Principle of action, efficiency

The drug has anti-inflammatory properties, therefore it helps to eliminate the manifestations of dermatological pathologies accompanied by an inflammatory process.

Adapalene in the composition of the drug has a retinoid-like effect, that is, it helps to speed up the process restoration of skin cells, prevents the destruction of tissues and the negative impact of external factors. The component normalizes metabolic processes in tissues during penetration into the deep layers of the skin. This has a positive effect on the condition of the skin, especially if patients have chronic pathologies.

Experts note other properties of the external medication:

• Elimination of redness and puffiness. Such symptoms are often present in patients with dermatological diseases. When applied, the positive effect is noted quite quickly.
• Reduces the number of rashes on the face and other parts of the patient's body. The tool prevents the development of complications if the patient has multiple acne.
• Prevents the reappearance of acne and lesions in one area of ​​the body. Often, in patients in one area, new lesions appear immediately after the disappearance of the previous ones.
• Helps to improve tissue nutrition, stimulates the flow of oxygen to them.
• Reduces the likelihood of developing pathogenic bacteria on the skin. The antimicrobial effect is achieved through the presence of benzoyl peroxide. This ingredient also improves the exfoliation of dead cells and tissue repair.

The tool also helps to somewhat reduce the amount of sebum produced, which in most cases provokes the formation of new blackheads and acne. As a result, the amount of sebum necessary to protect tissues from the negative effects of various factors is normalized.

Effezel is a gel (reviews on the action of the drug differ depending on the characteristics of its use), which, when applied to the skin, is absorbed quickly. The amount of ingredients in the systemic circulation is minimal, but this is not considered a reason for uncontrolled use without a doctor's prescription.

The accumulation of ingredients in the blood is minimal. After the end of the therapeutic course, a small amount of ingredients is found in the tissues, but after a few days they are excreted in a natural way. The minimal accumulation of ingredients slightly reduces the risk of complications in the form of an overdose. Despite this, prolonged use leads to an increase in the concentration of substances and the development of complications.

In patients with a violation of the integrity of the skin, more intensive absorption of the components of the composition into the blood occurs, which leads to an increase in concentration and the risk of complications. In the patient's body, the components of the composition are transformed into metabolites, after which they are excreted with the help of the kidneys.

Indications for use

The tool is used for various dermatological disorders after a preliminary examination by a specialist.

The main indications for prescribing a medicine:

• The patient has acne on the face, chest, or upper back. Usually, it is in this zone that the increased work of the sebaceous glands is noted, so acne appears more often.
• The appearance of acne, as well as complications in the form of pustules, papules. In this case, the condition of the skin deteriorates significantly.
• Dermatological diseases, which are accompanied by the formation of multiple or single lesions.
• Accession of infection in the presence of acne, comedones in large quantities.

Patient reviews confirm that the gel has other contraindications:

• Violation of the integrity of the skin in the area of ​​the intended application of the drug. In this case, the healing process can be disrupted, and various complications of an inflammatory origin develop.
• The period of pregnancy and lactation is considered a relative contraindication for therapy. This is due to the lack of sufficient data on the effect of the ingredients of the composition on the body of a woman and a child.
• The patient's age is up to 12 years. The efficacy and safety of the drug for children has not been studied, therefore, if necessary, they are prescribed other drugs. Experts note that in most cases, the use of medicine for patients under 12 years old is not required, since acne often occurs in patients over 13 years old.
• Bleeding in the area of ​​application of the drug, the appearance of an inflammatory focus, the formation of pus. Despite the antimicrobial properties of the drug, its use for such violations is not recommended, since the prescription of medicines with more pronounced properties is required.
• The advanced age of the patient. Usually, such patients do not need the use of medication, but it can provoke complications, which is associated with a decrease in sebum production. The skin of elderly patients is often dry, and the action of the remedy increases the risk of complications.
• Acute psoriasis and eczema. The drug for such violations does not help to improve the condition, but it can lead to the appearance of negative symptoms, aggravate the course of the pathological condition.

Over the course of several days, the symptoms may worsen or disappear, depending on the organism of a particular patient.

Such complications require an immediate visit to the doctor and the appointment of treatment in order to prevent the progression of the condition.

It is forbidden to ignore the symptoms or use medication on your own to eliminate them. Lack of therapy in most cases worsens the condition and leads to other complications. Overdose during treatment does not develop, which is associated with the absence of a cumulative effect and minimal systemic absorption of the components of the composition.
