"Basiron AC": reviews of dermatologists. "Baziron AS" (gel): instructions for use, description and cheap analogues

Most people on Earth claim that they are unhappy with the state of their skin. The reasons for this may be very different, but many people call their problem inflamed skin on their face. Clean and even complexion can boast only happy owners of normal skin, of which a minority. For dry skin type, inflammatory elements are also not characteristic, but it is prone to dehydration and needs constant deep moistening.

Why and how do inflammations develop on the skin?

The formation of inflammatory elements, such as acne, acne and comedones, is characteristic of oily and combination skin. These types of skin are prone to excessive secretion of the sebaceous glands.

Cosmetologists have introduced the concept of acne to refer to problematic skin. There are several manifestations of acne: pimples, acne and comedones.

Acne is an inflamed hair follicle, inside of which purulent contents are formed. The surface of the skin above the inflamed follicle is red and inflamed.

Acne is a clogged pore. Their blockage occurs due to excess sebum and depleted epithelium, which accumulate and cause inflammation. Acne has the form of white tubercles on the skin.

Comedones are a kind of acne, which are also greasy stoppers in the pores and look like black dots.

There is also a mixed form of acne, which is characterized by the presence of different inflammatory elements.

Most inflammatory skin formations are caused by the activity of the microorganisms Propionibacterium Acnes and Staphylococcus Epidermidis, the nutrient medium for which is the depleted epithelium and the secrets of the sebaceous glands. Therefore, the treatment of acne, in fact, means antibiotic therapy and a decrease in the function of the sebaceous glands. Recently, a very popular remedy for the elimination of the problem of acne is the drug "Baziron AS". Dermatologists' comments about it are mostly of a positive nature and many doctors recommend this medical product for the treatment of problem skin. Such advice of doctors should be carefully considered, as the doctor has not only knowledge about the mechanism of action of the drug, but also has experience of clinical picture of its use in patients. "Basiron AS gel", instructions for use, feedback, description of which you will find in this article, will be appreciated by people who know firsthand about problem skin.

What is Baziron AC?

The gel "Baziron AS" is produced by the French pharmaceutical company Galderma. There are three different forms of release of the gel, which differ from each other in the concentration of the main active component. Gel "Baziron AS" is produced in the following types:

• Baziron AS gel 2.5%.
• Baziron AS gel 5.0%.
• Baziron AS gel 10.0%.

A medical specialist decides which preparation is needed for a particular patient, after conducting a series of laboratory tests. Decision to buy the drug itself is fraught with unpleasant consequences: overdose, allergic reaction and contact dermatitis, the consequences of which will have to be removed for quite some time.

The main active component of the gel is a special substance - benzoyl peroxide in a concentration that depends on the type of the drug. In addition to the main component, the gel contains a complex of "glycerin - acrylate copolymer", which has the function of adsorption of sebum. Exempt from the composition of the complex, glycerin nourishes and moisturizes the skin of the face.

Pharmacological action of the drug

Since the drug is applied externally, there is no need to remove it in any way from the body. Penetrating into the skin, benzyl peroxide is converted into benzoic acid by chemical transformation. This compound has a good penetrating effect and produces a profound therapeutic effect in the layers of the skin. Then the acid enters the bloodstream and is excreted unchanged by the kidneys. Medical practice denies the effect of accumulation of benzoic acid in the skin or in the blood of patients using "Basiron AC" for quite a long time. Gel "Baziron AS", reviews of dermatologists about which confirm its effectiveness in the fight against pimples, acne and comedones, has a wide range of therapeutic effects. It performs the following functions:

• It improves the blood supply of tissues and, as a result, the saturation of the skin with nutrients and oxygen. This property makes this drug effective in treating trophic ulcers caused by various vascular pathologies.
• Promotes the early healing of lesions of the skin, eliminates scars after acne.
• Has a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect.
• Reduces the secretory function of the sebaceous glands.
• Absorbs excess sebum.
• Has a delicate moisturizing effect.
• Has a pronounced antimicrobial activity, eliminates the existing inflammatory elements on the skin and does not allow the appearance of a new one.
• Has a good exfoliating effect, releasing the epidermis from dead cells.

