Composition and properties
On sale you can find the product in two dosage forms - in the form of a solution and a special felt-tip pen. In both versions, the active ingredient is sodium hydroxide. This is a chemical substance that can burn off a wart or papilloma. The “Clandestine” product is widely used to remove dry calluses. Reviews show that with its help it is possible to get rid of the problem in a matter of days. But you should carefully study the instructions.
The “Super Clean” felt-tip pen belongs to the category of cosmetic products. Reviews show that the product can be found both in regular stores and on pharmacy counters. The product is available without a prescription. However, before starting treatment for warts or papillomas, you should consult a dermatologist. Often dangerous oncological diseases are hidden under pathology. In this case, self-medication is unacceptable. By cauterizing the defect with Super Clean, the situation can be seriously aggravated.
Features and composition of Supercleaner
In modern medicine, a huge arsenal of drugs and procedures is used to treat manifestations of papillomavirus. Warts often appear on the face or hands, presenting a cosmetic problem.
Medical removal methods:
- Electrocoagulation - cauterization with electric current.
- Surgical intervention.
- Laser removal.
- Cryodestruction - freezing the formation with liquid nitrogen.
- Chemical destruction by aggressive substances.
In addition, there are a lot of folk remedies with questionable effectiveness that came to us from the past, when medicine was not yet developed. One of the most famous of them is the herb celandine, which contains a high iodine content. It is recommended to regularly lubricate problem areas with the yellow juice of this herb.
The modern drug called Supercelandine has nothing to do with the plant. It is a solution of chemicals for cauterization.
Composition of the product:
- Sodium hydroxide or caustic soda (NaOH) is a toxic substance of the second hazard class that can cause severe chemical burns.
- Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) - baking soda.
- Sodium chloride (NaCl) is table salt.
- Distilled water is necessary to dissolve the ingredients to the desired concentration.
Available in the form of a solution, poured into small glass flasks of different volumes (1−3.6 ml), as well as in the form of a felt-tip pen with a rod impregnated with medicine. According to the instructions for use of Superclean, it also successfully helps against papillomas and dry calluses.
If there is a connection with celandine?
You often hear how well the juice of freshly picked celandine helps against papillomas, warts and dry calluses. For minor skin damage, the product is really effective. The juice contains substances that can “burn out” rough skin. The natural remedy can be used to treat children and pregnant women. However, the product of plant origin has nothing in common with the “Super Clean” product. Reviews from doctors show that the name is just a marketing ploy to attract buyers.
Experts remind that the cosmetic product is not natural. Therefore, those who are not sure about the origin of tumors on the skin should not use it. In addition, before starting therapy, you should carefully study the instructions. This is especially important for those patients who are prone to developing allergic reactions.
Directions for use and dosage
Supercleaner is a toxic substance, the improper use of which can cause chemical burns and permanent scars on the skin. That is why it is so important to accurately follow all the instructions specified in the instructions and strictly follow the dosage.
Before use, you need to thoroughly clean the area where the warts are located. Then you should protect the healthy skin around the tumor, using a protective fatty cream, Vaseline or other ointment. You can stick a patch with a hole cut in the center. The solution is applied using the applicator no more than 1 drop, after which it is gradually absorbed. It is not recommended to apply a bandage or wet the application site with water during the day.
The procedure should be repeated depending on the size and nature of the tumor:
- Warts. 1 drop per day, course of treatment for about 3 days.
- Papillomas. A one-time application of 1 drop of solution is sufficient, otherwise the procedure is repeated after a week.
- Dry calluses. 1 drop every five days until the callus is completely destroyed.
The feeling of a slight burning sensation after using Super Clean indicates its effect. The death of the formation occurs a few days after application and is accompanied by blackening. Then a small wound appears in its place, which quickly heals without leaving any traces.
Who should use Super Clean?
Reviews from experts show that the product is intended for removing small-sized papillomas and warts. In rare cases, the product can be used to treat calluses. However, it is worth considering that the “Super Clean” rod will not help remove large corns.
The product is potent. It literally burns away dead skin. However, the product cannot be used on large affected areas, otherwise you may experience inflammation of the epidermis. Good reviews can be heard when using the “Super Clean” product for genital warts and keratomas. Experts note that in just a few applications it is possible to get rid of rough skin and growths.
Contraindications
Women who are expecting the birth of a baby should absolutely not use a felt-tip pen or Super Clean solution. Reviews from doctors show that the product contains a chemical component that can negatively affect the development of the fetus. You should not take the product during breastfeeding either.
