Reviews
Many women who have already experienced the combination of Dimexide and Solcoseryl for skin rejuvenation leave positive reviews and note a significant reduction in wrinkles and a pronounced lifting effect.

Pharmaceutical preparations Dimexide and Solcoseryl act no worse than cosmetic procedures, are inexpensive and will help maintain the health and beauty of your skin.
Important nuances
The reason for disappointment after using homemade masks is most often the failure to follow important rules. To get the best results, you need to keep the following points in mind:
- First of all, you need to purchase the main component of the masks. Pharmacies can offer Solcoseryl in several forms. To perform cosmetic procedures, it is recommended to take ointment , since when using the gel, the skin may feel tight and peeling. But if the skin is very oily, then using a gel can be useful, as it will have a drying effect. But preparing masks with the addition of a solution from ampoules or crushed tablets is useless.
- Any cosmetic composition must be applied to well- cleansed skin . In addition, the face must be steamed before the procedure. You can take a steam bath or simply combine applying a mask with taking a hot bath.
- When preparing complex compositions, it is very important to follow the recommended proportions , and also to mix the ingredients very carefully so that the mixtures are homogeneous.
- You can apply the compositions with your fingertips, a silicone brush or a swab. It is necessary to adhere to the direction of the massage lines and move from bottom to top, that is, you need to start from the chin and finish applying the composition to the forehead.
- If there are no special instructions in the recipe, then you need to keep the composition on your face for forty minutes.
- Residues of the composition must be removed with a moistened swab . When the bulk of the mixture has been removed, you can wash your face.
- The finishing touch is the application of a cream that has a moisturizing effect.
- For prevention, it is recommended to use this product once a month . If the goal is to fight wrinkles, then it is recommended to carry out the procedure weekly for two months, then you will need to take a break for six months, during which you can use other anti-aging agents.
Tell us what your problems are and we will tell you what you need
Above we are talking about a drug that is available in three forms: ointment, gel and ampoules. How to choose the right option for yourself?
Recipes
There are several options for homemade masks prepared on the basis of Solcoseryl. Here are the most popular and effective recipes.
Simple option
The simplest version of the mask consists of just one component - Solcoseryl ointment.
The procedure is carried out as follows:
- the skin is thoroughly cleansed and steamed;
- Apply a thin (approximately 1 mm thick) layer of ointment to the face, try to apply the ointment evenly;
- When you first use it, do not apply the ointment under your eyes, but if after removing the skin there is no negative reaction, next time you can apply it to the skin of your eyelids;
- when applying, follow the direction of the massage lines, do not rub the ointment, do not apply pressure or stretch the skin;
- after forty minutes, carefully remove the remaining ointment with tampons, then rinse your face and apply a moisturizing cosmetic cream.
With Dimexide
This is perhaps one of the most popular and effective options. To carry out the procedure, you will need another pharmaceutical drug Dimexide. This product must be purchased in the form of a concentrate and a solution can be prepared from it at home. Please note that Dimexide dries out the skin, so this composition is not recommended for those with very dry skin prone to flaking.
Please note that Dimexide is a rather aggressive drug, so be sure to test your skin to see how it reacts to contact with a solution of this product.
Carrying out the procedure:
- first you need to prepare a solution (applying Dimexide undiluted to the skin is strictly prohibited, as this can lead to burns). Using a syringe without a needle, measure 5 ml of Dimexide concentrate and dilute it in 50 ml of cold water;
- Using a tampon, you need to apply the solution to the skin; you just need to wet your face, and do not rub the solution into the skin. Please note: under no circumstances apply Dimexide solution to the skin of the eyelids and lips. Be careful and do not allow the product to come into contact with your mucous membranes;
- immediately after applying the solution, apply Solcoseryl to the skin, you need to apply the ointment in an even layer 1-2 mm thick;
- after forty minutes, carefully remove the remaining ointment from the skin, wash with foam, and apply cosmetic cream.
