What's it for | How I used it
The manufacturer says this balm is for:
Sometimes in life, you need to do an express therapy for your skin. It's essential to have quality products for this in your first-aid kit. Green Pharm Cosmetic is a great option. This balm can help with first-degree burns, dermatitis, skin irritations of any intensity and origin, xerosis, cracks on the skin surface, and bedsores.
I used it to protect my skin during radiation therapy. I was expecting to get treated on a new linear accelerator, but it was still under repair. My radiologist recommended this balm as a cheap and effective option. He said other docs prescribe creams that cost over 300 UAH, but this one is just as good.
I asked my husband to look for it in nearby pharmacies, but he couldn't find it anywhere. The doc told me I could buy it directly from him in the radiology department for 150 UAH. I was thrilled to have found it.
My sister searched for it all over the city, but she only found it in one pharmacy. We bought it there for 120 UAH. You can also buy it online, but you'd have to order it in advance.
Packaging | Appearance
The packaging is a white cardboard box with red and green text. The design has changed, so if you remember the old packaging, this one might look different.
The product name and logo are embossed. While it's not necessary, it's nice when the packaging looks appealing.
The front and back of the box are identical, except for the language. One side is in Russian, and the other is in Ukrainian.
The side panels have all the necessary info, including the product description, usage instructions, ingredients, shelf life, storage conditions, and manufacturer info.
The top and bottom of the box simply state the product name and volume.
The balm comes in a soft plastic tube.
The info on it duplicates the info on the box.
The expiration date is on the sealed end of the tube.
The balm opens by unscrewing the plastic cap.
The tube has a protective foil.
🟢Ingredients🟢
The product contains components of natural origin. They increase local immunity. The balm reduces inflammation, eliminates itching, relieves pain, and has a bactericidal effect. The product quickly increases skin elasticity. The balm has passed the necessary dermatological tests and does not contain dyes and fragrances.
I love that the ingredients are natural.
One thing that does bother me is that the ingredients listed on many websites are different from what's on the box.
Let's compare. On one of the most popular cosmetics websites in Ukraine, the ingredients look like this:
SO2 extracts of chamomile, plantain, dandelion, rapeseed oil, tamana oil, black thyme oil.
And on the box of the balm, it's listed as:
It's a small difference, but it's there.
🟢 Consistency🟢Absorption🟢
I thought a product called a balm would look a bit different. This one is more like a cream, and it's only when you apply it that you realize it's a balm.
It's white, thick, but also soft and gentle.
It's incredibly economical to use. One tube lasted me two months of daily, twice-daily use on a pretty large area of skin.
When you touch it to your skin, it melts and spreads easily.
It absorbs instantly. The photo is of my hand right after applying it.
Even after five minutes, you can barely tell that you applied anything to your skin.
The smell of this balm is absolutely disgusting. It smells like some kind of medicinal ointment. The scent is hard to describe, but it's unpleasant and stays on your skin for a while.It doesn't leave a greasy residue. I thought the clothes that came into contact with the areas where I used the balm would get stained, but that didn't happen.
Using it for radiation therapy and healing a scar from surgery
According to the instructions, you need to apply the balm to clean skin in the morning and evening.
For radiation therapy, there's a specific schedule.
In the morning, after the procedure, you need to apply a thick layer of balm to the irradiated skin areas.
In the evening, before bed, repeat the procedure.
In the morning, before the procedure, wash the skin areas where you applied the product the night before.
I had a laparotomy a month before the radiation therapy, and the scar was in the area that was exposed to radiation, so my doc told me to use it. Plus, according to the doc, it would help with the skin healing process in the area of the scar.
Effect of using it
I used the balm as my doc instructed, twice a day. They were irradiating the area around my lower back and buttocks. I applied the balm to my lower back, upper buttocks, lower abdomen, and upper pubic area.
By the end of the treatment, I realized I wasn't applying it everywhere, and the irradiated area was bigger. I found out because the skin in that area turned darker and started peeling. Where I used it more liberally, the skin just darkened a bit, but I didn't get any burns.
My doc told me to use it again to heal the area, and it eventually healed.
I've seen the skin of girls who didn't use any protection, and it's terrifying. So, don't underestimate the importance of protective measures.
Now, let's take a look at how my post-operative scar changed over time while using the healing balm. The top two photos are from the first day of radiation therapy. The bottom photo is my scar today, after three months of using the balm, twice a day.
The balm does a great job of reducing the itchiness that often occurs during the healing process.
My personal opinion
I highly recommend balm 911 as an excellent product for protecting the skin during radiation therapy and healing post-operative scars.
Now, it's a permanent fixture in my home. I'm not afraid to use it on my kids.
