Complex Demodex - Myths and Reality
Unfortunately, there are no official medical reports about the effectiveness of this product. And other data, in addition to those provided on the websites of distribution companies, is extremely small, so it is necessary to focus mainly on the feedback of those who used this product.
According to these reviews:
- The drugs really have a beneficial effect on the skin, normalize the secretion of sebum, narrow the pores (primarily a tonic and gel for washing).
- Drugs in most cases have this antiseptic, antipruritic and anti-inflammatory effect.
- The effectiveness of this complex as a therapeutic, and not a means of prevention and complementary therapy for the elimination of symptoms is not proven - reviews vary greatly. Since the composition of the Demodex complex, with the exception of plant extracts and vitamin complexes, is not known, and complete instructions for the preparations exist only in Chinese, and on this basis it is also difficult to determine their effectiveness.
- There are references to pronounced allergic reactions to individual drugs or to the entire line of drugs.
- Preparations Demodex complex are quite expensive, and the instructions require a regular long-term (from 2 months) their use, with several funds at the same time.
Based on the above, it can be concluded that the preparations of the Demodex complex have a certain positive effect and, in the absence of allergic reactions, can be used as one of the means of combating the disease, to relieve symptoms and improve the condition of the affected skin. However, their use can not serve as a substitute for classical medication therapy for this disease.