Particular caution should be exercised by people with sensitive skin prone to allergic reactions. After using the product, hives or a burn may appear on the body. It is not recommended to use the product to remove several formations at once.
The product “Superclean Lekker” (5 ml) also has other contraindications. Feedback from experts makes it possible to understand that side effects can occur if the patient neglects the instructions for the product. You should not use the medicine if you have any mechanical damage to the skin, as well as blood diseases. You should not use the “Super Clean” solution to remove condylomas, papillomas and other formations on the mucous membranes. If it is necessary to remove a growth in a child under 12 years of age, you should consult a pediatrician.
Contraindications and side effects
The drug cannot be used by everyone; like most medicines, it has its limitations. For example, during pregnancy, Superclean can cause side effects and harm the mother and fetus. It is also not recommended for use for removing skin blemishes on the face.
Contraindications:
- children under 12 years of age;
- severe skin sensitivity;
- epileptic seizures;
- serious pathologies of the central nervous system;
- injuries and moles near the tumor;
- psoriasis;
- bronchial asthma;
- mycosis;
- numerous skin defects;
- problems with blood circulation;
- treatment of more than 5 tumors simultaneously.
Due to its too aggressive effect, Supercleaner cannot be used to treat papillomas on the mucous membrane, including in intimate places. It is extremely dangerous to use for the treatment of unidentified formations and moles.
It happens that the body reacts negatively to the drug, and this can cause some side effects:
- swelling;
- redness of the skin;
- pronounced itching;
- rash;
- bleeding;
- blood poisoning;
- chemical burn.
You can easily avoid many unpleasant side effects if you carefully follow the instructions for the drug. Thoughtless use of Super Cleaner will not bring any benefit, but will only create unnecessary problems.
How to use the product correctly?
The Super Clean cosmetic liquid can either help get rid of the problem or cause harm. Reviews indicate that the product may cause severe burns if used incorrectly. The caustic liquid should be applied pointwise, strictly to the area of formation. To avoid damaging healthy skin, it is recommended to protect it with a patch. Good results can also be achieved if you lubricate the area around the wart or papilloma with a rich cream. You can also use Vaseline.
Reviews show that the Super Clean felt-tip pen is more convenient to use. The product does not leak, which means the likelihood of damage to the living epidermis is minimized. If the formation on the skin does not exceed 1 mm in diameter, it is enough to treat it with a cosmetic liquid or felt-tip pen once. The procedure is carried out no more than twice a day. If you follow the instructions, you will be able to get rid of the problem within 7-10 days.
After applying the product to damaged skin, tissue necrosis begins. If a wart or papilloma turns black, you should not be alarmed. Within a few days, the formation disappears, and a healthy epithelium forms in its place.
Advantages and disadvantages of the drug
Before using Superclean for warts and papillomas, be sure to read the instructions for the drug and consult with your doctor. It’s also a good idea to understand its advantages and disadvantages and decide whether it’s worth buying.
Advantages of the product:
- short course of treatment (from 1 to 5 days);
- proven effectiveness;
- no relapses at the site of application;
- convenience and ability to use at home;
- availability and low cost.
Sold without a doctor's prescription in any pharmacy, the cost depends on the form of release and volume, from 15 to 90 rubles. Indicated for use for the removal of warts, corns, dry calluses, as well as papillomas, keratomas and genital warts.
Disadvantages of the drug:
- high probability of damage to healthy skin and chemical burns;
- if used incorrectly, scars may remain;
- too thin a consistency leads to incorrect dosage;
- unpleasant burning sensation;
- side effects.
When carrying out a course of treatment with Super Clean, you should not treat the skin with products containing alkali or acid. If the drug gets on the skin, the affected area is washed with plenty of cold water, and then a compress of 5% citric acid solution is applied.
If the burn could not be avoided
If damage to healthy tissue cannot be avoided, you should not hesitate to seek help from a dermatologist. A chemical burn is an insidious pathology that is fraught with the addition of a bacterial infection. You can find out quite simply that the Super Clean product has come into contact with healthy skin. Within a minute, the skin turns red, severe itching and burning appears.
If it is not possible to seek help from a doctor immediately, you should thoroughly rinse the affected area. Special healing drugs, such as Bepanten or Actovegin, will help restore damaged skin.
