Series of specialized cosmetics "Baziron Control": reviews from dermatologists

From this article you will learn:

• Baziron AC gel for acne – composition analysis,
• instructions for use,
• reviews of Baziron AS from dermatologists.

Baziron AS is an antimicrobial drug in the form of a gel for external use, which is intended for the treatment of acne (papulopustular form of acne). The active component of the drug is a bactericidal component such as “benzene peroxide”, which effectively affects the bacteria involved in the formation of acne. These include primarily the bacteria Propionibacterium acnes (P.acnes) and Streptococcus epidermidis.

Reviews from dermatologists about the drug Baziron for acne indicate that this drug is the gold standard for acne treatment. To date, there are no strains of P. acnes or S. epidermidis bacteria that are resistant to benzoyl peroxide, but you should understand that acne cannot be treated with benzoyl peroxide alone. And we will always combine the drug Baziron with topical retinoids (Klenzit or Differin), and sometimes also with antibiotics.

Photos of Baziron AS gel packaging –

The Baziron AS® trademark belongs to a pharmaceutical company (Switzerland), but production is located in Italy. There are 3 versions of the release form - gel with a concentration of benzoyl peroxide of 2.5, 5.0 and 10%. The drug is available over-the-counter and can also be used in patients over 12 years of age.

How much does Baziron AS cost in pharmacies, analogues:

For Baziron AS, the price in pharmacies will average from 800 rubles (per tube of 40 g). It should be noted that all forms of release cost almost the same - regardless of the concentration of benzoyl peroxide. The price is for 2022. This drug has no cheap analogues in Russia, or indeed any direct analogues. Cheaper, you can only buy cleansers with benzoyl peroxide, but this is not very effective and is more suitable for prevention than treatment.

However, there are several combination preparations also for external use, which also contain benzoyl peroxide. This, for example, is the drug “Indoxyl” (Great Britain) - it contains a combination of benzoyl peroxide 5% and the antibiotic clindamycin 1% (it costs 800 rubles per 25 g tube). And the drug Effezel (France) - it contains benzoyl peroxide 2.5% in combination with the retinoid adapalene 0.1%. This drug is already significantly more expensive than Baziron - the price for it will be at least 1,300 rubles (for a 30 g tube).

Composition and release form

in LDPE tubes of 40 g; in a cardboard pack 1 tube.

Indications for use of the drug Baziron:

According to the instructions, it has only 1 indication for use:

• acne.

But the fact is that the indications in the official instructions for use are written incorrectly. The fact is that the term acne can imply the presence of only non-inflammatory elements - acne vulgaris (comedones). Such non-inflammatory elements do not require the use of antimicrobial agents, but are treated only with topical retinoids (Differin, Klenzit) or drugs with azelaic acid (Skinoren, Azelac).

Preparations with benzoyl peroxide are used when there are inflammatory elements (acne). The latter can be either in the form of pustules with pus, or papules without pus. Therefore, the correct indication for the use of Baziron should be “Papulopustular acne of mild, moderate or severe degree.”

Baziron: reviews of dermatologists about the drug

As we said above, reviews of Baziron AS from dermatologists allow us to deservedly classify this drug as the gold standard for the treatment of acne.
But, only as part of complex therapy! International protocols for the treatment of acne are well described in the most famous textbook on dermatology - Fitzpatrick's Dermatology (we use the 8th edition). What does this textbook tell us? 1) We have already said that acne can be of 2 types. Firstly, these are papules (without pus inside), and secondly, they are pustules with pus. A patient may have both types of acne well expressed at the same time, or one type may dominate the other. And this is very important for us, because... When prescribing a treatment regimen, we will take into account what type of inflammatory elements dominates in the patient.

2) If the patient is dominated by papules, then we will prescribe him the drug Baziron AS once a day (in the morning) + one of the topical retinoids based on adapalene. For example, it could be Differin or Clenzit (optional). Topical retinoids are also used externally once a day, but at night (24stoma.ru).

3) If the patient has pustules with pus, then this is a clear indication for using not only the combination of “benzoyl peroxide + topical retinoid”, but also adding an antibiotic. For mild to moderate severity, the antibiotic is prescribed externally; for severe acne, it is prescribed orally. Thus, for mild to moderate severity, we must use a combination of drugs. And here there are many possible combinations of different drugs.

