Review #1
Face cream with hyaluronic acid "Pharmtek" Skin-Activ - A godsend in the fight against peeling and redness of the skin.
The volume of the cream is 75 ml, the shelf life is 3 years, but after opening it must be used within 12 months. Country of origin: Russia. The cream was packed in an additional box, which had a full description of the composition, unfortunately, it was not preserved.
What attracted me most was the information that the cream contains hyaluronic acid, which is so necessary for my skin. Also contains panthenol, olive oil, vitamins A, E, PP. The cream is hypoallergenic based on natural oils, does not contain alcohol, fragrances or dyes.
The cream is used as a comprehensive care for dry and sensitive skin. There are many indications for use, I was more attracted to the point about dry skin, loss of elasticity and firmness. I have a combination skin type and have a lot of dry, sometimes even flaky areas on my face.
The consistency of the cream is easy to use, it is neither thick nor runny, spreads easily over the skin, is quickly absorbed, and has no odor. When applied evenly, it does not leave a greasy sheen. I have an area with dry skin, redness and flaking, and I apply a lot of cream there. Here it takes a little longer to absorb; at first there is a slight oily sheen, but after it dries completely it disappears.
Skin hydration is noticeable after the first use, it feels like the cream is effective and efficient. The manufacturer does not limit the duration of use of the cream. The cream is suitable for face and body, applied in an even layer 1-2 times a day. I use the cream daily. The redness did not disappear at all, but decreased significantly, and the flaking disappeared during the period of use.
I liked the Pharmtek Skin-Activ cream and recommend it to those with dry skin.
Composition and properties of the cream
Complex cosmetic product Skin Activ with a healing effect on the skin is available in soft tubes of 75 grams.
The active substances are three natural ingredients that can support the moisture retention mechanism in skin cells:
- Hyaluronic acid: is produced by the pharmaceutical industry in powders and granules, with high or low molecular weight content. Sterilized solutions of this acid are used for the production of cosmetic and medicinal preparations. The process of natural biosynthesis provides the body with this substance in sufficient quantities.
- Urea or organic urea (2%): solid crystalline, white, water-soluble powder. Regulates the water balance in epithelial tissue cells, reduces the evaporation of moisture from the skin surface.
- Lactic acid: is released during the fermentation of fermented milk glucose through an enzymatic reaction. It activates the action of hyaluronic acid, cleanses the skin of dead cells, softens and moisturizes its surface.
The main components of the complex cream are also:
- Vitamins PP, A, E promote the absorption of nutrients, improve the tone and structure of the skin, and stimulate its renewal.
- Depanthenol 3% is a medicinal product that contains provitamin B5, has a beneficial effect on aging skin, restores damaged cells and promotes their regeneration process.
- Vegetable oils (olive, avocado or peach) are a lipid base for moisturizers, maintain the water-fat balance in skin cells, and maintain the integrity of the protective barrier of the epidermis.
Additional chemicals make up a small percentage of the total. They combine components, form a soft cream consistency, and provide long-term storage without loss of moisturizing and healing effect.
What does the manufacturer promise?
The manufacturer promises that anyone who suffers from acne will be able to get rid of acne with a 100% guarantee only using this cream. Also on the official manufacturer’s website it is written that the cream:
- Precisely cleanses the skin of acne.

And the composition itself is developed taking into account all the needs of the skin of a teenager - a boy. And there is no doubt about its action.
Indications
This remedy is well known to people suffering from atopic dermatitis and eczema. It helps both during periods of exacerbation of the disease and during remission.
Skin-Active cream is used in cases where the skin:
- very dry, flaky;
- susceptible to allergic dermatitis;
- suffered from prolonged exposure to the sun or solarium;
- every day is tested by makeup or an aggressive environment (for example, working in a dusty workshop);

Manufacturer
The cream is a targeted anti-acne active product produced by the cosmetic concern “Clean Line”. All cosmetics produced here are based on the knowledge of herbs that are used to achieve beauty. Moreover, special lines have been developed for women, men and teenagers.
The brand was created back in 1996, and even then it combined the knowledge of modern cosmetology and the possibilities of herbal medicine into a single whole. Therefore, the cream that we describe in this article can be trusted.
The effectiveness of Skin Active cream
One of the main active ingredients of the product is hyaluronic acid.
