Composition and properties of Cynovit
The main active ingredients of the drug are zinc pyrrolidone carbonate and dipotassium glycyrrhizinate.
Zinc pyrrolidone carbonate has an antibacterial effect and suppresses excessive sebum secretion by reducing active testosterone found in the sebaceous glands.
Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate has a powerful anti-inflammatory effect and exhibits hypoallergenic properties.
Additionally, Cynovit acne gel cream contains non-comedogenic oils and vitamins that help moisturize the skin and saturate it with nutrients.
The ointment also contains cetearyl alcohol in a small amount, which is intended to tighten pores and also acts as an antiseptic.
The presence of panthenol in the composition promotes faster regeneration of cells damaged during the inflammatory process.
In combination, all active components help relieve inflammation, have an antibacterial effect, reduce the production and improve the outflow of sebum, and also accelerate the renewal of the damaged layer of the epidermis.
The active substances primarily exhibit their antibacterial effect against the following pathogenic microorganisms:
- Propionibacterium acnes;
- Staphylococcus aureus;
- Staphylococcus epidermalis;
- Escherichia coli.
The maximum therapeutic effect occurs if acne occurs in an uncomplicated form.

Cynovit cream gel instructions recommend use for mild to moderate acne as part of complex therapy. The drug is also used for prophylactic purposes to prevent the occurrence of new rashes.
In severe forms of acne (conglobate, papulo-pastular, cystic acne, etc.), the use of the product is not rational.
How to use Cynovit for acne: instructions for use
The product is applied 1-2 times a day to the affected areas of the skin in an even layer without rubbing. Before application, you should wash and shower if the drug will be applied not only to the face, but also to the back and other parts of the body. The skin must be dry when applying.
The medication is used until the signs of acne are completely eliminated. Noticeable improvements are noticeable after just a week of regular use. Therapy is not stopped for another 10 days from the moment the rash is completely eliminated. In the future, the drug is used for prophylactic purposes as necessary.
Methods and timing of treatment
Adults should use the product according to this scheme.
- Cream-gel and spray are applied to the face in the morning and evening. As a preventive measure - 1 time per day (preferably at night). Use for another two weeks after the disappearance of unpleasant symptoms.
- The cream is used twice a day, lubricating the affected areas with a thin layer. The course of treatment for dermatitis is from 3 to 4 weeks, for psoriasis plaques - up to 6 weeks. In other cases - until the skin is completely cleansed.
- During the treatment period, the shampoo is used two to three times a week for 30 days. Requires twice application. The first time the product is applied for 60 seconds, the second time for 2-3 minutes. In both cases, you need to thoroughly rinse your hair with warm water.
- The gel should be used as the only means for cleansing the skin, since simultaneous use with others can lead to undesirable consequences. A small amount of the substance is distributed over the affected areas and left for 3 minutes. Then wash off with water.
All release forms (except cream and cream-gel) are shaken before use.
It is important to prevent the product from getting into the eyes and mucous membranes (mouth, nose) . This can lead to poisoning and severe irritation.
Use in childhood
Cynovit cream is often chosen for the treatment of diaper rash and dermatitis in children, based only on reviews of other parents. According to the instructions, the product is approved for use from 1 year. The natural composition guarantees long-term use without negative effects.
Up to 12 months, a child’s skin is more delicate and susceptible to external influences, so you should not prescribe Cynovit to your baby yourself.
Possibility of use during pregnancy
Clinical experiments on the effect on the fetus have not been conducted. Because of this, the manufacturer does not recommend the use of Cynovit during pregnancy . But doctors often prescribe it to women with allergies and dermatitis (atopic, contact or seborrheic). Due to the lack of absorption of substances into the bloodstream, no negative effects are expected.
The possibility of exposure to children during breastfeeding has not been clearly established. In this case, it is usually advised not to apply the product to the mammary glands and nipple skin.
Other forms of release
The drug for treating acne is also available in aerosol form. Spray Cynovit For acne has a similar composition and effect, but has a slightly different method of application.
Before spraying, shake the can vigorously and then apply it to a cotton pad or sterile napkin, using which the product is distributed over the affected areas of the body.
Spray treatment is carried out in the morning and evening hours after washing.
During the post-acne period, the spray is used once a day to prevent the occurrence of new acne.
This release form has similar contraindications for use.
The product is also available in the form of shampoo, shower gel and regular cream.
The shampoo is used to treat seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp, as well as to eliminate acne that has arisen as a result of this dermatological disease.
