For dry skin type, inflammatory elements are also not characteristic, but it is prone to dehydration and needs constant deep moistening.
Why and how do inflammations develop on the skin?
The formation of inflammatory elements, such as acne, pimples and comedones, is characteristic of oily and combination skin. These types of skin are prone to excessive secretion of the sebaceous glands.
Cosmetologists have introduced the concept of acne to refer to problematic skin. There are several manifestations of acne: acne, acne and comedones.
Acne is an inflamed hair follicle, inside of which purulent contents are formed. The surface of the skin above the inflamed follicle is red and inflamed.
Comedones are a type of acne, which are also greasy stoppers in the pores and appear as black dots.
There is also a mixed form of acne, which is characterized by the presence of different inflammatory elements.
The most common inflammatory skin formationare caused by the activity of microorganisms Propionibacterium Acnes and Staphylococcus Epidermidis, the nutrient medium for which is the depleted epithelium and the secrets of the sebaceous glands. Therefore, the treatment of acne, in fact, means antibiotic therapy and a decrease in the function of the sebaceous glands.

- "Basiron AS" gel 2.5%.
- Baziron AS gel 5.0%.
- Baziron AS gel 10.0%.
About what drug is needed for a specificpatient, the medical specialist decides by conducting a series of laboratory tests. Decision to buy the drug itself is fraught with unpleasant consequences: overdose, allergic reaction and contact dermatitis, the consequences of which will have to be removed for quite some time.
The main active component of the gel isspecial substance - benzoyl peroxide in a concentration that depends on the type of drug. In addition to the main component, the complex includes a glycerol-acrylate copolymer complex, which has the function of sebum adsorption. Being released from the composition of the complex, glycerin nourishes and moisturizes the skin of the face.
Pharmacological action of the drug
Since the drug is applied externally, nothe need to remove it in any way from the body. Penetrating into the skin, benzyl peroxide is transformed into benzoic acid by chemical transformation. This compound has a good penetrating effect and produces a deep therapeutic effect in the layers of the skin. Then the acid enters the bloodstream and through the kidneys excreted in the body unchanged. Medical practice denies the effect of benzoic acid accumulation in the skin or in the blood of patients who use Baziron AU for quite a long time. Gel "Baziron AS", reviews of dermatologists about which confirm its effectiveness in combating acne, acne and comedones, has a wide range of therapeutic actions. It performs the following functions:
- Improves blood supply to the tissues and, as a result,saturation with nutrients and oxygen of the skin. This property makes this drug effective in the treatment of trophic ulcers caused by various vascular pathologies.

Baziron AS eliminates a favorable environment for the development of microorganisms: it actively removes the epithelium and influences the amount and chemical composition of sebum. The drug reduces the acidity of the environment of fat, reducing its fat content. The gland itself is reduced in size, and its secretory function is reduced.
The gel combines anti-inflammatory andantioxidant properties that prolong the youthfulness of the skin. Remarkable is the fact that microorganisms do not have the ability to develop immunity to benzoic acid, and addiction to the drug does not occur.