Reviews show that those who decide to use the Super Clean cosmetic solution have a greater chance of getting a burn. A felt-tip pen allows you to apply the active agent more accurately to the formation.
Wart remover Superclean
Quite a long time ago I had a beard on my thumb. I didn't know it was a wart until they told me about it. It sounds very strange, but it always seemed to me that such problems arise in people who do not take care of themselves and their bodies. So I didn’t even imagine that this could happen to me. Everything would be fine, but some kind of formation also appeared on my heel, which I could not get rid of either with pumice stones, or creams, or even scissors. For a long time I thought it was a simple corns. The fact is that it is quite difficult to distinguish them; the symptoms of a wart and a corn are similar. Everything would be fine, but it began to grow and get sick. Soon I turned to a dermatologist and was told that it was a plantar viral wart, which could only be removed by a cosmetologist. I decided to try folk remedies; my mother and I began making compresses from celandine, that same weed. It seemed to have begun to decrease, but it was so subtle that it was difficult to understand whether it seemed to you or not. I heard a lot of reviews about the super cleanser and my mother and I decided to buy it.
Mom's first reaction: is this a one-time thing??? Yes, the jar is indeed very small, but it is quite enough!
I’ll tell you about how I tried to remove a wart from my finger, because I’ll have to suffer with my foot for a long time. A thick cream should be applied around the wart, as this product is very hot. I applied it to my heel every day and over time the skin began to corrode. So, when the celandine got on an unhealed area, it seemed to me that a piece of glass was stuck in my heel! The pain was unbearable and for a very long time (three hours). So be careful.
I used it every day. It was hot in places. One drop is enough. There is a lot of product on the applicator, although at first glance you wouldn’t say so. You should not apply a lot, because the reaction occurs only after 5 minutes and there is no immediate pain.
Over time, the wart began to shrink and the stem almost disappeared. At the moment I have a small bulge left, but I still continue to use it. I'll post a photo of the final result later.
Photos in use After some time! Healing!
I apologize for such photos. It might be unpleasant for someone.
Warning! Under no circumstances should you remove warts yourself using this product on your FACE and in the most exposed places. You can get a burn and a scar! If you decide to use it, be very careful!
Where to buy?
The “Super Clean” product is widely available. Instructions for use, reviews, expert opinion - all this should be carefully studied before purchasing the product, despite the fact that it is sold without a prescription. You can buy cosmetic liquid or felt-tip pen in almost every pharmacy. The product is also offered in many cosmetic stores.
For a 5 ml bottle of cosmetic liquid you will have to pay about 100 rubles. The felt-tip pen is more convenient to use, which is why it costs more - about 250 rubles.
What can be replaced?
Pharmacies offer many products that are specifically designed to remove warts, papillomas and other dry growths. These are various solutions and ointments. Those who are afraid of getting burned from the Super Clean liquid should pay attention to the Salipod patch. The active ingredients are salicylic acid and sulfur. The patch is designed in such a way that the medicinal substances fall directly on the wart without affecting the healthy epidermis. The product is also available without a prescription and can be used to treat children.
Various creams and ointments are effective. You can hear a lot of good reviews about the Aldara product; the product not only helps remove tumors without damaging the skin, but also helps the body produce interferon. As a result, the activity of the human papillomavirus is significantly reduced.
Cryopreparations that literally “freeze” warts and papillomas also have a good effect. A striking representative of the species is the product “Cryopharma”.
Available analogues
The pharmacy chain offers consumers a variety of drugs that are ready to help in the fight against papillomas and warts. They differ from super cleanliness in composition, release form, method of action and price. Here are some analogues:
- Feresol. Contains phenol and tricresol, due to which it has a cauterizing effect and is able to coagulate epidermal proteins. In terms of its characteristics, it is similar to Super Clean. Not for use on mucous membranes.
- Solcoderm. Created on the basis of several acids: acetic, lactic, oxalic and nitric, it is non-toxic and does not penetrate the blood. After applying the liquid to the wart, it is destroyed and rejected.
- Condilin. It has a mummifying and cauterizing effect due to the presence of podophyllotoxin in its composition. Not applicable to children under 12 years of age.
- Verrucacid. The active ingredients metacresol and phenol make the drug highly effective in the fight against papillomas and warts.
To understand the choice of the necessary medication, you need to consult a qualified dermatologist. If this is not possible, you must carefully follow the instructions for the drug. If any side effects occur, stop treatment and consult a doctor.
