Indications for use
The low concentration of lactic acid, which is part of Hilak Forte, gently cleanses the skin, which allows the drug to be used for all skin types. Peeling is used for:
- cleansing pores from acne and inflammation;
- eliminating acne marks;
- whitening facial skin, getting rid of age spots;
- cleansing sebum, narrowing pores;
- stabilization of facial skin color;
- eliminating small wrinkles.
Note! There are no clear age restrictions; the procedure can be used by everyone. There is also no limit on the number of repetitions of peeling with Hilak Forte. Since lactic acid is contained in small quantities, this method of care can be used by those with dry skin types, but with less frequency.
After this procedure, the epidermis looks young and fresh, and blackheads become smaller or disappear completely. It should not be used by people who are intolerant to the components that make up the drug.
Efficiency of the procedure
Despite the fact that the product is gentle and has a mild effect, its effectiveness is very high. Regular peeling promotes complete renewal of the top layer of the skin. It is recommended to carry out the procedure no more than once a week, for people with a dry type of epidermis - once every two weeks.
Also, periodic repetition of peeling with Hilak Forte normalizes the production of sebum; in those with oily skin, the functioning of the sebaceous glands is normalized. Two repetitions of peeling give noticeable results. There is no framework for the duration of the course, so the number of repetitions is not limited.

How to give the drug to children?
The manufacturer recommends using the drug for the treatment of children over 2 years of age. But for medical reasons, pediatricians can prescribe Hilak Forte drops to infants. They effectively eliminate pathological regurgitation after feeding and prevent the development of dangerous aspiration pneumonia.
In newborns, the medicine eliminates bloating with increased gas formation, which is associated with imperfect functioning of the children's intestines and dysbacteriosis. With regular use, colic decreases.
Hilak forte can be given to infants 10-15 drops in the morning and evening until the painful symptoms disappear. The drug is diluted in warm boiled water or glucose.
For the treatment and prevention of dysbiosis in children over 2 years of age, the following dosages are recommended:
- at the age of 2 to 12 years, 15-30 drops are prescribed in the morning and evening. In severe cases of constipation, the dose is increased to 3 times a day.
- Adolescents under 18 years of age are prescribed 30-40 drops 2 times a day. In case of intestinal disorder or rotavirus infection, a child from 12 to 18 years old can be given up to 120 drops per day, dividing the dose into 3 doses. The next day, the volume is reduced to 90 drops.
In the first days of the therapeutic course, it is better to divide the total number of drops into 3 equal doses. This will reduce the load on the inflamed intestinal mucosa, accelerate the production of healthy microflora, and relieve painful gas formation and spasms. As the condition improves, the dose can be reduced to the minimum acceptable.
How much to take Hilak Forte for dysbiosis in a child depends on the severity of the disease. On average, the course of therapy lasts up to 30 days.
Healing period

After peeling, it is recommended to use sunscreen for several days. You should not visit baths and saunas for a couple of days so that the skin has time to heal and the pores do not open again.
The skin on which the mixture was applied must be moisturized daily with face cream.
