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:

- 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.

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.

Contraindications
The only limitation to the use of the combined product is individual intolerance to the ingredients. Since there are quite a lot of them in Losterin, preliminary testing is recommended.

If during this time it does not turn red or swell, then there is no hypersensitivity to the components.

Irina, 37 years old, Volgograd
I use Losterin for daily care and am not overjoyed with the results achieved. It perfectly moisturizes and nourishes, eliminates small pimples. 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.