The cream belongs to the category of parapharmaceuticals, is a cosmetic product with a complex of natural substances and has a therapeutic effect. Designed for special care and healing of weakened skin, replenishing the water balance in its tissues. High efficiency of application is ensured by the properties of hyaluronic acid. It has the physical property of binding and retaining water molecules for a long time in the surface and subcutaneous layers. Maintaining optimal moisture content in the epidermis prevents the aging process of cells and the formation of wrinkles. Deep in the dermis, moisture maintains the structure of the fibers of organic extracellular proteins collagen and elastin, which provide strength, firmness and elasticity to skin tissue.
Cream SKIN-ACTIVE composition
Active ingredients: hyaluronic acid, panthenol, vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin PP, urea, olive oil, avocado oil.
Healthy skin
In normal condition, the skin provides a number of functions, the main one of which is to protect the internal environment of the body from adverse environmental factors. This task is provided by the skin barrier, consisting of a lipid film located on the surface of the skin and the stratum corneum of the skin. The stratum corneum consists of dead cells (horny scales), closely welded together by lipids. This structure of the skin barrier protects against the penetration of any external irritants into the body, including allergens, bacteria, and viruses.
The skin barrier also plays an important role in maintaining normal skin hydration levels. It prevents the loss of intradermal moisture. Moisture is distributed in the epidermis and stratum corneum of the skin and retained with the help of a complex of substances that make up the natural moisturizing factor.
Causes of dryness and irritation
Dry skin is accompanied by a complex of symptoms, such as roughness, flaking, decreased elasticity and firmness (loose skin), a feeling of tightness, and microcracks. Against this background, skin sensitivity often increases, leading to irritation, redness, and itching. The main cause of dry skin is hereditary predisposition. Dry skin is accompanied by a complex of symptoms, such as roughness, flaking, decreased elasticity and firmness (loose skin), a feeling of tightness, and microcracks. Against this background, skin sensitivity often increases, leading to irritation, redness, and itching. The main cause of dry skin is a hereditary predisposition due to insufficient function of skin cells. As a result, the functioning of the skin barrier is disrupted, a deficiency of lipids and natural moisturizing factor substances occurs, and the stratum corneum is “loosened.” Intradermal moisture is not retained and evaporates from the surface of the skin. In addition to hereditary predisposition, there are a number of external reasons leading to dryness:
- improper skin care, for example, chemical exposure due to frequent use of soap or shower gel, other cosmetics, household detergents;
- climatic features of the environment: high or low temperature, insufficient air humidity, strong wind, prolonged exposure to the sun;
- aggressive environmental factors: tobacco smoke, car exhaust gases and industrial emissions.
Dry skin can also be a symptom of skin diseases (dermatitis, psoriasis, ichthyosis, etc.) and internal diseases (hypothyroidism, intestinal malabsorption, oncological and hematological diseases, hypovitaminosis, hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, chronic renal failure).
How to deal with dry skin
Based on the mechanisms of dryness, the fight can go in three directions:
- moisturizing the skin with special moisturizers;
- strengthening the skin barrier with lipids in creams and emulsions;
- improving skin cell function to increase lipid production to build the skin barrier and produce skin natural moisturizing factor substances.
Contraindications and additional information
Skin Activ cream is a drug that practically does not cause allergies (hypoallergenic), but the possibility of human hypersensitivity to any natural ingredient in its composition should not be excluded.
Before use, it is suggested to conduct a trial test for allergens. A thin layer of cream is applied to the inside of the arm or elbow. If after 40 minutes there is no redness, rashes, or itching, the cream can be used without fear. It is not recommended to use the cream for severe dermatitis (psoriasis, etc.).
Long-term use of the cream leads to the skin becoming accustomed to its properties, so it is better to alternate its use with other moisturizers.
Storage conditions must be observed. The temperature should not be higher than 25 degrees or lower than 5 degrees Celsius. Failure to follow the rules leads to decomposition of the creamy mass and loss of the inherent properties of hyaluronic acid.
All Skin Activ products can be purchased in the pharmacy related products department. The price is affordable for the mass consumer. The use of these products is safe for human health.
How does Skin Active work?
The face cream, reviews of which are mostly positive, has a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin. Girls who have already tried the drug note that it has several unique properties and performs several functions at once.
1. Light consistency. Very little cosmetic composition is required, since it is perfectly distributed over the skin and is instantly absorbed into the deep layers of the epidermis. At the same time, the cream does not become covered with an unpleasant greasy film.
