Cream for vitiligo

Devitil ensures an effective and fast pigmentation of the skin’s discoloured areas due to the simultaneous action of its three active ingredients (dihydroxyacetone, phenylalanine and tyrosine), which act in a different way (temporally and spatially) for the restoration of the problem.

Composition:
Dihydroxyacetone, after being converted to an aldehyde isomer, reacts with amino groups of free amino acids or amino acids easily detachable from the keratin, which results in the reconstruction of the carbonate skeleton and the final formation of melanoidines. Melanoidines are limited superficially to the stratum corneum, do not penetrate in depth and colour the skin regardless of melanin. The above mentioned metabolic process is very brief and the result is obviius 2 hours after the application of the formulation, which lasts up to 11 days after the end of the application. The effect of dihydroxyacetone is concluded with the stimulation of the melanization, which is brought by the use of phenylalanine (Phe) and tyrosine (Tyr). The simultaneous action of these three substances ensures the most immediate and long-lasting pigmentation of the discoloured areas of the skin, while inhibiting at the same time their spread.

Packaging:
Available in carton packaging with two tubes (25gr + 25gr) and a spatula for mixing.

Instructions of use:
1. Devitil packaging contains two tubes, one white (tube A) and one red (tube B). The content of the white tube enables the attainment of an immediate skin pigmentation, while the components of the red tube help restoring in the long term the physical appearance of the discoloured areas.
2. Before each application, place the same amount of cream from both tubes in a small vessel. The amount will depend on the surface of the area you are going to cover. Mix the creams by using the spatula until you get a homogeneous mixture.
3. The pigmentation of the discoloured areas is immediate and lasts for 8-12 days. The colour may differ from the colour of the normal skin. This depends on the individual reaction (each skin type and area responds differently), the amount of product and the frequency of its applications.
4. Generally, it is recommended to apply the product every other day and for a period of 2 to 4 weeks. According to the result, you will determine the frequency of applications.
5. If a darker shade than your natural skin shade occurs, reduce the amount of the white tube cream. If the pigmentation of the discoloured skin areas is insufficient, increase the amount of the white tube cream.
6. Before each application, you wash thoroughly the discoloured skin areas.
7. The applications should only be done on discoloured areas. To avoid any contact with the normal skin, start from the center of the spot spreading, then, the product on the way out with your finger or a cotton swab, but without going over the edges of the spot. In some cases of small spots, a cosmetic brush could also be useful.
8. Do not apply excessive quantity of the product, because its spreading and absorption will become more difficult. Generally, it is sufficient to apply a thin and uniform layer of the product and gently massage the area until its absorption.
9. Right after the application of the product, wash thoroughly the finger that you used with soap and water and clean the vessel in the same way.
10. If you have spots in non-visible areas, we recommend that you start the application from there. In this way, you will notice your individual reaction to the product and you will be familiar with its use before applying it on the visible areas.
11. To increase efficiency, you can sunbathe (30 to 60 minutes), but this should be done at least 30 minutes after each application. If you sunbathe more time or the sun is intense, you should consider the need of a photoprotective product (sun block) since the hypopigmented areas have fewer defenses against sunlight.
12. The spots, where the skin is thin, need more time to be coloured. On the contrary, in areas where the skin is thicker (hands, feet) the result is faster.

Storage:
Keep the product in a cool and dry place. Keep out of reach of children.
