Having tried a huge amount of “elite” and very expensive cosmetics and having not achieved results, many pay attention to the Gerontol cream. You can ask your mom or acquaintances for feedback about it, for sure someone has heard or used. But do not forget that we are all different, and therefore what suits others is not necessarily to your liking. Before applying any new product on the face, do not forget to check the reaction on the bend of the elbow.

The factory (cosmetics has not been manufactured in it since 1843) is the oldest in Russia, it has undergone a number of modernizations, but the priority remains the same: use only natural ingredients, without dyes and preservatives. We will consider the main brands so that you have an idea about them.
Creams for dry skin

Oily skin creams

In addition, the cream should not contain alcohol and provoke the activity of the sebaceous glands. All this is taken into account in products manufactured under the Freedom brand. The factory, whose cosmetics are being sold out in no time, is definitely worth something. Usually, having stumbled upon this cream in the store, women acquire several tubes at once, so it often turns out that he just arrived and he is already gone. We are talking about the light and clear gel "Krasiva". The complex of vitamins and minerals normalizes metabolic processes and maintains the natural moisture balance in the skin, softens and tones.
The second product in this series is Natasha Cream. It softens and moisturizes the skin well and is an excellent makeup base. Due to its composition, it removes oily sheen and makes the skin dull.
For normal to combination skin
Creams of the factory "Freedom" differ exclusively in natural compositions. Therefore, they are suitable even for owners of complex, hypersensitive and allergic skin. For normal skin, Krasiva products can be recommended. We already described daytime, and nighttime has more pronounced regenerating and restorative effects. Indeed, it is at this time of day that the metabolic processes in the skin cells proceed most intensively.
All creams of the “Liberty” factory of the “Velvet” series can also be attributed to this. There are 5 types of them:
- Moisturizing daylight with aloe vera and d-panthenol.
- Moisturizing night.
- Day rejuvenating with grape extract and vitamin E.