Features of this procedure:
- Dimexide in this case performs the functions of “transport”, ensuring that beneficial substances enter the cells. Please note that this drug can carry not only beneficial substances, but also toxins, so it is very important to thoroughly cleanse your face of impurities. It is especially useful to carry out this procedure after visiting a sauna or steam room;
- It is extremely important that the ointment applied to the face does not form a crust on the skin. Therefore, during the procedure it is necessary to periodically irrigate the face with a spray bottle;
- It is not recommended to carry out this procedure frequently; it is enough to do it only once a month.
With tocopherol
To prepare this composition, you will need to purchase vitamin E at the pharmacy; this product is sold in the form of an oil solution in gelatin capsules or ampoules.
To prepare the composition, you need to mix equal parts of the ointment and an oil solution of tocopherol. Mix the mixture well and apply a thin layer to well-cleansed facial skin for half an hour.
With white coal
White coal is an excellent adsorbent. This product is sold in tablet form. To prepare a composition that perfectly cleanses pores, and also helps remove stains remaining on the skin after healing of deep acne.

Vitamin
This anti-wrinkle mask with Solcoseryl helps restore skin elasticity and also saturate cells with valuable nutrients.
The composition includes riboflavin (in the form of a solution in ampoules), this substance ensures full breathing of the skin, that is, it increases their supply of oxygen. Thanks to this, the complexion improves.
The second component of the cosmetic composition is the drug Ascorutin (in tablets). It contains ascorbic acid, which stimulates collagen synthesis, and rutin, which actively protects cells from negative external influences.
The composition is prepared as follows: grind two tablets of Ascorutin to a powder and mix it with Solcoseryl ointment (5 g). Then pour the contents of the vitamin B2 ampoule into the mixture. Apply a thin layer for half an hour.
With aloe and sea buckthorn oil
This anti-aging composition contains three ingredients that have a rejuvenating effect on the skin.
Required:
- Solcoseryl ointment;
- fresh aloe juice;
- sea buckthorn oil.
All ingredients need to be mixed in equal parts, for example, a teaspoon. You will need to prepare aloe juice yourself. This requires:

- place in the refrigerator for a week;
- after exposure, cut off the spines and skin from the inside of the sheets;
- Use a teaspoon to carefully remove the pulp and place it on cheesecloth;
- squeeze out the juice through cheesecloth.
Mix the prepared juice with oil and ointment, mix and immediately apply to the face for half an hour.
Composition of the miraculous mask
It should be remembered that Dimexide and Solcoseryl are medications, not cosmetics for daily skin care. And in order to achieve a positive result and not harm your health, it is very important to follow the necessary precautions, rules and recommendations for the preparation and use of home care products based on these products.
Before applying these products to your skin, you should carefully read the instructions on the products. There are a number of contraindications and precautions for their use.
Before using a homemade mask based on these products, be sure to test for an allergic reaction to both drugs. To do this, apply a small amount to the inside of your wrist and leave for 30 minutes. If redness or rashes appear on the skin, it is better to refrain from using these products.
The method of preparing a rejuvenating mask is very simple:
- Thoroughly clean your face of cosmetics; you can use steam baths before the procedure to open the pores and allow the mask to penetrate better.
- Mix Dimexide solution with lukewarm boiled water in a ratio of 1 to 10.
- Soak a cotton pad in the diluted solution and apply to the face (can also be used on the neck and décolleté). You need to apply it with gentle, light movements, trying not to stretch the skin. If the solution gets on the mucous membranes, rinse them immediately with running water.
- Next, apply Solcoseryl to the face. There is no need to dilute it; it will be used in its pure form.
- To prevent the composition from drying out on the skin, you can periodically spray your face with water from a spray bottle.
The procedure time is 20–30 minutes. To begin with, it can be reduced to 10 minutes to avoid unwanted reactions. In any case, if a burning sensation or discomfort occurs when using the composition, you should immediately wash off the mask. After the required time has passed, rinse everything well with warm water and apply a moisturizing or nourishing cream to the skin.