For example, we can still use the drug Baziron AS 1 time a day (in the morning) + the drug Klenzit-S in the evening (it contains the retinoid adapalene + the antibiotic clindamycin). Another option may involve the use not of Baziron, but of combination drugs where benzoyl peroxide is combined with antibiotics or retinoids. Examples of combination drugs for acne treatment:

• Indoxyl (UK) – benzoyl peroxide 5% + clindamycin 1%.
• Effezel (France) – benzoyl peroxide 2.5% + retinoid adapalene 0.1%.

Those. we can, for example, use the combination drug Indoxyl once a day (in the morning), and in the evening use one of the topical retinoids (Differin or Clenzit - to choose from). Another option is that we can use the combined drug Effezel once a day (in the evening), but in the morning of that day we then have to use one of the antibiotic gels - it could be Dalatsin, Clindavit or others. As you can see: the abundance of different drugs gives us room for maneuver.

Important: But we want to assure you that acne treatment is not limited to just prescribing benzoyl peroxide, topical retinoids or antibiotics. Phototherapy, laser treatment, and in women, oral contraceptives to reduce the production of androgens can play a major role in treatment. You can read about all these methods using the links below.

Side effect of the drug -

When using the drug, local skin irritation is possible, which is normal. Frequent symptoms of irritation include flaking and dry skin, redness, and a burning sensation. More rare symptoms include skin soreness and contact dermatitis. Rarely, allergic contact dermatitis may occur, which will require discontinuation of the drug.

In order to prevent or reduce the symptoms of irritation, we recommend that you start using Baziron AS with a 2.5% concentration of benzoyl peroxide. If symptoms of irritation do occur, then within 1-2 weeks you can switch to a single use of the drug (once a day), then returning to use 2 times a day (of course, if this was initially necessary).

Important : Benzoyl peroxide increases skin sensitivity to the sun. This means that when using the drug during periods of high solar activity, hyperpigmentation of the skin in the areas where the drug is applied is highly likely. Therefore, you will need to use sun protection products - no less than SPF 50; face-shading glasses, a Panama hat or a cap will also be useful. Let us remind you that products with SPF must be non-comedogenic (not clog pores), otherwise we will get an exacerbation of acne.

A good product SPF 50 for acne (in the form of a suspension) –

Contraindications for use –

• allergy to one of the components of the drug,
• children's age up to 12 years.

Special instructions - the drug can only be applied to the skin (not to the mucous membrane and red border of the lips). In case of contact with the mucous membranes of the nose, eyes, or mouth, rinse immediately with water. In addition, it is undesirable to use Baziron AC in parallel with products that have a drying, exfoliating effect, or alcohol-based products, because this will increase the irritant effect of the drug.

Use during pregnancy and lactation –

The drug has extremely low absorption from the surface of the skin, due to which it practically does not enter the bloodstream and does not have a systemic effect on the body. However, a large amount of breakdown products of benzoyl peroxide, namely benzoic acid, enters the body. No safety studies have been conducted during pregnancy and lactation. We hope that our article on the topic: Baziron AS price reviews was useful to you!

Baziron AS product

Baziron®️ AS is an antibacterial, anti-inflammatory drug for external use. Effective in destroying bacteria that provoke the development of acne and acne Propionibacterium acnes, Staphylococcus epidermidis. By reducing skin oiliness, it prevents the occurrence of comedones.

Gel Baziron®️ AC for acne gives you self-confidence and a feeling of harmony with the world around you.

Composition of Baziron®️ AC gel

Baziron®️ AC gel contains benzoyl peroxide, an active substance that was specially developed to combat bacteria, an important cause of acne. Baziron®️ AS has been proven to kill 94% of acne-causing bacteria within just 1 week of use, for which the gel can be called an “ambulance” for acne.

In addition to fighting bacteria, Baziron®️ AS also regulates the functioning of the sebaceous glands (helps get rid of oily sheen) and normalizes oxygen supply to the skin. And what is especially important is that Baziron®️ AS is not an antibiotic, so this gel retains its effect over time, the skin “does not get used to the drug” (resistance (resistance) of bacteria to the effects of the drug does not develop).

