Cosmetologists' opinion
The opinions of experts on the use of the drug Relief in cosmetology are ambiguous. Some cosmetologists do not deny the possibility of using the drug for the face against wrinkles. Others consider this method of rejuvenation ineffective and dangerous.
Karpova Kira Yurievna, cosmetologist
“I believe that using Relief cream against age-related changes is inappropriate. Still, the mucous membrane of the rectal area and the skin of the face have a different structure. Yes, the drug contains many nutrients and substances useful for the epidermis. But in pharmacies and specialized stores you can find skincare products with a similar composition. Moreover, most of them are cheaper than medicine for hemorrhoids.”
Korshunov Dmitry Alekseevich, cosmetologist
“I don’t see anything wrong with using Relief to combat age-related changes on the skin. Many cosmetic anti-aging creams do not have such a rich and beneficial composition as this medicine. But you need to use Relief cream for other purposes with extreme caution and first make sure there are no contraindications.”
Reviews
User review:
I read on the Internet that Sandra Bullock uses hemorrhoid ointment for wrinkles and swelling on her face. I thought it was strange, but I went to the pharmacy and bought relief. I use it 2 times a week along with moisturizer (I use L'Oreal). After the first use, the number of wrinkles on my face decreased. I gave the ointment to my sister to try, she had the same result. I have no side effects and will continue to use it. I am 54 years old and colleagues who know about this have said that I look 10 years younger.
Most of us have never thought of hemorrhoid ointment on our face as something that can help us look younger. But it works by constricting blood vessels and veins, and can work on different areas of the body.
