What to look for?
Observations have shown that there are some ingredients that are more likely to cause allergies to face cream. This is lanolin, designed to moisturize the skin, tocopherol acetate, which is an antioxidant, and butyloxytoluene. Agents that ensure a long shelf life are considered dangerous: methyl-, propylparaben.
Before you buy a cosmetic product you like, you need to study the list of ingredients used by the manufacturer. If possible, it is recommended to purchase products that do not contain these compounds. The best and least dangerous from the point of view of sensitization reactions are considered to be cosmetic products made with natural substances. The more of them there are, the less danger there is.
Facial allergies in children
Allergy to cosmetics: why it occurs and what to do
Allergic diseases in children are more common than in adults. This is due to the still fragile immune system and a large number of new allergens unfamiliar to the child’s body.
Allergies in children under three years of age
Facial allergies in infants are a very common phenomenon. Most often, this is how food allergies manifest themselves (to cow's milk or complementary foods), or contact allergies (to cosmetics). You can read more about how allergies manifest on the face in newborns here.
Photo: Severe food allergies (milk, eggs) on the face of a baby
Facial allergies in a child between one and three years of age are most often associated with his transition to a general diet. Every month the baby tries new and new foods, begins to realize what is tasty and what is not so good, and that it is possible to refuse one food and get another.
Eating tasty but allergenic food in large quantities (fruits, fruit purees and juices, chicken eggs, cow's milk) leads to the development of allergies, even if there were none initially.
So, Dr. E.O. Komarovsky writes a lot about childhood allergies. In particular, he believes that for the most part it is associated not so much with the hypersensitivity of the immune system, but with overfeeding the child.
Food allergies in young children most often manifest themselves on the face as a finely blistered red-pink rash, often weeping and itchy.
Contact allergies in children most often develop to hygiene products and children's cosmetics, including oils and creams. A separate point is an allergy to washing powder.
Some difficulties arise from the need to distinguish other diseases from allergies. But the question of how to distinguish prickly heat on the face from an allergy is quite simple: prickly heat appears in areas of poor skin hygiene, for example, in the folds of the neck, buttocks, and groin. Heat rash does not occur on exposed areas of the skin, such as the cheeks or forehead.
Allergies in children over three years of age
At this age, children most actively explore the world around them. They “get to know” pets, dusty corners, and understand that they can steal delicious chocolate candy from the table. Allergies to hygiene products occur much less frequently than in infants.
At this age, allergies often appear on the elbows, forearms, and cheeks.
Its symptoms are no different from adults:
- itching;
- sometimes burning;
- peeling of the skin;
- dryness;
- redness;
- appearance of a rash.
Why does an allergic reaction occur?
Having moisturized and glowing skin is the desire of every woman. In order to fulfill this desire, Nivea, Black Pearl, Faberlic and other manufacturers have developed a wide range of products specially adapted for different skin types. However, even to them an allergic reaction occurs.
An allergy to facial cosmetics occurs when the immune system recognizes the chemicals in the composition as harmful. As a result, histamine is released into the blood, which provokes rashes, tissue swelling, etc.
An allergy in an adult to a cream on the face can also occur due to changes in hormonal levels, slow metabolism, weakened immunity, damage to the integrity of the skin due to exposure to high or low temperatures, etc.
As a rule, flavors, dyes, preservatives, ingredients that stimulate cell renewal (glycolic, salicylic, hyaluronic and AHA acids), lanolin, propylene glycol and formaldehyde have a negative effect on the body.
Review of drugs
Streptoderma in children and adults
Remember that the main task is to eliminate the cause of the disease. If the patient's contact with the allergen is not eliminated, all treatment methods will be ineffective. To determine the causative agent of the allergy and rash, you should contact a specialist to undergo the necessary tests, only they will help in making an accurate diagnosis.
In the treatment of allergies on the skin of the face, it is necessary to adhere to an integrated approach, it should consist of:
- medications of various spectrums of action;
- ointments, creams and lotions;
- home therapy;
- diets.
If you are susceptible to allergic manifestations, a doctor must prescribe a course; each case is individual and only he knows what medications are needed, their regimen and duration of administration.
The best articles according to our readers:
1. Antihistamines. This group is specifically intended for the treatment of allergies in adults and children. Their main purpose is to eliminate the effect of histamine, a substance that in a calm state does not cause harm, but due to certain factors is released from special mast cells and causes the symptoms described above. To treat facial allergies, the following may be prescribed:
- Tavegil.
- Suprastin.
- Diazolin.
- Claritin.
- Erius.
- Fenistil.
2. Corticosteroids. These are hormonal medications
Prescribed individually and used with caution. Aimed at rapid removal of histamine from the body by stabilizing cell activity
In allergy therapy, creams for external use are often used. These drugs can be divided into three groups:
Having a weak, short-term effect. These include:
- Hydrocartisone ointment.
