Frequently Asked Questions.
What is Pyratine®?
Pyratine® products contain the active, furfuryl tetrahydropyranyl adenine/kinetin, a plant growth factor (cytokinin by classification) and a nature identical ingredient found in living plants that has been successfully tested in humans for the amelioration of aging and photodamaged skin and the treatment of inflammatory skin conditions such as rosacea, inflammatory acne, burns, etc.
How do I use Pyratine®?
Pyratine® is available without prescription. Controlled clinical trials at major medical centers were conducted with twice daily applications. Pyratine® formulations are designed to absorb quickly in order to deliver the active efficiently and quickly; makeup can be applied directly over Pyratine®.
Are there any tips for selecting and applying Pyratine®?
PyratineA1® crème formulation is a soft crème, esthetically pleasing, spreads evenly and absorbs quickly making it ideal for all skin types and for use at all times. PyratineXR® Crème contains the highest concentration of the Pyratine® Active and has been clinically proven in the treatment of inflammatory skin conditions. The ointment is ideal for those stubborn red blotches and has been shown to accelerate the healing process; the ointment is used by dermatologists to alleviate scarring from procedures such as Mohs surgery, laser treatments and for burns.
Do you recommend any particular treatment regimen?
Yes, use the Pyratine® cleanser to clean the skin, this formulation has been specifically designed for sensitive skin and contains rich ingredients such as green tea extract and most importantly, the active Pyratine® treatment molecule. Then apply either PyratineA1® Soft Crème or PyratineXR® Crème twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening. (The ointment is ideal for intense treatment of spots and burns.)
When can I expect results?
You will be pleased to know that you will see healthier looking skin by the end of week one. The standard for an anti-redness treatment product to show results normally takes a great deal of time, about 4 weeks. Pyratine® is more rapid acting and you should see significant reduction in redness in week three.
Do I need to use a moisturizer with Pyratine®?
No, Pyratine® is a proven, powerful Moisturizer which helps repair the skin barrier function. This is a key advantage of Pyratine® as one only needs to use a single product to achieve much needed moisturization, reduction of erythema (redness), inflammatory lesions and anti-aging benefits.
Why is Pyratine® so expensive?
Pyratine® is many products in one. Pyratine® contains a redness treatment product, a moisturizer, and a strong anti-oxidant to soothe, heal, and improve the look of your skin as well as protection against the harmful UVC rays from the sun. Pyratine® is all these products in a single tube.
You no longer need to subject your skin to 50 or more chemical ingredients when you do using multiple products – you already have compromised skin.
What are the side effects of Pyratine®?
Pyratine® is virtually side effect free; in fact in one controlled clinical trials for a period of 48 weeks duration, there were virtually no side effects reported and when they were, they were transient and disappeared with continuous use. Please note that Pyratine® has been shown to accelerate the healing process for burns (such as those from contact with stovetops and steam, as well as sunburn), bruising after botox injection, invasive procedures such as dermabrasion, and laser surgery.
How safe is Pyratine®?
Pyratine® has undergone Human Chromosome Aberration Testing, Ames Mutagenicity Testing, Eye Sensitivity Testing and more to ensure safety. Pyratine LLC, the discoverers of furfuryl tetrahydropyranyl adenine/kinetin, the active, subjects all of their molecules to the very same stringent FDA prescription pharmaceutical toxicology and safety standards. The majority of other over-the-counter skincare products on the market are minimally tested, or not tested at all.