And although Baziron®️ AS, a medicinal gel for acne, is sold in pharmacies without a doctor’s prescription, clinicians around the world have thoroughly studied this drug, which is included in both Russian and European clinical recommendations for the treatment of patients with acne for dermatologists.

Mode of application

For acne of mild and often moderate severity, which is accompanied by comedones in combination with inflammatory processes, Baziron AS as monotherapy should be used for a long time - from 2 to 6 months. Significant improvement is usually observed after 1 month, and a lasting effect after 3 months of treatment. At the same time, in order to carefully cleanse and moisturize the skin, it is necessary to use modern non-comedogenic preparations without alcohol and other drying and irritating components.

How to apply Baziron AS

In patients with sensitive skin, it is recommended to use 2.5% (less often 5%) Baziron AS gel. It is applied 1-3 times a day in a small amount with a light touch (without rubbing) only to the affected areas of clean, dry skin. In addition, it is necessary not to forget about compliance with protective measures from exposure to sunlight and ultraviolet rays.

Produced by manufacturers in various countries, analogues of Baziron AS are not completely similar in composition, but only in the main component - benzoyl peroxide. Such analogues include "Oxygel" and "Azix-Derm" (India), "Indoxyl" (Ireland), "Proactive" (USA), "Eclaran 5" (France), "Oxy 5, 10" (UK), " Effezel" (France).

When choosing between Baziron and Differin (adapalene), you should keep in mind that, despite the different mechanisms, the results of their action are largely identical. Differin selectively binds to special receptors in the nuclei of keratinocytes and effectively regulates the processes of their final differentiation, as well as the exfoliation of plates formed by horny epithelial cells. Therefore, it is characterized by a more pronounced keratolytic effect.

Baziron AS is used for all stages of acne to carry out both the main and maintenance courses of therapy. Baziron AS is effective for comedonal and papulopustular forms of rashes, is well tolerated and is characterized by the absence of a photosensitizing effect.

At the same time, Baziron has more pronounced antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory, as well as depigmenting effects. Therefore, it is often prescribed before the use of Differin and as maintenance therapy after it, and sometimes simultaneously with Differin. In the latter case, the drug Effezel is usually used, which contains adapalene and benzoyl peroxide as the main components.

Which drug should I choose?

There is a wide selection of different drugs on the medicine market to combat problem skin. Therefore, the patient is faced with the question of which drug to choose? Let's compare some of them.

Which is better Baziron AC or Differin?

Both drugs are well tolerated by the skin and are not addictive, so they are used for long-term treatment. Medicinal substances have different active components, therefore they have different effects on the cause of acne formation.

The combined use of these substances is not permitted.

Experts differ in their opinions regarding which remedy is more effective. Both drugs are aimed at solving similar problems and require an individual prescription from a doctor.

The preference when choosing a drug is given depending on the type of problem. For example, Baziron AS effectively eliminates acne and pimples, and Differin, in turn, reduces the number of vulgar acne and helps eliminate age spots.

Therefore, the choice of drug for the treatment of problem skin depends on the patient’s personal preferences.

Which is better Baziron AS or Zinerit?

When comparing two medicinal substances, such as Zinerit and Baziron As, it should immediately be clarified that these two substances are aimed at different effects on the epidermis.

Zenerite fights surface problems and eliminates bacteria that are located inside the pores. Baziron AS, in turn, effectively eliminates the causes of inflammatory formations inside the skin layers and on the surface.

Application Zinerit has the property of being addictive, which makes it unsuitable for long-term use. Therefore, many dermatologists advise using Baziron As to eliminate skin defects.

What is better Baziron AS or Skinoren?

The use of these two drugs depends on the individual characteristics of the skin, therefore, before choosing a product, it is recommended to undergo appropriate diagnostics, based on the results of which the doctor will prescribe the most effective remedy.

Experts advise that if the use of Baziron AC does not bring the necessary results, then you need to use Skinoren.

If you have a large area of ​​skin that has been affected by acne, it is more effective to use Skinoren, since it can be applied to the entire area of ​​the epidermis in large quantities; Baziron AS is recommended to be applied only to places of inflammatory formations.

One of the advantages of Baziron AS is the ability to choose the most appropriate dosage of the product and its ability to moisturize the skin, while Skinoren dries the skin and can cause peeling. Also, very often, with sensitive skin, dryness and burning may occur at the application sites.
