Irina, 37 years old, Volgograd

Only with the help of this drug did I finally get rid of the uncomfortable feeling of skin tightness. I always leave positive reviews about Losterin cream on thematic websites and forums.

Instructions for use of Losterin (Method and dosage)

Products in this line are intended for external use only.

Instructions for shampoo

The manufacturer stated that a lasting positive result is observed after 1-1.5 weeks of regular use. The shampoo can be used daily. A small amount of shampoo is applied to damp hair, distributed with gentle massaging movements along the entire length of the hair, massaging the scalp. The shampoo must be washed off with warm water. Apply again and wait 2-3 minutes, then rinse your hair under water.

Losterin cream, instructions for use

Apply a thin layer of cream to the affected area using gentle movements. Redness – 2-3 times a day. The cream does not leave marks on the skin and is absorbed fairly quickly. The course of treatment is designed for 15-30 days, depending on the severity of the process, the duration of the disease, the frequency of exacerbations, and individual tolerance. Taking into account the tendency to exacerbations/relapses, the degree of normalization of the condition of the skin, the duration of the break between courses of treatment is determined. The main restorative effect is recorded on days 7-10, despite the rapidity of palpable relief (reduction in the severity of the inflammatory process, skin itching). The result is consolidated by course therapy.

Instructions for use

According to the instructions for use of Losterin cream, you can use it as prescribed by a doctor. Single and daily doses, duration of treatment are determined by a dermatologist. It takes into account the type of disease, the intensity of the inflammatory process, and the severity of symptoms.

How to use the drug correctly:

clean the face or affected area of the body with warm water and soap or other hygiene product and dry;
remove the required amount of cream from the tube and spread it in a thin layer on the skin;
To speed up the absorption of the cream, it is advisable to lightly rub it in with circular massage movements.

For excessively dry facial skin, Losterin is used after each wash, which provokes a feeling of “tightness.” And for severe damage, dermatologists recommend using the cream as a paste. It is distributed in a thick layer on the skin of the legs and arms and left until completely absorbed.

Frequency of use - up to 3 times a day, depending on the type of pathology. The full therapeutic course lasts 1 month. For severe dermatoses, it is recommended to repeat it after a 10-day break. It is necessary for the body to adapt to the action of the cream ingredients.

The feeling of dry skin disappears after the first application of the drug. And it copes with inflammation, irritation, and swelling in 2-3 days. But it is necessary to use Losterin for the period determined by the doctor. Otherwise, there is a high probability of re-exacerbation of dermatitis or ichthyosis.

The cream is used as a softening and restorative agent for excessive dry skin.

Overdose

In clinical practice, there have been no cases of overdose of Losterin when used externally.

Side effects

The development of a local allergic reaction is extremely rare. Its leading symptoms are rash, itching, pain, swelling and irritation of the skin. The cream must be washed off and then consult a doctor for symptomatic treatment. A mild, quickly disappearing burning sensation does not require discontinuation of the moisturizer.

special instructions

For daily care, it is recommended to use the drug in the morning and evening before bed. It is during these hours that restoration processes are especially active in the dermis. For preventive purposes, the cream is used constantly, also 2 times a day. But in this case, after each month of treatment, you need to take a 7-10-day break. Applying the cream after bathing is especially useful.

The product is used as prescribed by a doctor, several times a day, including after washing or showering.

Storage conditions and periods

The shelf life of the product for dry skin is 2 years. It should be stored at room temperature out of direct sunlight. Young children's access to Losterine should be limited. If the cream separates, changes color or smell, it is prohibited to use it for therapy.

Conditions for dispensing from pharmacies

When purchasing a medicine, you do not need to show the pharmacy employee a prescription from a dermatologist.

Drug interactions

In dermatological practice, there have been no cases of interaction of the cream with the ingredients of local products. But doctors recommend maintaining a 20-minute interval between applications of the drugs.
