From the very beginning, Skintegra has offered specific and carefully formulated solutions for numerous skin conditions. For us pharmacists, these products are a reliable "tool" in our daily consultations with patients. On this occasion, I would like to highlight my top 5 favorite Skintegra products - says Marija Canjuga from Joukhadar Pharmacy . 
1. Skintegra Clarion 2% BHA Cleanser
A cleansing gel with 2% salicylic acid and zinc that is the perfect treatment for one of the most common problems of pharmacy patients – oily skin prone to texture, acne and blackheads.
Salicylic acid has a micro-exfoliating effect , removes excess sebum and unclogs pores, while zinc has an anti-inflammatory and soothing effect. In addition to these, the composition also contains active substances that ensure faster skin recovery and improve its appearance. In addition to the face, the gel can also be used on other affected parts of the body, such as the back and décolleté.
2. Skintegra Retiron 0.05
Patients often seek advice on anti-aging care. Retinal , whose metabolite is retinoic acid, has clinically proven effectiveness – reducing wrinkle depth, improving skin elasticity and evens out complexion.
Skintegrina emulsion with 0.05% retinal is the ideal start of anti-aging care. It contains an encapsulated form of retinal that is activated only in contact with the skin, which reduces the risk of irritation and preserves its effectiveness. In addition to retinal , it also contains niacinamide , essential ceramides , antioxidants, panthenol and madecasoside , which additionally reduce the irritating potential and help restore the skin's barrier function.
For more experienced users, stronger forms are also available: Retiron 0.1 and Retiron 0.2.
3. Skintegra Spectra
Sensitive skin has one definition, but it comes in many forms. It is characterized by a damaged hydrolipidic barrier and reduced skin function. Such skin requires intensive but gentle care without aggressive active ingredients .
Spectra is a neutral emulsion containing shea butter, panthenol , allantoin and vitamin B12 – everything needed for safe and effective regeneration. In addition, powerful antioxidants such as green tea extract, caffeine and resveratrol protect the skin from external stressors. Spectra is suitable for daily use, morning and evening, as it hydrates , soothes and strengthens the skin barrier.
4. Skintegra Hydra B
What if your skin is simply dry? Dry to the point that it feels tight after washing?
Hydra B is a super light serum emulsion for dehydrated skin. Thanks to the low molecular weight Hyaluronic acid in combination with natural ingredients and vitamins B3 and B5, intensely hydrates , does not clog pores and does not leave a greasy film.
For those who need richer hydration, there is also O/P Hydra Cream.
5. Skintegra Solar I SPF30
As awareness of the importance of daily photoprotection grows, so does the need for lightweight, invisible SPF products.
Skintegra Solar I SPF30 is an extremely lightweight daily fluid for the protection of all skin types. It contains safe, photostable organic filters that provide high broad-spectrum UV protection, while antioxidants and humectants (such as vitamin E, betaine and panthenol ) hydrate the skin and protect its barrier function.
For the summer months and more intense sun exposure, Skintegra also offers a stronger version – Solar II SPF50.

I am Marija Canjuga, a master of pharmacy from a small town near Varaždin. My love for chemistry and working with people led me to pharmacy, where I strive to be a reliable support for my patients - both professionally and humanly. I am particularly inspired by the care of problematic skin, and I further deepened this area by completing my specialist studies. When I am not behind a pharmacy recipe, I prefer to spend time with family and friends, in nature on a bike or hiking, or in the peace of home with a good book and drawing supplies.
