigue;

Basic rules of use and how long to use

To make the effect of using Anti-Wrinkle Relief more pronounced, you should adhere to the following rules for its use:

2. Before applying the drug, you should thoroughly clean your face with alcohol-free cosmetics and then wash with warm water.
3. Relief should not be applied to the entire face, but only to problem areas,
4. Apply the ointment under the eyes to eliminate swelling and dark circles carefully, without stretching the delicate skin, and avoiding contact with the mucous membrane.
5. To remove very deep skin folds, it is recommended to apply the ointment to problem areas in a thick layer.

As for the frequency of using the ointment, experts do not recommend applying it too often, otherwise the effect will be reversed.

The course of treatment for wrinkles is 1-2 weeks, then you should take a break for a month and repeat the treatment if necessary..

Too fanatical use of Wrinkle Relief ointment can lead to oversaturation of the skin with beneficial components, as a result of which it will turn grey, dry and look unhealthy.
