Pharmacological properties

The gel is characterized by anti-inflammatory, absorbable, antibacterial and sebostatic (drying) action. The lotion has a cleansing effect.

This is accompanied by pallor, decrease in size and rapid resorption of inflammatory nodules localized on the skin. The skin becomes matte and velvety. The preparation in the form of a gel is considered optimal for use in the case of oily seborrheic skin, since the use of creams and ointments can increase the growth of harmful microorganisms.

The active ingredients of the lotion, which has a balanced pH value and contains small amounts of alcohol-containing substances, promote gentle cleansing of the skin, removing excess lipids and bacteria from its surface that provoke the appearance of acne. This form of the preparation ensures cleanliness and freshness of the skin, reduces its excessive shine and helps maintain optimal pH.

Reviews about Delex-Acne

The preparations of this series can be combined with make-up products, they have a pleasant smell and cope well with post-acne manifestations. Many users do not like the high cost of Delex-Acne, and some argue that the funds in their case were useless.