- Dipersolone.
Medications of moderate effect:
- Prednisolone.
- Afloderm.
- Deoxymethasone.
Creams for the treatment of allergies with rapid action (in emergency cases):
- Beloderm.
- Celestoderm.
- Flucourt.
- Dermovate.
3. Non-hormonal creams. Basically, treatment with this group of ointments is recommended for mild symptoms, a sluggish process, and for infants in the first three months of life. Their components are less active and more gentle on the body than in hormonal agents, but the result will not be lightning fast. Apply:
- Fenistil.
- D-Panthenol.
- Bepanten.
- Actovegin.
- Eplan.
4. Immunomodulators. Manifestations of allergies on the face are primarily associated with immune failures, therefore, for its comprehensive treatment, it is important to take medications that help strengthen the body’s protective functions. Prescribed:
- Immunal.
- Interferon.
- Viferon.
- Taktivin.
Folk remedies
There are times when urgent help is required to eliminate the clinical picture of a pathology, but the necessary medications for this are not always available, then it is possible to resort to home methods. Even the use of seemingly harmless methods of treating allergies sometimes aggravates the situation. Use folk remedies only after consulting your doctor.
The simplest method for relieving itching and swelling of the face is a lotion with boric acid. Add a teaspoon of acid to a glass of distilled or boiled water, moisten a bandage or gauze with the resulting solution and apply to the face for 10-15 minutes. A similar mixture can be prepared based on herbs. Sage, string or chamomile are considered good anti-inflammatory agents. They also make lotions with celery or carrot juice; they relieve itching and eliminate signs of hives.
For wiping, use tampons soaked in a solution made from 1 g of mumiyo dissolved in 100 g of water; the same procedure is carried out with a decoction of birch leaves or Jerusalem artichoke. Allergies on a child’s face can be relieved by applying a pre-cooked cabbage leaf to the inflamed area overnight, or rubbing it with calendula decoction.
Essential oils are often used for treatment; one of the most effective is based on black cumin; it saturates the body with fatty acids. In addition to it, oils are used in aromatherapy:
- tea tree;
- roses;
- lemon balm;
- lavender;
- bergamot;
- ylang-ylang;
- jasmine
Recommendations from experts
If you take the necessary measures, the allergic reaction goes away quite quickly and does not require additional treatment. If you belong to a group of people susceptible to this pathology, you should be more attentive to your diet and avoid unnecessary contact with possible irritants. Limit your intake of foods:
- milk;
- eggs;
- red vegetables and fruits, especially strawberries, tomatoes, raspberries and wild strawberries;
- nuts;
- chocolate;
- some types of fish.
Cosmetics that cause allergies

The strongest types of allergens can be encountered when using waterproof mascara. The components included in its composition reach the mucous membrane of the eye, leading to immunity.
Women with sensitive dermis should avoid such products, the reason for this is their ingredients, especially beeswax. Choose a mascara where this component is replaced with a herbal analogue.
Serum, masks and cream can cause a similar reaction in the body not only because of the composition, but also due to improper use:
- using a large amount of cosmetics;
- violation of the temporary regime (the composition is kept on the face much longer than necessary);
- components are poorly removed.
Often negative violations are associated with the use of long-term storage of cosmetics. You need to know the following rules:
- blush, powder and shadows are stored for about 3 years;
- lipstick is a year, but lip gloss is only six months;
- cream formulations are allowed to be used for no more than 12 months;
- foundation and mascara 3–6 months;
- biocosmetics have a service life of no more than 90 days.
To prevent a situation where cosmetics become unusable ahead of schedule, they should be stored correctly. When there is a special instruction, place the product in the cold. A cabinet in the bathroom is an absolutely bad choice for storing cosmetics due to temperature changes and high humidity.
Often women experience discomfort due to the wrong choice of decorative cosmetics. Especially often complaints are received about the Mary Kay line of drugs, MASCARA. Before buying this product, you need to study not only its cosmetic composition, but also obtain information about the manufacturer.
It is advisable to read consumer reviews and also consult with a specialist who will help determine skin sensitivity and take into account the characteristics of the patient’s body.
You need to buy only proven products. How to test a cream for allergies? Apply a little of the composition to the forearm area before use, and then monitor the skin reaction. If there is no redness, feel free to use the drug.
Choosing cosmetics and important components of good creams
The main components of safe hypoallergenic creams are natural substances of natural origin that will have a very delicate and gentle effect on sensitive facial skin.
Safe ingredients include the following:
- natural oils;
- panthenol;
- glycerol;
- thermal water;
- plant extracts;
- hyaluronic acid.
Pay special attention not only to the composition of the product, but also to its purpose, as well as for what type of skin this or that product is developed.
Those with delicate sensitive skin should not use aggressive creams with a drying effect in their daily care.
