Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
Cynovit wash gel and shampoo
zinc pyrithione as one of the active ingredients , which is characterized by anti-inflammatory and antifungal effectiveness, expressed mainly in relation to Pityrosporum orbiculare and Pityrosporum ovale, which are the cause of the inflammatory process and excessive peeling in skin diseases. The antibacterial effect of this component is observed against (Streptococcus spp., Proteus spp., Staphylococcus spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli).
Other active ingredients in shampoo and shower gel are climbazole and urea (urea). Climbazole is an antifungal agent, the effectiveness of which is not inferior to ketoconazole , and urea helps to moisturize the skin and exfoliate dead epithelial particles from it.
Additionally, the shampoo contains panthenol , which exhibits some anti-inflammatory effect and also accelerates epithelization (the formation of fresh tissue in damaged areas).
Cynovit cream-gel and spray
The basis of these cosmetic forms is zinc pyrrolidone carbonate (zinc PCA), which inhibits 5-alpha reductase and reduces the amount of active testosterone found in the sebaceous glands and hair follicles. Zinc PCA reduces the volume of sebum and improves its outflow by reducing viscosity and increasing the elasticity of the walls of the hair follicles. The antibacterial effects of this ingredient are mainly aimed at combating microorganisms : Propionibacterium acnes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus epidermalis, Esherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.
Other active components - dipotassium glycyrrhizinate (comparable to cortisol in its anti-inflammatory effect), tetranyl-U (characterized by antibacterial and antifungal effectiveness) and panthenol (stimulating skin renewal processes, making it smoother and more elastic) perfectly complement the effects of zinc .
Cynovit cream
The anti-allergenic cream, just like shampoo and gel, contains zinc pyrithione , which reduces the intracellular concentration of ATP and promotes depolarization of cell membranes, leading to the death of bacteria and fungi . This ingredient has anti-inflammatory, antifungal and antibacterial effectiveness, mostly directed against Streptococcus spp., Proteus spp., Staphylococcus spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. Its sebostatic effect (normalizing the functionality of the sebaceous glands) and keratoregulating effects (suppressing pathological cellular growth of the superficial skin layer and eliminating excessive peeling) are also manifested.
In turn, dipotassium glycyrrhizinate (comparable to cortisol in its anti-inflammatory effect), natural oils (promoting absorption, well absorbed by the skin, nourishing and improving its protective function) and fatty ( linolenic and linoleic ) acids (which are protective components of the skin barrier and support its functionality) potentiate the overall effect of the cream.

How to use zinc ointment
Zinc ointment is used in pediatrics as a protective agent against diaper rash. In addition, it is recommended to lubricate the baby's delicate skin under the diaper every time after bathing. Zinc creates a reliable barrier that protects children's skin from constant contact with urine and loose stool. By applying zinc ointment to the buttocks daily, you can protect your baby from diaper dermatitis.
The disinfecting effect of the drug is used when treating wounds. By applying the composition to abrasions, you can avoid infection, prevent acidification of the damaged surface, and speed up the process of skin regeneration.
The main indications are:
- diaper rash;
- scratches;
- dermatitis;
- eczema;
- cuts.
In addition, zinc ointment is used to care for the elderly and immobile patients. Treatment of bedsores slows down their spread and disinfects, which eliminates the risk of secondary infections.

Reviews about Cynovit
Reviews of Cynovit shampoo when used against manifestations of psoriasis , dandruff and other similar diseases are divided approximately equally. Some people were completely satisfied with its effect, others, on the contrary, did not feel any positive effect of the shampoo and even identified a number of side effects ( dryness , tangling and even hair loss ).
Against this background, reviews of the shower gel are much better, perhaps due to the smaller appearance of various skin rashes on areas of the body that are devoid of dense hair.
Reviews for cream-gel and spray for acne and acne are approximately the same and in most cases are positive. Spray and cream-gel for problem skin have proven themselves quite well and are quite popular among people with various diseases accompanied by skin rashes all over the body. Negative reviews about Cynovit spray and acne cream gel mainly indicate gradual addiction to the ingredients of these products, after which a decrease in their effectiveness is observed.
As is the case with shampoo. reviews of Cynovit cream were distributed approximately 50/50 between positive, when the effects of the cream helped get rid of skin rashes , and negative, when its use did not lead to any changes in the condition of the skin.
Non-hormonal ointments for psoriasis
Non-hormonal agents are considered moderately effective and at the same time inexpensive ointments for psoriasis. Their advantages compared to hormonal ones include:
- relative safety;
- lack of addiction;
- lower cost;
- possibility of long-term use without harm to health;
- no serious side effects;
- preservation of hormonal levels;
- no load on the liver and kidneys;
But even with all the advantages, non-hormonal ointments for psoriasis cannot be called truly effective. Unlike hormonal ones, they have a much weaker effect. Their effect does not appear so quickly, so they are prescribed only for mild manifestations of psoriasis. They are also considered safer for the treatment of psoriasis in children.
Non-hormonal ointments eliminate peeling, swelling, itching, relieve inflammation and irritation. In addition, despite the safer composition, the use of such drugs does not exclude the development of an allergic reaction if a person is intolerant to one or another component.
Depending on the effect they provide, all non-hormonal ointments are divided into several categories:
- Others: ichthyol, cartolin, grease, tar, naphthalan. They have anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effects. But it must be borne in mind that such ointments are not recommended for the progressive stage of psoriasis and for large lesions. Tar ointment is contraindicated in phototherapy because it has a photosensitizing effect.
- Herbal medicines. This includes products based on sage, celandine, aloe, elecampane and other plant components. They are considered the safest of all non-hormonal ointments. But the plant base can cause allergic reactions.
- Keratolytics: zinc, salicylic, zinc-salicylic. Their main property is the exfoliation of dead cells, which in psoriasis do not have time to be rejected. Keratolytics can cause increased inflammatory reactions, a burning sensation, and increased pigmentation of surrounding healthy skin.
Moisturizing ointments are used as non-hormonal auxiliary agents for psoriasis. But they only help eliminate the feeling of dryness and tightness of the skin.
Features of non-hormonal ointments
Salicylic ointment for psoriasis is one of the most inexpensive, but it must be borne in mind that its action for such a serious disease is often insufficient. They show good exfoliating, softening and antiseptic effects, but like other non-hormonal ointments, they take at least 2 weeks to appear, and sometimes later.
The same can be said about the use of grease-based ointment for psoriasis. In addition, these are very specific products that have a pungent odor. It can stick to furniture and clothing and is very difficult to wash off.
Among the listed ointments there are no those for the use of which clinical trials have been conducted. This means that their effectiveness is only confirmed by the experience of some users. Clinical trials were carried out only on the following drugs:
- as Pimecrolimus (Elidel cream);
- Calcipotriol (Davonex);
- Zinc pyrithione (Zinocap).
This suggests that their use can indeed be beneficial. But Pimecrolimus, if used uncontrolled, has a risk of infection, and Calcipotriol should not be used if more than 30% of the skin surface is affected, as this can lead to hypercalcemia.
The only extremely safe remedy remains zinc pyrithione. Thus, answering the question of which ointment is best for psoriasis, we can say that Zinocap. But this does not negate the fact that its effect is still weaker than that of hormonal drugs.