Creams for sensitive skin
This includes the entire children's series, which can be used by adults, if their skin does not accept other means. But there is also a special product from the Krasiva series, this is a daily moisturizer for sensitive skin. It quickly calms, relieves irritation and creates a feeling of comfort. In addition, it helps smooth wrinkles and improves skin elasticity, protects against the negative effects of ultraviolet rays.
But, despite all the advantages of other products, the Herontol cream is the sales leader. Feedback from any of your friends who use this product will sound approximately the same. At first, no one believes that cheap and unadvertised products can have a good effect, then they decide to try, because the losses are small, and then they begin to tell everyone around him. Further we will consider in more detail what properties this cream has.
Cream "Gerontol", the composition and properties of the components
The first opinion about the product we can make by looking at the label. The manufacturer is obliged to detail what is included in its composition. It indicates: orotic acid, vegetable oil, mink fat and natural, active ingredients. Not particularly informative, let's take a closer look at why each of these components is included.
Orotic acid is a substance akin to vitamins, but is able to be absorbed through the skin. It improves metabolic processes in the skin and actively fights skin aging. But she can’t cope alone, so vegetable oils are connected. In particular, olive oil, known for its antioxidant properties, is used. It perfectly copes with dryness and peeling, and promotes speedy regeneration.
Nutrition, softening and protection provides mink fat. This product, despite its density, is quickly absorbed and does not leave a sticky film. It is similar to the lipid layer of the epidermis, and therefore is hypoallergenic. Additional, auxiliary substances are beeswax and lanolin. They have healing properties, quickly relieve irritation, inflammation, heal small cracks and wounds.
All these components are not in vain assembled in one complex. It is together that they complement each other and provide maximum efficiency. And this, in turn, explains why the Gerontol cream of the Liberty factory acquired such popularity. Reviews confirm that it easily replaces the nourishing mask if applied in a thin layer and is well suited for daily use. After its application, the skin becomes soft and smooth, a healthy glow appears.
Mode of application
Depending on the needs of the skin, you can use it once or twice a day. Beauticians usually recommend applying it 2 times a day, morning and evening. Do not forget about comprehensive care, before that you need to cleanse the skin using milk or foam. The skin of all is different, so the results may vary. Someone may need to get their face wet with a napkin 20 minutes after the Gerontol cream has been applied. A review left by one person does not always reflect the full picture, so it is better to consult a specialist before buying.
Summer, UV protection
The hot sun beckons us to go to the beach, but there is a threat here. High temperature and direct sunlight greatly dehydrate and damage the skin, so it definitely needs nutrition. You can take the Gerontol cream of the Freedom factory with you to the beach. Reviews suggest that it can be applied not only to the face, but also to the arms and legs. Fortunately, the cost of funds allows this. And the skin will be protected. But there are other reviews, women are not advised to use this cream in the summer (especially in extreme heat), as a basis for makeup, when you go to work. It is thick, fat, and since you are at work all day, unable to wash, this can lead to clogged pores, inflammation and irritation. For everyday work, it is better to choose a light, moisturizing cream.
Options for using cream in the summer
If your skin is oily and it’s hot outside, it’s like you should not use Gerontol cream. Reviews of cosmetologists convince us of this, saying that nutrition is necessary for any type of skin, regardless of the time of year. In this regard, another use of the cream is proposed. Steam your face with a home inhaler, or just take a hot shower. On moist skin, apply cream and leave for an hour. Now you can rinse off the residue with warm water.
The cold season is a difficult test for the skin
Winter is a time of cold weather, burning the winds and snow. This is a strong stress for the skin, so before leaving the house you need to apply a protective layer. Remember the northern peoples, from time immemorial, they have smeared the face with animal fat to protect it from frost. A similar mechanism works when applying Gerontol cream. Reviews of cosmetologists confirm that it is in winter that nutritious creams are needed. They prevent irritation, redness and peeling of the skin, and hence the deepening of fine wrinkles. This is especially true for those women who have thin, delicate and sensitive skin, prone to dryness.
Rejuvenating apple, or all about the anti-aging effect
Even the name suggests that this tool is designed for women aged. Gerontology is, as you know, a science that studies old age. What can a regular cream help to push back or smooth out age-related processes? With age, the skin becomes thinner and drier. Yes, you yourself saw, in older people it becomes like parchment. This leads to the formation of fine expression lines, and then deep wrinkles. Therefore, starting from 30 years old, it is necessary to use products that are able to nourish the skin and at the same time reduce wrinkles. For this, there is cosmetics “Freedom”. The reviews confirm that Gerontol really nourishes the skin and smoothes wrinkles, making them less noticeable.
Production cost
The factory “Freedom” produces very affordable cosmetics that are not too burdensome for any budget. However, they are very effective, because you want to look great no matter how much you earn. Among the advertised brands there are many products recommended for dry skin that can be used in winter to protect against frost. For example, you can cite the brand "BIODROGA", the cost of the cream is about 2000 rubles, while you can buy "Gerontol" for 40.
Many buyers have tried to test this tool, after the usual, expensive creams. Everyone was surprised that the result is exactly the same, and the savings are an impressive amount. Quality is not always dependent on price; this is once again confirmed by the Freedom factory. "Gerantol" is able to replace not only winter face cream, but also significantly improve the condition of the skin of your legs, significantly soften corns on the heels. In addition, he will take care of the skin of his hands every day, which often gets the most.
Useful Tips
By trial and error, many women have already chosen for themselves various options for using this tool, which allows you to get the maximum benefit and reduce unwanted effects. We bring to your attention this selection so that you can evaluate how good a product has come into your hands.
- The first difficulty is the use of the product as a basis for makeup. Difficulty with the application, excessive density and fat content. It remains to get up early and apply the cream like a mask. Leave it on your skin for about 30-60 minutes while you have breakfast. After that, rinse your skin with warm water and pat it dry with a towel. Your skin is ready for applying makeup, it is even and smooth, foundation and powder will fall on it perfectly.
- If you are going to use the cream as a mask, then do not forget about the neckline. In addition, you can add a drop of jojoba oil, vitamin A or E. This will provide additional nutrition and normalize the processes in the skin.
- To apply it easier, you can not only moisten the skin, but also pre-rub the cream in the palms of your hands.
- Rough heels and dry, flaky hands, how to help them? Lightly, apply a thick layer of cream and put on cotton gloves (socks) for the night. Such a mask will be very useful for the skin, and from small cracks there will not be a trace.
Consumer Reviews
Despite the obvious pluses and high effectiveness of the tool, as we mentioned above, it has a number of minuses. First of all, it's the smell. Someone likes, but repels many. Therefore, again we have to return to expensive creams that are completely devoid of aroma or vice versa, have a perfume composition. The second minus is its dense consistency. Distributing a thin layer on the skin can be difficult. This deficiency is easily corrected if you use the product after a shower and apply it on wet skin. And finally, the likelihood of an allergic reaction if there is an individual intolerance to the components.
As you can see, it is not so easy to choose a cream for a woman. There are many subtleties to consider. Cream factory "Freedom" "Gerontol" has a lot of advantages and has an attractive price. If he came up to you, you can rejoice, you will no longer have to spend a lot of money on cosmetics, and you will always look wonderful. Such a budgetary tool has a pronounced lifting effect, and with regular use it can achieve amazing results. The effect will be especially good if, at the same time, the consumption of fatty and unhealthy foods, alcohol, and smoking is minimized. This will help to establish metabolic processes within the body, which also affects the condition of the skin. Do not forget to drink clean water, dehydration primarily affects this fragile organ. Her intake should exceed 2 liters per day. And finally - go in for sports.