2. Eliminates irritation. After application, the product instantly eliminates itching and burning that may occur after washing.
3. Moisturizing and nutrition. The drug normalizes all metabolic processes. As soon as you apply the cream to your face, you will feel how it is saturated with moisture and beneficial components.
4. Protection. After the product is absorbed, an invisible film is formed on the skin, which protects the dermis from the effects of pathogenic microorganisms and viruses.

And all this is achieved without the presence of alcohol, parabens, petrochemical products, dyes and synthetic fragrances. Women who prefer natural cosmetics will gratefully appreciate such care from the manufacturer.
Recommendations for application
To achieve a visual, health-improving, cosmetic effect and the desired accumulation of hyaluronate in the tissue cells of the skin, Skin Active cream instructions for use recommend applying it as follows:
- In the warm season, the procedure is carried out twice a day (morning, evening). The cream is applied to clean skin immediately after washing. This is necessary so that the cream is better absorbed and a protective gas-tight film is formed. A small (pea-sized) amount of product is applied to the face, avoiding the area around the eyes, then rubbed in with light circular movements.
- With the onset of cold weather, the number of procedures is reduced. The cream should be applied once a day, preferably in the evening. This is due to the fact that moisturizing components freeze in the cold.
- After application, a slight tingling sensation may occur on the skin, which quickly passes.
- You should start using the cream from the age of 25-30, at the first signs of loss of skin tone and the appearance of light wrinkles.
- For dry and irritated body skin, manufacturers recommend using Skin Active emulsion. Available in 250 ml plastic bottles. The liquid form of the cream has the same composition. The moisturizing emulsion can be applied to all parts of the body. Should be used after taking a shower or bath on steamed skin.
Instructions for use
Cream Skin Active with hyaluronic acid is a complex preparation that provides nutrition to the cells in the skin and moisturizes its deep layers. Therefore, in order for the effect of using this product to correspond to the expected one, it is necessary to use it correctly. The cream is best applied to clean and damp skin; it is good to do this after taking a shower or bath, since in this case the skin best absorbs the necessary substances with open pores.
A small amount of cream is evenly applied with light movements directed from bottom to top, being careful not to stretch the skin. The most favorable time to use the cream is morning and evening. However, it is not prohibited to apply it more frequently if necessary.
Composition and beneficial properties
Among the components of the cream, experts especially highlight hyaluronic acid - a natural polysaccharide that is involved in the regeneration of damaged tissues, making them elastic and the skin elastic.
The acid has the property of attracting water and thus moisturizing the epidermal cells. The same functions (there is never too much moisture!) are performed by lactic acid.
In addition, the cream contains:
- oils – olive and peach (their task is to restore damaged skin);
- vitamin PP (it helps synthesize substances that create a kind of “protective barrier” for the skin);
- vitamins A, E and C (provide the healing properties of the cream);
- dexpanthenol (this substance is involved in the regeneration of the skin and relieves irritation);
- urea (thanks to it, the cream is well absorbed and moisture is retained inside the skin).
The unique composition of Skin-Active cream not only participates in the treatment of skin diseases, but also helps protect against them in the future - it protects the skin from viruses and pathogenic microorganisms, eliminates burning and itching, and therefore prevents scratches and abrasions that are inevitable when scratching .
Cosmetologists note that the cream is perfectly absorbed and does not contain artificial dyes, fragrances, or petrochemical products.

It is imperceptible on the face and does not interfere with the supply of oxygen, however, it acts as a barrier to the possible introduction of pathogenic microorganisms. The active components of the cream increase the processes of intracellular metabolism, since the cream is able to act on the deep layers of the skin and activate its own regenerative capabilities there.
The numerous beneficial properties of this cosmetic product are as follows:

The great advantage of the cream is that it retains its effect for a long time and does not require regular repeated procedures. It is effective enough to combat various age-related changes at any age and maintain the existing skin structure. Prevents dryness and burns after procedures.
Contraindications
Although Skin-Active cream is called hypoallergenic, it can still cause an allergic reaction in some people. Individual intolerance will be the only contraindication when using this drug.
The question usually arises: are there any restrictions during pregnancy?
Cosmetologists explain that, in principle, there are no contraindications (unless there is an allergy) - the drug from the surface of the skin enters the blood in minute quantities and does not pose a danger to either mother or baby.
