What brand
A French company called Lierac has been successfully operating since 1975. Interestingly, the brand name is the reverse form of the name of its creator. And the founder of the cosmetics company “Lierak” was called Leon Cariel. This man was a doctor. Then the trading company was sold to the owner of the Phyto hair care cosmetics. The name of the new owner is Patrick Ayles. It was he who led the brand to popularity. And all thanks to the use of plant components and biotechnology.
The company's specialization is working with the most unpleasant and common problems. "Lierak" - from stretch marks on the body, cellulite, dark circles under the eyes, wrinkles and sun protection. The company produces a lot of face and body care products for both women and men. The company collaborates with French research centers. This helps to develop, constantly make useful discoveries and improve product quality.
Why stretch marks appear and what to do about it
These "guests" are declared unexpectedly, shocking their owner. The causes of stretch marks are many, these are:
- sudden weight gain or loss;
- hormonal "changes" in the body;
- consequences of surgery;
- pregnancy;
- diabetes;
- disorders of the pancreas;
- medication (glucocorticoids group);
- hereditary predisposition.
Interestingly, this problem is not originally feminine. Men can also become victims of this scourge. Striae can have a different color. It will help determine the degree of damage to the epidermis:
- Pink striae arise at the very beginning. This is due to a rupture of the upper skin tissue. Fresh scars can still be saved.
- The purple color of the striae indicates the aging of damaged tissues. It will be harder to remove from than pink ones. But the chance to eliminate the defect is still large enough.
- The blue color of the resulting stretch marks becomes after 4 months. If no action is taken up to this point, then creams alone will not be able to cope with this problem.
- White scars from stretch marks are not amenable to cosmetic products. Such striae are usually more than 8 months old. In this case, only the intervention of a cosmetologist will help.
Given these factors, it must be understood that not all cosmetics can restore the former appearance to the affected areas of the skin. “Lierak” works for stretch marks in the first two cases. As a rule, it is better to prevent than to correct complex defects. This will save time, money and will not let self-esteem drop.

Ampoules and gel have virtually identical composition. The difference is only a percentage. In ampoules, the active substances are more concentrated - 84%, and in the gel only 35%.
Active components of the product are:
- Horsetail. An extract from this plant helps to improve blood microcirculation in the area of application of the product. Thus, the production of natural collagen is enhanced.
- The cuff is ordinary. This plant accelerates regenerative processes in the skin cells.
- Ivy extract. An effective remedy for the protection and rapid regeneration of the epithelium.

Application rules
The effectiveness of the tool primarily depends on compliance with the rules of use. To prevent and prevent the occurrence, as well as in the early stages of the development of the problem, you can use Lierak gel cream for stretch marks. It is enough to apply it once a day to areas of the body undergoing changes. And this is the chest, hips, buttocks and abdomen. Having alternately treated each area of the skin, it is necessary to conduct a light “finger” massage. For pregnant women, the use of the drug is recommended from the third month of gestation until delivery. Or use the product until the weight stops “jumping”.
To cope with the striae that have already manifested in all their glory, you will need to use Lierak ampoules from stretch marks. The course of use is 8 weeks. Apply the contents of one ampoule daily to the problem area - morning and evening. To do this, it is necessary to place the opened ampoule in a special dispenser and spray it on the affected areas of the skin. If there are few stretch marks on the body, then one dose can be divided into two doses. Only use it is necessary on the same day.
How it works
Undoubtedly, the question arises of how this complex works. As is already known, ampoules and gel contain an active phytocomplex. Upon contact with the skin, active substances penetrate into its deep layers. They contribute to its regeneration and collagen production. It is worth knowing that stretch marks appear when the load for the epidermis becomes excessive. The action of the complex is aimed at supporting and restoring the tissues of the epithelium in critical periods when the skin itself does not have time to cope with the load.
