• All Lactacid products contain lactic acid, which helps maintain the natural acidic environment of the genitals. This promotes the growth of lactobacilli and strengthens the body's defenses.

The results were obtained as follows: 97% of volunteers immediately felt relief, got rid of unbearable itching, and 84% eliminated burning sensation in the genitals.

The pH acidity of the composition, developed by scientists, is 8. This is an ideal alkaline environment that suppresses and prevents the development of Candida fungi, which are the main culprits of thrush.

Lactacid for irritation and redness

Daily use of gynecological pads or their use during menstruation, uncomfortable or unnatural underwear, frequent shaving of the bikini line can cause burning, itching and the appearance of microcracks. A complex of medicinal herbs (blue daisy and aloe vera), included in LACTACYD PHARMA SOOTHING, will soothe the burning sensation, relieve redness, and the increased content of lactic acid quickly normalizes the pH. This remedy is used together with medications for diseases of the genitourinary system.

Lactacyd Moisturizing

This is a moisturizing gel that eliminates the feeling of dryness and softens the skin and mucous membranes of the genitals. Besides natural lactic acid, it also contains lotus flower extract. Its light and unobtrusive floral aroma is highly appreciated by all gentle and romantic ladies.

Dry skin and mucous membranes of the genitals can be caused by too frequent washing with alkaline detergents. Another common reason is age-related changes. This is a common occurrence in women after menopause. Dryness is always accompanied by discomfort; itching and even small cracks may appear on the surface of the mucous membranes.

Lotus extract in Lactacid moisturizing helps eliminate all problems associated with dryness. At the same time, lactic acid stimulates the restoration and growth of beneficial microflora. If you are prone to dryness, it is recommended to use this product during each wash.

For dryness

Over-drying with incorrectly selected personal hygiene products leads to skin breakdown and discomfort. The company's specialists have created the Lactacid series for moisturizing in two versions. The first contains lotus flower extract, which cleanses, moisturizes and makes the skin elastic, has a light aroma, and is intended for girls with dry skin. The second includes a special L2G complex that nourishes and restores the hydrolipid layer at the molecular level. Recommended for women 50+, during menopause, sold only in pharmacies.

Composition of Epigen gel

The active ingredient of this gel is activated glycyrrhizic acid. It is obtained by extraction from licorice root. It has antiviral, anti-inflammatory, immunostimulating, antipruritic and regenerating effects.

Both RNA and DNA containing viruses are sensitive to glycyrrhizic acid (in particular, herpes simplex types 1 and 2, herpes zoster, human papillomavirus, cytomegalovirus and others). It initiates the synthesis of interferon. The action of the acid is aimed at interrupting the reproduction of viruses in the first stages, preventing the penetration of viruses into the cell.

The anti-inflammatory effect is based on the ability to stimulate intracellular immune factors and blood elements. The release of kinins and the formation of prostaglandins in the area of ​​inflammation decreases. The regenerating effect is to increase the reparative abilities of the skin and mucous membranes.

The immunostimulating effect is that when using this drug, the number of lymphocytes increases, the content of immunoglobulin G decreases and the content of immunoglobulins A and M increases.

Additional components: water, folic acid, maleic and fumaric acids, vitamin C, propylene glycol.

For vaginal candidiasis

Yeast infection (vaginal candidiasis) means that there is an abnormal amount of candida (a yeast-like fungus) present in the vagina. Although this infection is common and easy to treat, it is very inconvenient. Symptoms of thrush include a thick white sticky discharge, but unlike bacterial vaginosis, it has no odor. Most experience vaginal itching, pain, and burning during urination or sexual intercourse. Lactacyd Pharma Extra – has an increased pH=8, contains a complex of calendula, vitamin E, bisabolol (a component of chamomile essential oil). They enhance the effect of each other, work as antiseptics, disinfect, regenerate and soothe the skin.

Lactacyd Pharma

This Lactacid gel is enriched with thyme extract and special antibacterial components. This detergent is designed to enhance antibacterial protection of a woman’s intimate areas. It can be used daily to prevent bacterial infections or during treatment to enhance the effect of therapy. It is useful to use this gel during menstruation and pregnancy, when the likelihood of developing infections increases.

Unlike most antibacterial agents, Lactacid Pharma does not kill the natural microflora of the genital organs, but, on the contrary, stimulates its development by optimizing the pH level. The addition of natural lactic acid helps achieve this.

Thyme extract is not the strongest antiseptic, but it has a very gentle effect without irritating the skin. It prevents the development of bacterial infections and gives Lactacid Pharma gel a delicate summer herbal aroma. Using this product gives freshness and protection for 24 hours.

For shaving

Every girl or woman strives to keep the skin in intimate places smooth and soft, so the depilation procedure is familiar to everyone. Some people only need to shave once a week, while others have to do it every day. From everyday mechanical intervention, it becomes rougher, and irritation appears in the form of pimples. For this case, the company presents LACTACYD SHAVE, with almond and shea butter. They will make shaving easier by softening and moisturizing the skin, and will take care of relieving irritation.

Use for thrush

It’s worth saying right away that a gel or mousse will not be able to cure you of thrush in the acute stage. But their use against the background of the disease will create favorable conditions for a speedy recovery. However, the main treatment of the disease is carried out using antimycotic ointment, cream or suppositories. The use of this hygiene product during illness will help smooth out the symptoms of the disease and eliminate discomfort from burning and itching.

Those who are prone to frequent relapses of thrush use this drug for preventive purposes. Its use is especially indicated during menstruation, when the acidity of the vagina changes. It is also useful to use during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Lactacid will be no less effective after playing sports or visiting the pool.