The duration of the course is no more than 10 days, once every three days. The mandatory break between courses is at least three months.
The medical drug solcoseryl is a face mask against wrinkles. It is the ointment or gel in its pure form that is applied to the face. Dimexide is used as an additional agent before the procedure for deep cleansing and opening pores.
Recipe No. 1
You can use solcoseryl for a mask in the form of an ointment or gel. As mentioned earlier, many advise choosing an ointment, since the gel is very tight on the skin. Although there are several reviews that the gel sticks better to the face and does not run off like ointment.
Let's consider step by step how to make a mask from solcoseryl and dimexide against wrinkles.
- To improve the effect of a mask with solcoseryl and dimexide, you must first steam your face over a bowl of herbs.
- Then you need to dilute dimexide. For example, you can take 1 spoon of the drug and 10 spoons of water, or measure 1 ml of dimexide and 10 ml of water with a syringe.
- Next, wipe your face with dimexide using a cotton pad. Please note that the drug has a repulsive odor. Be prepared for this.
- The pores are open and the face is disinfected. Next, apply the solcoseryl mask in a thin (about 1-2 mm) layer.
- We keep the solcoseryl and dimexide face mask on the skin for 1 hour. If you have applied a mask of solcoseryl and dimexide to your face, you should take care to moisturize it additionally. You can use a spray bottle of water for this, which you will need to periodically spray the mask on your face.
- Remove solcoseryl with a damp cotton pad and apply nourishing cream to the face.
It is not recommended to use such a strong mask under the eyes. But some apply solcoseryl in a very thin layer to this area. They say that wrinkles under the eyes are smoothed out.
Recipe No. 2
You can rarely use solcoseryl instead of night cream, leaving it overnight. This procedure must be carried out very carefully, not forgetting that solcoseryl has a tightening effect.
It is recommended to make a night mask for women over 40 with mature skin.
Number of procedures
Here are the reviews we came across about this mask:
- I really liked the “dimexide and solcoseryl gel” face mask. After the first procedure, I noticed that the wrinkles had decreased. I would like to note that I liked the gel more. The ointment dripped from the face, and the gel tightened the skin so pleasantly. Olga.
- Small wrinkles disappeared in the morning, and deep ones smoothed out. Solcoseryl has an excellent effect on mature skin. Ada.
- I generally use solcoseryl ointment once a month as a night cream. I cleanse my face well and lubricate it with solcoseryl at night. In the morning I rinse well with water. The skin looks younger before our eyes. Alla Ivanovna.
- To prevent the mask from drying out on my face, I spray it not with plain water, but with heated mineral water. Sasha.
Eyelid skin care
This procedure is recommended for those aged 35 years and older . To prepare a cosmetic composition, it is recommended to mix grape seed oil and Solcoseryl ointment in equal volumes.
Mix everything well and keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator for about half an hour. Press the cooled mixture into the skin of the eyelids with your fingertips. Along the lower eyelid you need to move from the outer corner of the eye to the inner, and along the upper - vice versa. Apply this composition at night, wash your face in the morning and apply eye cream.
Deep cleaning
The procedure for cleaning the dermis, which was described above, is comparable to peeling. And now we’ll look at a recipe for a mask that will literally cleanse your skin until it’s squeaky clean, remove all impurities from every pore and make your face incredibly healthy and attractive. We will need:
- 5 grams of Solcoseryl gel or ointment (depending on skin type);
- 5 grams of green or black clay;
- 5 grams of pea flour.
This mask must be applied to cleansed and steamed skin - this way it will penetrate deeper into the pores. Keep it on for 15 minutes and wash off with warm water.
Precautionary measures
Despite the obvious benefits of the drug, it cannot be used by everyone. To avoid harm to your health, do not forget to perform an allergy test before use. Skin reactions are individual, and the mask option that is ideal for one woman may cause negative reactions in another.
