Dimexide in the fight against wrinkles and skin aging
Women suffering from the first signs of skin aging actively spend money searching for a suitable drug. Often, after trying many remedies that did not give the desired result, they resort to using Botox injections and fillers.
However, first you should pay attention to the use of Dimexide, as it can solve the problem with wrinkles even at very advanced stages. To do this, you will need to carry out a set of procedures, which will include medications, natural oils and vitamins.
Reviews about Dimexide for the face against wrinkles are contradictory, but, as a rule, all negative experiences come down to the same reason - improper use of the product and inability to formulate the correct concentration.
To avoid any problems when using this tool, you must:
- maintain proportions;
- apply the mask only for the specified period of time;
- do not abuse the drug.
Hoping to get quick results, women use a pure concentrate of the product and keep it on the skin for a long time. The only thing they achieve with this approach is a chemical burn. After which, of course, they write negative and angry reviews about the product, and again return to using “traditional” methods.
The success of the course of treatment depends on the correct use of Dimexide.

Symptoms and causes of acne
The causes of the disease remain unclear. In the mechanism of development and appearance of acne, the main role is played by seborrhea, which reduces the bactericidal effect of sebum and leads to the activation of coccal flora. An important role in the mechanism of acne is played by the bacterium Propionibacterium acnes and its metabolic products.
Common acne (juvenile pimples, acne) develops in boys and girls during puberty and gradually disappears by the age of 25-30. The appearance and worsening of acne is also influenced by menstruation, stress, heat, high humidity and genetic factors. It is known that cosmetics containing lanolin and paraffin are also the cause of acne. Acne can also be a side effect of certain medications.
Hyperkeratinization and plaque formation of keratin and sebum leads to enlargement of the sebaceous glands, especially during skin maturation during puberty. An increase in sebum production occurs during adrenarche, when the production of dehydroepiandrosterone increases.
The accumulation of sebum can lead to infection. The immune system destroys the bacteria, and the pus is “packed” into clusters under the epidermis. Patients try to get rid of pustules by removing them themselves and in non-sterile conditions. Such damage to the underlying layers disrupts the delicate structure of the dermis and creates a weakened zone that is attacked by bacteria. As a result, the immune system causes acne to spread.