The gel is used for the whole body as an adjuvant therapy for seborrheic dermatitis, pityriasis versicolor, atopic dermatitis and other skin pathologies.
The cream is intended to eliminate allergic skin reactions in the form of irritation, redness, and acne caused by dermatological diseases. In addition, it can be used to eliminate discomfort after insect bites or superficial burns.
Operating principle
As a rule, the appearance of acne is associated with hormonal changes and age-related changes in the body. If the rashes are localized in a strictly limited area of the face (for example, only the forehead or only the chin), they more often indicate diseases of the internal organs. Before we start using Cynovit, let's take a closer look at the problem.
If acne or inflammatory processes appear on the lower part of the face, then most likely the problem lies in disorders of the endocrine or digestive system. If acne appears regularly on the chin, you should visit a gynecologist. The cause of such inflammation may be diseases of the female reproductive glands or hormonal imbalance.
Colds and viral infections can also cause inflammation in the lower area of the face. In addition, regular consumption of strong tea and coffee, as well as lack of sleep, nervous shock and stress are the causes of rashes on the chin.
The forehead is considered a seborrheic area due to the large number of sweat and sebaceous glands located there. The appearance of a greasy sheen on the forehead occurs due to the production of sebum, resulting in the formation of acne and pimples.
Diseases of the stomach and pancreas, intestines and bladder are often the cause of acne on the forehead. They indicate intoxication of the body or non-compliance with nutritional rules.
Taking into account all of the above, we note: in order for the process of getting rid of acne to go faster and for them not to reappear, you need to use a comprehensive treatment. Cynovitis can be used as an adjuvant, but for a complete cure it is necessary to first eliminate the root cause of the rash.
- "Cinovit" spray
Used for acne on the face, shoulders and décolleté. If you need to wipe your face, moisten a cotton pad with the product and then wipe the skin. When used on the shoulders and décolleté, the medicine is sprayed directly from the bottle onto the inflamed areas.
The drug does not leave any traces on the skin, so it does not need to be washed off. At the same time, its duration of action increases. Recommendations for use can be found in the attached instructions.
If acne appears on the forearm, chest or back, it is also recommended to use Cynovit shower gel. In order to get a therapeutic effect, you need to apply the product to a damp body and leave it for 12-15 minutes. Rinse off as normal shower gel.
- "Cinovit" cream
Cream-gel has a narrower scope of application. For example, a paste-like product is not applied to the forearm or décolleté area. The cream is intended to clear acne from the face only.
- "Cinovit" shampoo
Shampoo is used to cleanse hair from fungus. It is recommended to use cream, gel or spray in combination with shampoo.
Therapeutic shower gel and shampoo can be used for daily body and hair care. The instructions for use of the cream contain information that its use is recommended for lichen, eczema, psoriasis, and dermatophytosis.
In some cases, the use of drugs from different pharmacological groups, such as cream and gel, is required. These indications are:
- Various skin lesions caused by fungi;
- Urticaria, acne;
- Seborrheic or atopic dermatitis, neurodermatitis.
Analogues of Cynovit: which are the most inexpensive
Cynovit gel cream has no analogues in composition, but substitutes based on the principle of action can be found on sale, among which are:
- Zinc ointment;
- Sudocrem;
- Differin;
- Boro Plus.
Zinc ointment has a drying, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effect. Its main components are zinc oxide and petroleum jelly. The ointment helps in case of minor rashes. For severe acne, it is ineffective.
Sudocrem contains zinc oxide, which helps relieve inflammation and prevent a further increase in the population of pathogenic bacteria. Additionally, the component helps relieve irritation and promotes the healing of post-acne scars. Other active substances enhance the therapeutic effect of the medication for external use. The drug is used for mild acne.
Differin is available in the form of cream and gel, containing components that are aimed at fighting acne and act in several directions at once. The main active ingredient has strong anti-inflammatory and comedolytic properties. Differin eliminates not only acne, but also comedones and blackheads.
Boro Plus consists exclusively of natural ingredients that have antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and healing effects. Its use is effective for mild forms of acne.
Side effects and possibility of overdose
The active substances do not penetrate into the blood and therefore do not have a systemic effect. Side effects are rare and are mainly represented by dryness and tangling of hair (according to patient reviews). Not a single case of overdose has been registered during the existence of the drug .
Interactions with other drugs have not been formally tested. In this case, it is best to consult a dermatologist. Do not apply 2 or 3 medications at the same time to avoid chemical interactions between them.
