Composition and properties of Solcoseryl
This is a therapeutic drug for the restoration of epidermal cells and wound healing, not a cosmetic product. Ointment and gel for external use contain an ingredient that promotes the regeneration of damaged skin - deproteinized dialysate, a product of the processing of blood of dairy calves.
The composition does not contain protein and large particles. There are inositol phospho-oligosaccharides that increase the synthesis of ATP - a substance necessary to supply cells with energy, oxygen saturation and increase metabolic activity.
The two dosage forms of the drug are different: the gel contains 4.15 mg of active substance in each gram of the product, ointment - 2.07 g. The differences in composition can be explained by the fact that the ointments penetrate deeper into the skin. To provide the same effect in the gel include more active substance.
- The basis of the ointment is petroleum jelly. Cetyl alcohol in this dosage form is an antiseptic. The presence of petroleum jelly is not typical for cosmetics. This ointment base is undesirable for oily skin, prone to rashes, inflammation. Vaseline does not interfere with wound healing, as it protects against excessive evaporation of moisture, drying out, and the penetration of microbes.
- The basis of the gel is water. Contains: emulsifier, preservative and thickener.The gel is closer to the cream in texture and properties: does not contain fats, is easily applied and washed off even with cold water. The product does not leave oily sheen on the skin and stains on clothing.
Gel / ointment improves microcirculation, collagen and elastin production.
The destruction of these substances leads to wrinkles. The skin's ability to regenerate collagen fibers and other skin structures decreases with age.
Indications for appointment
A topical pharmaceutical preparation is intended to heal minor skin lesions, namely cuts, deep abrasions and scratches. "Solcoseryl" is applied to previously cleaned wounds, ulcers, frostbite, burns of 1 or 2 degrees, arising under the influence of the sun and other etiologies.
