Dr. Konopka's cosmetics: features, advice on selection and use
Brand Dr. Konopka is owned by the Estonian company Eurobiolab. The doctor himself really existed in history. He launched his own series of beauty care products in the 30s of the twentieth century.
A little about the brand
In 1931, Dr. Konopka opened a pharmacy, and after 3 years he was setting up sales outside his city. Throughout his life, the doctor conducted research in the field of medicinal herbs, created unique products. In 1938, he published a book of beauty recipes with his own money, but it did not receive wide public support. In 2013, the Eurobiolab company decides to correct the existing injustice and launches the production of cosmetics according to the book's recipes, but using modern technologies. This is how the brand got its name.
All brand products have quality and safety certificates. It is 100% natural ingredients. The cosmetics are based on natural oils and herbal ingredients. The composition does not contain parabens, artificial fragrances and animal products. The cosmetics are suitable for vegans. The products themselves are also not tested on animals. Among the line of cosmetic products of the Dr. Konopka's highlight means for cleansing, care, nutrition, moisturizing of skin and hair, including for cosmetic procedures.
It is interesting to note that the brand also cares about the health of the oral cavity. Find toothpaste and mouth rinses here.
Facial products
The line contains creams, masks, scrubs, balms, tonics, oils and essences. There are products for both young skin and anti-wrinkle treatments. Creams have a pleasant texture, some of them resemble melted butter or soufflé in consistency.At the same time, the funds are completely non-greasy, perfectly absorbed and do not form a sticky film. A couple of minutes after application, you can apply a foundation. This emollient and nourishing cream is great for Russian winters. After it, the skin is velvety, practically not chapped and does not flake off.
A mattifying essence for the face is more like a cream. It is taken out with a pipette, but hard, because it is thick. Users note that the pump would be more appropriate and comfortable. Easy to apply, absorbed within a couple of minutes. Does not leave a feeling of tightness, decorative cosmetics fit well on top. But not suitable for all skin types.
The tonic of the brand received negative reviews. On the one hand, the Russian-language translation indicates that this is a tonic, the English-language one - toner. These are two completely different cosmetics. In fact, Dr. Konopka's is a toner. It has a tangible caring effect, perfectly tones and moisturizes.
But everyone liked the peeling for the skin. It contains 4 acids (lactic, salicylic, glycolic and citric) and bleaching agents. The skin is exfoliated delicately, is not injured, at the same time it is moisturized and smoothed. At the same time, users noted that if you overexpose the peeling on the face, it does not leave burns or redness. The warming scrub has also proven itself positively. It contains crushed apricot kernel shells, but does not scratch the skin at all. The exfoliation is extremely gentle, leaving behind a smooth and clear skin feeling.
Hair care products
Users note a rather thick consistency in shampoos. They foam well, rinse off well with water and leave no residue on the hair. Balms are denser, but used sparingly. Hair masks have a stronger effect. In terms of composition, they practically duplicate balms, and users did not feel a particularly noticeable difference.
There is also an anti-hair loss serum. It does not flow, it is perfectly absorbed, but the effect will be noticeable only after a month with regular use. But the anti-dandruff serum has disappointed many buyers.
She undoubtedly had a positive effect on the scalp, soothed irritation, but did not get rid of dandruff. The brand also has a volumizing serum. It is well absorbed, does not weigh down and does not pollute the hair roots. Unfortunately, It was not possible to get the promised volume, but the hair grew noticeably faster.
The disadvantages are the lack of dispensers on shampoos and balms, as a result of which it is not always convenient to remove the product, it is necessary to shake the jar. Creams lack protective membranes. But the product itself is always in the package a lot. The generosity of the Eurobiolab company was noted by all the customers. To the merits of the Dr. Konopka's can be attributed to democratic prices and economical consumption.
Cosmetics can be easily purchased in almost every pharmacy chain, and the funds themselves will last for a long time.