However, a different kind of problem arises. During pregnancy, a woman experiences serious hormonal changes throughout her body, and there have been cases when, against this background, the use of a cream with hyaluronic acid provoked in the future an allergy to this substance and, accordingly, to any drugs made with its participation.
And since hyaluron is a traditional component of anti-aging drugs, the woman deprived herself of the opportunity, for example, to start using them after 10 years.
And another piece of advice from doctors: any drug can sooner or later become addictive and become less effective. To prevent this from happening, you need to give the body a rest even from such a high-quality drug as Skin-Active, and temporarily switch to another one that has approximately the same properties.

Reviews about the cream
By profession I am an archivist. You have to spend a lot of time with various old documents. The room is dark, unventilated, the air is dry. I began to notice a sharp deterioration in the skin of my face and hands. I accidentally saw Skin Active cream at the pharmacy. I liked the information on the packaging: hyaluronic acid, natural substances, moisturizing effect.
The cream I purchased
was perfect for my skin.
Improvements were noticeable after a short period of use. The skin is refreshed, the state of its tightness has disappeared, the surface of the face has become smooth and pleasant to the touch. In a word, my skin looked younger. Even my colleagues noticed this, to whom I recommended buying this high-quality cream, especially at such a low price Olga. Elektrostal In August, the whole family and I went south. While packing my cosmetics bag, I also took Skin Active cream, because the sun loses a lot of moisture from the skin of the face. We traveled by train for more than a day. The carriage was without air conditioning, the compartment was hot and stuffy. In the evening we unpacked our things, went to the sea, and I decided to use the cream. To my surprise, the cream went bad. First, an oily liquid flowed out, and then the fine-grained contents were squeezed out. Then I found out that you can’t store it in the heat, hyaluronic acid decomposes under the influence of high temperature. I threw away the cream, although it was a great pity. Not a big loss for the money, but I enjoyed using it.
Svetlana, health worker
I have been using these Skin Active medicinal and cosmetic products for a long time. I use the cream on my face and lubricate the skin of my hands, shoulders, and décolleté with the emulsion. I decided to write my review when I read that you can’t use it because of non-herbal ingredients.
I would like to note that
stabilizers, emulsifiers and other additives are used by all cosmetics manufacturers; you simply cannot do without them. They are approved for use and are harmless in small quantities. Now for other comments. The instructions indicate that the cream should be used on dry, dehydrated skin of the face, not the heels. To treat skin dermatitis, you should not use cosmetic cream; there are many other special products. The cream is good, easily absorbed, quickly rejuvenates the skin and is inexpensive. Maria
Indications for use of the cream
Thanks to the cream, a woman feels attractive, she remains in a good mood, which also has a favorable effect on her appearance. What needs to be done for such changes to happen to each of you? There is nothing complicated - you just need to go to the pharmacy and buy yourself this amazing product in the form of Skin Active cream.
It is recommended to use it if such shortcomings are noticed as:
- dry skin of the face and neck, accompanied by peeling, tightness and often itching;
- identification of the first signs of aging in the form of fine wrinkles, as well as the appearance of sagging;
- loss of elasticity of the upper layer of skin from the influence of unfavorable external conditions;
- recovery from sunburn, after peeling;
- restoration of the epidermis after a course of treatment of certain types of dermatitis;
- preventive actions against rosacea, or for skin care in the presence of this disease.
Features of use
One tube lasts approximately four months if used sparingly. The cream is quickly absorbed and leaves no traces. Therefore, you can safely use it as a base for makeup without fear of clogging your pores. Toning products and powder last just fine on this cosmetic product. This is an excellent budget replacement for expensive special bases. However, the manufacturer itself does not indicate such information on the Skin Active packaging.
The cream has extremely positive reviews of its effectiveness. After application, you can immediately feel how the skin receives good saturation, nutrition and hydration. Girls note that the results are visible to the naked eye after about a week of constant use. The capricious epidermis stops peeling, small wrinkles disappear. The oval face acquires more toned features. The skin becomes more beautiful, with a uniform and expressive tone. This is more noticeable if before the cream it had a dull color and redness. The result is a rested and fresh look, a soft and smooth face. Such positive changes will be noticeable even to others.
It is noteworthy that the cream has a cumulative effect and really cares for the epidermis on the face. While similar cosmetic preparations only mask imperfections. When the product runs out, you don’t have to buy the tube again, and the results will last for several more months.