Effective allergy remedies from traditional medicine
Before making a choice in favor of traditional medicine, you should make sure that the disease does not progress and does not “go beyond the bounds of reason” (there are no symptoms that significantly worsen the standard of living and general condition). Otherwise, it is advisable to consult a doctor and use official medications with proven effects.
Also, if you notice any deterioration in your condition after using folk remedies, you should immediately stop self-medication and seek qualified help.
By the way, folk remedies are not a panacea; they may have contraindications and cause side effects, incl. allergic reactions. Below you will find several recipes for folk ointments for facial allergies.
Horseradish cream
horseradish root, sour cream.
Preparation: Grind the root, squeeze 1 tablespoon of juice from the resulting mass and mix with 1 tablespoon of sour cream. Then let it brew for 1-2 days.

If you do not know which remedy for facial allergies is best to use: hormonal or some other, then the only correct answer is to consult a doctor for advice. He will conduct an examination and help you choose the most successful medications that you can use whenever symptoms appear.
It is strongly not recommended to buy and use hormonal drugs on your own, since hormonal ointments for allergies on the face usually have a number of side effects and contraindications.
Treatment of allergies on the face with ointments or creams must be approached with caution. The fact is that there are medications that are created for use on rough skin, for example, for the palmar surface of the hands or for the plantar surface of the feet. Of course, such substances should not be applied to delicate facial skin.
Therefore, always read the instructions before applying.
To summarize, we can say that local symptoms of skin allergies in the vast majority of cases are easily treatable. It is enough to try several drugs and choose the one that is most effective in your case.
However, even the best ointment for facial allergies will not relieve your symptoms completely unless the action of the allergen is stopped.
Therefore, first of all, focus your attention on prevention, and you can forget about this unpleasant condition for a long time
Allergic dermatitis is a skin reaction of the body to a certain substance or, in other words, an allergen.
In such cases, allergy ointment is almost always used on the face, since it is necessary to minimize the external manifestations of allergies, but taking antihistamines and a special diet can also help in treating the disease.
Allergies on the face may appear as pink spots or flaky areas. Swelling often appears, as well as a feeling of severe itching, due to which a person can scratch the affected areas until it bleeds, thereby facilitating the addition of a secondary bacterial infection.
It must be emphasized that skin allergies require attention; if rashes or spots appear at one moment, a painstaking analysis is needed to identify what has changed in the environment, what could have gotten on the skin, what has been eaten or drunk.
Allergy ointments can be hormonal or non-hormonal, but in any case it is better if the ointment is prescribed by a doctor.
The differences between allergy ointment and cream are as follows:
Due to its high fat content, the ointment contains more active ingredients, the ointment is used specifically for application to the affected area, the cream has a light texture and is absorbed very quickly, the cream can be applied to large areas of the skin
Does the reaction depend on skin type?
No one is immune from allergies, even those with normal skin without any obvious dermatological problems. However, people whose epidermis is characterized by increased dryness and sensitivity are usually at particular risk. It is atopic sensitive facial skin that reacts most strongly to preservatives, fragrances and parabens in creams. People with sensitive skin types should give preference to natural cosmetics based on ingredients of natural origin.
There are often cases when allergies are provoked by environmentally friendly products with a large number of plant extracts in their composition. Essential oils and minerals, despite their environmental friendliness, are among the most powerful allergens in the cosmetics industry.

Allergy to cream - what to do?
One of the common causes of allergies on any part of the skin is an allergy to the cream. The products contain many additives, natural extracts of plants and flowers, as well as honey, citrus fruits and other allergenic components that affect people differently. Some women praise a particular face cream, others talk about the appearance of immediate symptoms of an allergic reaction after the first use.
In all cases, the cause of an allergy to the cream is the individual characteristics of each organism; the skin cells of different people react to the same substance differently. Even the same person can experience different reactions to the cream, it all depends on the state of the immune system, as well as the accumulation of the allergen in the body.
What to do if you have an allergic reaction to the cream?
- It is necessary to stop using it;
- Wash and remove any remaining product;
- Apply antiallergic cream;
- Follow a course of treatment with the cream until allergy symptoms disappear completely, but not more than the permissible norm specified by the manufacturer;
- Do not use other products during the treatment of an allergic reaction, with the exception of light hypoallergenic products that moisturize and nourish the skin.
To prevent allergies, you need to check your skin for individual sensitivity before purchasing. To do this, a small amount of the substance is applied to the hand.
If an allergen is present in the cream, it will make itself felt in the area of the skin where the cream was applied. Symptoms of an allergy to the cream are irritation and redness. This way you can prevent negative consequences and save money.