Thus, the drug has a multi-faceted effect. Penetrating into the skin, it destroys the bacteria that cause inflammation. "Basiron AC" eliminates the favorable environment for the development of microorganisms: actively slices the epithelium and affects the amount and chemical composition of sebum. The drug reduces the acidity of fat, reducing its fat content. The gland itself decreases in size, and its secretory function decreases.

The gel combines anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which prolongs youthfulness to the skin. Remarkable is the fact that microorganisms do not have the opportunity to develop immunity to benzoic acid, and there is no getting used to the drug. This makes the gel "Baziron AS" (reviews of dermatologists confirm this fact) is especially effective not only in treating external manifestations of acne, but also in eliminating the causes of the appearance of this disease.

Methods of application

Gel "Baziron AC" should be spread on a clean and dried face with inflammation in a thin layer in a circular motion until completely absorbed. The gel is applied once or several times a day, depending on the complexity of the lesion and the recommendation of a dermatologist. You can wash with your usual means. Do not use it on damaged areas of the skin.

It is not necessary to apply the gel gently, as this will cause skin irritation and itching.

The gel has a drying effect, which can aggravate salicylic acid. This will lead to dehydration and peeling of the skin. It is worth noting that some call the gel "Baziron AS" ointment, but this is not true. Ointment "Baziron AC" is not produced, only a gel with three variations in the concentration of the active substance is produced.

Doctors recommend continuing to use this tool for about three months to fix the effect. The decision on the expediency of duplicating the course of treatment with this drug is taken only by the attending physician.

Reviews about Baziron AS

Many people share their impressions about the use of this drug. Often you can meet such admiring reviews: "Oh! Gel for the treatment of acne Galderma "Baziron AC" - it's a bomb! "And for good reason.

Many share the experience that after a full-fledged application of the "Baziron SS", the problem of acne did not bother them anymore. It should be noted that all positive responses were noted in people who clearly followed the instructions for use and recommendations of the doctor after a thorough examination.

There are also negative reviews about "Baziron AS", among which are examples of a terrible allergy to the drug or its complete inefficiency. Allergic reactions are quite possible and the manufacturer of the drug warns about this. Benzoyl peroxide is a fairly active substance, and some people have an individual intolerance to it. In these cases, of course, the use of the drug should be stopped immediately and, after symptomatic treatment, consult with a doctor about the use of a medicine with a similar effect. It is best to do a preliminary allergy test, which will give a clear idea of whether there is a reaction to the substance or not. This will protect against severe forms of allergies and long-term treatment of its effects. As a rule, after self-prescribing the drug itself and the dosage of "Basiron AS" (gel), the reviews cause negative ones. Treatment should appoint only a doctor.

The ineffectiveness of Baziron AC in a particular case can be caused by several reasons:

• Incorrectly selected concentration of the active substance in the formulation. In especially advanced cases of acne, the drug "Baziron AC 2.5%" may not show activity. In this case, you need to share your observations with your doctor. He can prescribe a drug in which the percentage of the active ingredient is higher. In case of its inefficient use, an analog of "Baziron AC" with another active substance can be assigned, but such cases are not often met.
• The cause of acne and acne is not a consequence of the life of microorganisms. Indeed, acne and acne may not necessarily be caused by the activity of bacteria. The reason can be hidden in the presence of inflammatory process in the body, as well as chronic diseases of the digestive tract, endocrine system, kidneys and others. At such a combination of circumstances, "Baziron AC" from acne will not help. Here we need complex therapy, which is assigned to our patient by a specialized doctor.

Nuances of drug use

• Apply the agent better locally to the inflammatory elements. If the degree of skin damage is great, then the gel is applied to the entire face with a thin layer.
• There are two types of skin reaction to the drug: in some, it exhibits its best qualities after several days of application, in others it is preceded by the phase of active facial shedding, and then the effect follows. This is a unique reaction of the body to benzoic acid.
• Do not spread a thick layer. This can cause dermatitis. In addition, the cream is so active that a thin layer is enough.
• When using "Bazironon AC" it is recommended to use a cream with panthenol, which has a moisturizing effect on the skin of the face.
• Staying in the sun during the application of the gel is unacceptable, since it leads to peeling of the skin. After applying the product, try to protect yourself from the sun by using a suitable cream with a filter, glasses and a hat (umbrella).
• For the duration of the treatment course, forget about alcohol-containing lotions, creams and peelings with fruit acids, salicylic acid and similar reagents.
