Reviews
Alla:
With this ointment I was able to cure acne that had been bothering me for several months. At first I rushed to expensive cosmetic new products, which are presented in great abundance in pharmacies today. As a rule, only such products are advertised, and nothing is said about simple and affordable drugs. So it turned out that the cheap cream helped faster than expensive cosmetics. But the result did not come immediately, at the same time I had to adjust my diet, eliminate spicy and sweet foods, and increase the content of fresh vegetables in my diet. In 5 weeks, the face cleared up, the oiliness decreased, and the red spots almost disappeared.
Matvey:
I made bandages after being scalded by boiling water. They gave me a second-degree burn, I had to pierce the blisters, and then they applied a bandage with aloe. The entire treatment took about 10 days. At first I took painkillers and antihistamines, but as the wound began to heal, the need for them disappeared. My opinion is an excellent remedy (I mean ointment). Such an extensive burn was dealt with fairly quickly.
