Dermatology Reviews

According to many consumer reviews,they got acquainted with the means of “Skin-cap” by the appointment of a doctor. I wonder what the experts themselves say about these drugs? Do they trust them? It is noteworthy that drugstores under the brand "Skin-cap" are sold in pharmacies without prescription. The aerosol, the instructions for which states that the tool is absolutely safe, is the most popular product in this product line. Opinion dermatologists about the safety of these drugs are divided. According to the statements of some patients, doctors often prescribe dermatitis for them with this manufacturer’s cream and spray, citing the fact that they do not contain hormones and therefore can be considered safe.

However, other professionals of this profilestraining the fact that these drugs are banned for sale in America and European countries. According to some unverified data, it became known that the content of the hormone clobetasol was found in preparations called Skin-cap. An aerosol, the price of which is quite significant, as well as a cream, can not only not help in the treatment of dermatitis, but also cause serious side effects. Therefore, uncontrolled use of these tools is impossible.

Why do some experts mistrustgoods "Skin-cap", referring to the unverified sources of information? The fact is that it seems strange to them that the declared active component of the drugs zinc pyrithione suddenly became therapeutic against eczema and dermatitis. This ingredient is often added to shampoos to eliminate dandruff. And here it really works. But it cannot suppress manifestations of dermatitis, neurodermatitis, eczema, psoriasis. Only hormones are capable of it. This is what dermatologists pay attention to. But if the hormone clobetasol is really present in the composition of the products, then why does the manufacturer keep silent about it? Perhaps because the conditionally safe means are acquired by consumers much more willingly and actively than serious medical preparations.

Shampoo "Skin-cap": customer reviews

I wonder how the users themselves ratethe effectiveness of these products? Let's talk about such a tool as shampoo "Skin-cap". Instructions to him says that it can not be used constantly.

As a rule, two applications are enough to make it completely disappear. However, in some cases it was claimed that after the drug was discontinued, dandruff appeared again.

Had to use shampoo again 1 time inweek for prevention, but already regularly. It is believed that this product helped get rid of seborrheic crust on the head of a child. And this, moreover, that before this had been tried many different similar means. The general impression of customers about the shampoo is: the smell is light, slightly mint, well refreshes the head, the consistency is liquid, it foams well, and the hair becomes tough after using it. Some try to use air conditioning to soften them a little. But it is worth warning that to apply balm-conditioner only on the tips, avoiding the skin. Otherwise, you can negate all efforts to eliminate dandruff.

Customer comments about other skin-cap products

Negative user reviews

There were many consumers who are negativetreated the treatment of skin diseases means Skin-cap. "Spray, ointment and shampoo of this brand help only temporarily," - some users believe. Means really effective, quickly magically removed the main manifestations of allergy. However, after the abolition of drugs itching and rash appeared again. The first desire of patients became the purchase of a second package of the same means. But this is not the way out. You can not use such drugs for a long time. In addition, not everyone is able to regularly buy them because of the high cost. Some users who previously used hormonal remedies for the treatment of eczema and neurodermatitis, noted that this medicine acts in a similar way: after prolonged use, addiction to the components of the product developed, it did not give the desired effect. The rash, itching, peeling returned again and the treatment with Skin Skin products was no longer amenable.

This leads many consumers to think abouthormonal origin of these products. There is evidence that products called “Skin-cap” caused severe allergies among users. Perhaps this was provoked by the intolerance of the components of the drugs. When prescribing these drugs should not ignore this warning.