Important! It is not recommended to use Solcoseryl for cosmetic care if there are colloidal scars on the skin. Despite the fact that there are no obvious contraindications to the use of Solcoseryl during pregnancy and breastfeeding, you should not take risks and use this skin care product during these periods.
When using Solcoseryl, side effects may occur; when used externally, the following may occur:
- burning or itching;
- formation of local edema;
- development of urticaria (small reddish rash)
If any of the above symptoms appear, you should stop using the drug for cosmetic care.
Contraindications
Both Dimexide and Solcoseryl have a number of contraindications. Before use, you should familiarize yourself with them; if you have severe chronic diseases, it would be useful to consult your doctor.
It is better to refrain from using them if:
- the presence of allergic reactions and individual intolerance,
- severe renal and/or liver failure,
- heart problems: angina pectoris and myocardial infarction,
- atherosclerosis,
- cataracts and glaucoma,
- nausea, vomiting, lethargy,
- pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Contraindications for the use of Solcoseryl are:
- hypersensitivity to any of the components of the drug,
- allergic reactions,
- colloidal scars on the skin.
We should not forget about contraindications to the use of drugs:
- Firstly, such masks should not be made for those who have been found to be intolerant to the substances that make up solcoseryl and dimexide.
- Secondly, you cannot make such masks during pregnancy and lactation.
Before you start using a mask made of solcoseryl and dimexide, be sure to test for the absence of allergic reactions:
- Apply a thin strip of solcoseryl ointment to the crook of your elbow or wrist and check for redness. Ideally, you need to wait a day, but, as those who have done such a test say, if there is no reaction after 30–50 minutes, then you do not have an allergy. Apply Dimexide to your arm in the shoulder area and also observe the reaction.
- You can first apply diluted dimexide to your hand, and solcoseryl on top.
Allergic reactions to these drugs practically do not occur.
Sympaty.net reminds you: do not forget to study the instructions for the drugs that you want to use for cosmetic purposes. If you believe the reviews of face masks made from solcoseryl and dimexide, the results from their use are amazing - the skin smoothes out and becomes elastic. By the way, many note the accumulative effect of the mask - every day the result will be more noticeable.
Everything would be happy, but no research has been conducted on how the skin might react to such masks in the future.
Perhaps, under the influence of solcoseryl, the skin will age faster, and you will increasingly apply masks made of solcoseryl and dimexide for the face. It is unknown what benefit this will have...

Professional opinion
It must be said that reviews from doctors and cosmetologists about the use of masks based on Solcoseryl are not the most enthusiastic. Doctors remind that this product is by no means a cosmetic cream, but a medicine, so its uncontrolled use for other purposes will not bring any benefit .
However, cosmetologists do not deny the fact that this ointment stimulates regeneration and collagen synthesis , that is, its rejuvenating effect is not a myth. Therefore, it is impossible to categorically state that the use of ointment for cosmetic purposes is useless.
However, caution must not be forgotten. Be sure to do a preliminary allergy test so that you don’t have to treat your skin for a long time from the consequences of improper use of medications.
In what forms is the product available?
We briefly looked at what Solcoseryl helps get rid of and what its medicinal functions are. Now let's look at the form in which this drug is available.
- The most common option is ointment. The instructions indicate that this product is intended for the treatment of dry wounds. The consistency of the ointment is very thick, it contains many nutritional and moisturizing components. It is absorbed into the skin quite slowly, and having completely penetrated the cells, it leaves a protective layer on the surface visible to the naked eye.
- Gel "Solcoseryl" - what does it help with? This remedy is indispensable if there are festering or wet wounds. The product perfectly dries the affected areas of the skin, relieves inflammation, eliminates itching, and reduces redness. Much lighter and thinner than ointment, but also envelops the skin with a tangible film after absorption and drying.
- Ampoules. The lightest in consistency, the product is most often used for medicinal purposes - taken either orally or administered by injection. Solcoseryl can also be used in this form in cosmetology, but with certain reservations, which we will discuss in more detail below.