Product groups and risks
There are some products known that are more likely to cause allergies. Photos of face creams and packaging of such products demonstrate: most often the problem is caused by the use of foundation for the face or one designed to protect from the sun. Among tonal products, the most dangerous from the point of view of potential sensitization are those produced by L'Oreal and Black Pearl. These products contain chemical ingredients that provide a special shade. Their prolonged interaction with the skin leads to allergies. The risk of reaction is higher in those with oily skin. When choosing cosmetics for yourself, you need to pay attention to special ones created for such covers. The packaging should say oil free.
Among those protecting from the sun, the most allergenic products are considered to be “Biocon” and “Maximum Protection”. These products contain a lot of additional ingredients that protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation. RAVA, oxy-, avobenzone, used in sunscreen cosmetics, are potentially dangerous to humans.
Traditional methods
Herbal compresses
Such compresses can relieve itching, prevent infection, and also have disinfectant and anti-inflammatory properties. It is best to use string, chamomile or sage.
You need to take two tablespoons of dried herbs and pour 0.5 liters of hot water and leave for an hour under the lid. Clean gauze should be soaked in this infusion and applied to the face throughout the day.
Raspberry decoction
Peeled and thoroughly washed raspberry roots are cooked for half an hour over low heat. Take this decoction two tablespoons three times a day.
Potato starch
If there are festering ulcers and wounds on the face, they can be sprinkled with natural potato starch.
It is worth noting that no matter how effective folk remedies are, they will not give results without drug treatment.
In the process of treating allergies, you should not think about the appearance, the main thing is to cure the disease from the inside, then the allergy symptoms will disappear without a trace.
Treatment
Allergy symptoms such as redness, itching and swelling of the face often go away on their own within a week of onset.
A few tips will help you get rid of these signs much earlier.
- Avoid contact. During an exacerbation of allergies, do not touch the causative agents of your illness. To be on the safe side, avoid strong odors from soaps, powders, and detergents.
- Hydration. A cold compress or shower will help relieve the itchy rash for a while. Do not wash your face with large amounts of water; simply moisturize the skin on your face.
- Oatmeal mask. Colloidal oatmeal is a powdered oatmeal that mixes easily with water. An oatmeal mask will help soothe inflamed skin. Unfortunately, some skin types do not tolerate such products well. To avoid additional damage, use warm water, as boiling water will worsen the situation.
- Antibacterial cream. Hydrocortisone cream or calamine ointment are ideal for eliminating symptoms.
- Wet compress. Any cotton towel will do for a compress. Soak it in water and squeeze it out, then leave this compress on your face for a while. It is not recommended to get rid of the compress earlier than after 30 minutes.
Not all allergic reactions can be eliminated at home; in severe cases, consultation with a specialist is necessary.
Allergy tablets for the face
As strange as it may sound, there are no medications to treat allergies. All drugs available in pharmacies remove symptoms, but do not stop the process itself. These drugs are called antihistamines, and they eliminate swelling and reduce the amount of rash. Combination drugs such as corticosteroids are used much less frequently.
In some cases, the use of immunomodulators (for example, Isoprinosine) is allowed to reduce the body's sensitivity to the allergen.
Antihistamines
Antihistamines are used to relieve allergy symptoms. They are available as tablets, solution, nasal spray or eye drops.
Over-the-counter antihistamine eye drops relieve itching and redness around the eyes, while nasal sprays are used to treat seasonal or year-round allergy symptoms.
- Over-the-counter drugs. Cetirizine (Zyrtec), Fexofenadine (Allegra), Levocetirizine (Xyzal), and Loratadine (Claritin, Alavert) come in tablet form. Brompheniramine (Dimethapp), Chlorpheniramine (Chlor-Trimeton), Clemastine (Tavist), and Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) may cause side effects such as drowsiness and weakness. Ketotifen (Zaditor), Naphazoline and Pheniramine are eye drops.
- Prescription drugs. Desloratadine (Clarinex) comes in tablet form and has no serious side effects. Astelin is a nasal spray that helps get rid of rashes around the nose and eyes. Prescription-only antihistamine eye drops include Optivar, Elestat, and Patanol.
Symptoms
Often, the first signs of an allergy appear immediately after a pathogenic irritant hits the surface of the skin. However, there are cases when the reaction manifests itself only after a few days. Experts identify the following symptoms indicating the presence of intolerance:
- Minor rash. It usually affects those areas that have been treated with an allergenic composition. In more severe cases, the entire face is affected.
- Rashes . They are divided into primary and secondary. Primary rashes form on areas treated with cream and have the appearance of papules or vesicles. In the absence of immediate treatment, these rashes burst, provoking the appearance of secondary inflammation over the entire surface of the face.
- Erythema . Redness of the skin that occurs in response to increased blood flow in damaged tissues.
- Edema . Most often, the area around the lips and eyes swells, and changes in the oral cavity are also observed. The most dangerous is swelling of the larynx, which makes it difficult for the patient to breathe.
