Treatment of rashes requires an integrated approach. To eliminate this problem, it is necessary to work to normalize the gastrointestinal tract, liver, hormonal and psychological levels. At the same time, you should cleanse the skin of impurities that can lead to abscesses and relieve inflammation.
For cleansing, special foams, tonics are used, masks and peelings are made. Inflammation can be relieved by local means. One of the high-quality products that can easily and quickly cope with this is Seracin cream from the Libriderm brand.
It requires an integrated approach to treatment.
How it works
Libriderm acne cream "Seracin" works in 2 stages:
- First, salicylic acid penetrates the sebum, exfoliating the upper keratinized skin cells that have accumulated inside the sebaceous glands and clogged them.
- Then components that have an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect enter the open pores. Zinc and sulfur, which are part of this drug, have such properties.

Indications during pregnancy
During pregnancy and lactation, a woman's hormonal levels change. This process can either improve the condition of the skin or worsen it by increasing the level of sebum secretion, which will lead to excessive clogging of pores and, as a result, the appearance of pimples and acne.
But during this period, mothers also want to look beautiful and feminine, to have flawless and glowing skin.
The use of internal medications that can treat rashes can harm the fetus and negatively affect the quality of breast milk. But external remedies are much safer. These include Seracin Libriderm acne cream.
Its use does not harm the woman’s hormonal system and the fetus. Half-life products are completely absent and, accordingly, their passage into breast milk is excluded.
The only thing is that since a pregnant and lactating woman needs a special approach, it is recommended to consult your doctor about applying the cream.

For oily, acne-prone skin, it is recommended to use special medicated cosmetics.
Concealing cosmetics are designed to effectively hide the imperfections of oily skin, but without clogging the sebaceous glands. CC cream from the Libriderm company belongs to a new direction in cosmetics, masks imperfections, corrects sebum secretion, moisturizes the skin, and reduces redness.

Side effects
No obvious side effects were found when testing the drug. But there may be consequences after long-term use of Seracin mattifying cream.
They are as follows:
- overdrying of the dermis;
- peeling. This may occur due to lack of hydration. Since the composition contains zinc and sulfur, which are aimed at drying boils;
- minor allergic reaction to components. It can occur due to personal intolerance and manifest itself in the form of a small rash in the area of the nasolabial folds. If such symptoms appear, it is recommended to immediately stop using the cream and consult a doctor.
Cautions
Since the cream contains zinc and sulfur, it should not be applied to the area under the eyes. This can worsen the condition of the skin in these places, which is much thinner. Also, do not overuse the product and apply it more often than 2 times a day.
The mattifying effect is good for oily dermis, but too frequent and excessive control of the sebaceous glands can disrupt their natural functioning and destabilize the amount of sebum secreted.
Representatives of Seracin Libriderm
Let's take a closer look at each of the products presented in the set. The first to be announced is a cleansing gel.
Cleansing gel
The wash is intended for the care of oily or combination skin with inflammatory elements and a predisposition to rashes. Libriderm Seratsin gel, despite the fact that it is based on water, does not dry out the epidermis, but thanks to sulfur and zinc it regulates the production of sebum and works as an antiseptic. When used mixed-type and applied to dry areas, it also does not have a drying effect. Works great on the oily T-zone, mattifying it.
Main functions of the gel:
- cleaning from surface contaminants;
- removal of decorative cosmetics;
- regulation of sebum production;
- preparation for the next stage of care for problem skin.
It is easy to use Libriderm Seracin gel for washing. Twice a day (morning and evening), lather a small amount of product in your palms, apply to damp skin, massage in circular motions, and rinse with warm water. The face area should be carefully blotted with a napkin or towel.
Cleansing lotion
Lotion-Seracin is the next step in the Librederm line - cleansing. Designed for deep detox. The lotion removes the remnants of the previous product and prepares the face for moisturizing. Unlike toner, which is more suitable for normal, dry skin, lotion works better for oily skin types. The composition of the product is dominated by finger lime extract, rich in AHA acids, which carefully removes dead skin flakes. The hydrophilic sulfur then actively fights bacteria. Zinc salts complete the process - they disinfect and mattify the dermis.
Results from use:
- The lotion gently but deeply cleanses.
- Exfoliates dead cells.
- Eliminates open comedones (“black” spots).
- Calms.
- Refreshes, gives a subtle herbal aroma.
The use of the product is reduced to applying to a cotton pad and wiping the face on problem areas, oily skin in general after washing with foam, gel or hydrophilic oil. Relevant for use on the neck, décolleté and back.
Cleansing cream with eco granules
Libriderm Seracin cream is designed to gently cleanse the dermis. Due to the crushed leaves of the tea tree, which itself is a popular participant in medicinal compositions, the epidermis is not injured. Dry grass not only acts as an abrasive, but also provides a therapeutic compression effect. Another ingredient in the scrub cream is eco-silicon dioxide granules that ensure blood flow during massaging. Surprisingly, this element can be seen on the surface of sandpaper, but unlike the latter, silica granules are biodegradable. The cream scrub is enriched with vitamin E.
For a therapeutic effect and gentle care, do not rub the skin forcefully. It is recommended to massage for 1 minute, then rinse with warm water. Use 1-2 times a week. When used, the scrub gives a slight cooling sensation, like contact with menthol. The result is breathable, clean dermis without a “burning” effect. There is no dryness or tightness.
Mask
The Seracin anti-acne series is complemented by a product that is also based on natural ingredients. White and green clay has long been known for its effectiveness against acne and the treatment of epidermal defects.
White clay is rich in zinc, silicon, manganese and helps solve the problem of dirty pores. In addition, it nourishes, removes toxins, destroys pathogenic microorganisms, and promotes rapid restoration of the epidermis. White clay, due to its neutral properties, is suitable for any skin.
Green is a source of calcium, selenium, phosphorus, zinc, silver, iron, which is why it has such an unusual color. Acts as an anti-inflammatory and decongestant element; regulates the production of sebaceous glands and maintains water-lipid balance. Its use is most effective for oily, combination skin with rashes. Suitable for dermis with signs of aging. The combination of 2 types of clays makes the mask universal, suitable for all age categories. Individual analogues of the composition are not able to give such an effect even when mixed.
The mask is prepared from clay powder and warm water in equal proportions. Bring to a homogeneous consistency. Apply to the entire face, including the area around the eyes.
As it dries on your face, the mixture becomes like plasticine, so removing the mask will not be difficult.
Result from use:
- improved color;
- smooth facial relief;
- invisible pores;
- velvety texture of the epidermis.
Before using the mask, the face must be prepared, cleansed with gel and lotion. The duration of the procedure is up to 30 minutes. Upon completion, you need to apply a moisturizer for oily or problem skin.
The sebum regulating product package contains 5 packets. 1 package is used per session. Detailed instructions for use are included in the package. The manufacturer lists a slight burning sensation as a side effect, which goes away over time.
In addition to the “Cleansing” course, the Librederm brand produces additional products for problematic and oily skin:
- mattifying day cream to correct the functioning of the sebaceous glands;
- active cream for spot application to problem areas or elements;
- moisturizing CC cream;
- concealer pencil with a drying effect.
The Librederm company is a recognized leader in medicinal cosmetics on the Russian market, which quietly competes with French manufacturers. She carefully studies the problems of caring for the epidermis and develops adequate programs, one of which is Seracin for problem skin prone to rashes.
