SPECIAL Ointment universal cream-balm
Often received abrasions, scratches, cuts and bruises. Naturally, there were various other troubles with the skin, both from the vicissitudes of the weather and from mosquitoes and midges. Due to not always normal hygiene, acne, redness, skin rashes appeared in the form of pimples, boils, etc. Some people's feet will become sweaty and a rash will appear. Who tied socks or foot wraps incorrectly or changed them at the wrong time. Who will have something jump out on their face? Someone gets burned by nettles or some plant, or pricked by a thorn, needle, branch, etc. In general, something like this happened all the time. It’s not surprising, because the conditions were close to extreme, and it was quite uncomfortable for a prepared, and even more so for an unprepared, person. In the search teams there were children of different ages, both adults who served in the armed forces, who visited “hot spots,” and teenagers, there were many so-called “difficult teenagers.” Everyone had to be looked after, taken care of and, if possible, their living conditions had to be made easier. To help. Often they even save you from various health problems. What was needed was some kind of universal, special, convenient healing agent. At that time, they didn’t use anything special except iodine and brilliant green, but the glass packaging was not very convenient. You can't carry it with you. There was also, of course, a band-aid. But also, it wasn’t suitable for everything, and they forgot to take it with them into the forest. Since the detachments were purely male, and girls could rarely appear and visit one of the fighters for a short time, somehow it never occurred to anyone to take hand cream or something like that with them. It was then that a cream was developed - a universal balm, as a healing agent that helps in different situations, especially for extreme conditions and specifically for different conditions, and especially universal, for both women and men, so that men would not hesitate to take take it with you and feel free to use it.
Also, in order to make the soldiers of the search teams more comfortable, not only physically, but also mentally, the cream-balm was given a name consonant with the word SPECIAL FORCES, that is, in essence it is a balm, a special-purpose cream-balm was called SPECIAL OIL. The cream was developed as a special and universal product that could be taken with you to the forest, mountains, deserts, anywhere, and just to the country, to a home first aid kit or car first aid kit. In addition, the slogan “SPECIAL FORCES VETERANS RECOMMEND” was coined at the same time. Why do special forces veterans recommend it? Because the leader of the detachment, Dmitry Aleksandrovich Andrianov, was a veteran of the GRU special forces and served in a limited contingent of troops in Afghanistan during combat operations.
It was after communicating with him that it was decided to come to the rescue and provide assistance to the guys doing a good job. A special cream-balm was developed and offered for use. Tested in action. Dmitry Alexandrovich approved and recommended to friends.
Also, the guys who served with him and took part in search movements used this cream and only then, in everyday life, could not imagine life without it: they used it after shaving, and after mosquito bites, and in the forest and on in the country during excavation work, as well as in severe frosts, and even some saved the skin after minor burns. A few years later, the cream went on mass sale and became popular.

Pharmacological properties
The high therapeutic effectiveness of Special Masi is determined by its active ingredients. These are concentrated extracts from medicinal plants, rich in vitamins, micro- and macroelements, and bioflavonoids.
The bioactive substances of Special Masi accumulate in the deepest layers of the dermis. And then they are gradually released, having a lasting positive effect on the skin. The components of the drug are characterized by the following pharmacological properties:
- stimulation of epithelization and healing of the skin;
- normalization of intracellular metabolism;
- increasing the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid, which are necessary for tissue regeneration;
- relief of sluggish inflammatory processes;
- elimination of pain, itching, burning;
- accelerated resorption of edema and hematomas;
- restoration of damaged capillaries;
- strengthening the walls of blood vessels.

The result is accelerated metabolism and rapid restoration of damaged tissue.
