Gel for the care of the intimate area should be in the bathroom of every person. Since they not only cleanse and moisturize, but also support the microflora. What products can you trust? What are the advantages of the best, are there any disadvantages? Our rating includes 13 intimate hygiene gels that have surpassed competitors in quality.

How to choose an intimate hygiene gel

The most important criterion for choosing care products for the intimate area is the composition. You need to pay attention to:

1. acid balance. The vagina is acidic, so changing it to an alkaline one can lead to thrush. It is important to choose gels that restore and maintain pH levels, and they themselves must be at least 4,0.

2. Extracts of herbs, flowers and other plants. Moisturize the skin, give aroma, have bactericidal properties.

3. Essential oils. Especially tea tree or orange create a protective barrier against urinary infections.

4. Lactic acid with lactobacilli. Maintains the normal state of the microflora, gently ridding the genital area of ​​pathogenic microorganisms.

It is very important to take care not only of the face, hair and body, but also of the more delicate and sensitive areas. Be sure to check intimate hygiene gels for ingredients that could cause allergies or are intolerant.

Rating of the best gels for intimate hygiene

SesDerma Nanocare Intimate

Rating: 4.9

The honorable place of the rating is occupied by the gel, which is not only a type of cosmetics, but also a full-fledged remedy. In total, the package, costing 2800-3000 rubles, contains 6 ampoules, which can be used no more than 3 times a week.

SesDerma Nanocare Intimate has a gentle effect on the skin, relieving it of dryness, as well as restoring the mucous membrane. It contains only natural ingredients, namely hyaluronic acid, bisabolol and burdock extract. The product is recommended in the following cases:

1. menopause

2. critical days;

3. during pregnancy;

4. when taking contraceptives;

5. treatment with antidepressants;

6. with urinary infections.

All of the above signs can cause dryness and irritation, so SesDerma Nanocare Intimate will be the perfect moisturizer. Thanks to the nanoparticles that are part of the gel, it is able to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and improve its condition in the shortest possible time. If the course of treatment is completed, SesDerma Nanocare Intimate can be used for prevention no more than 1 ampoule per week.

Well-being Health Pharm

Rating: 4.8

Like the previous participant in the rating, the gel has a natural composition of extracts of natural herbs and plants. It includes: green tea, licorice, needles and peony. Some of the components are aimed at improving the condition of the skin, others give the product a fragrance.

In addition to cleansing the intimate area, the gel is able to relieve irritation and reduce discomfort from inflammation. Well-being Health Pharm is ideal for sensitive skin, as it has a gentle and gentle effect on the mucous membranes. Its main feature is the fight against odor, which may occur due to improper care of the vagina.

In our opinion, this gel is more suitable for prevention than for the treatment of thrush or genitourinary infections. It gives a pleasant feeling of freshness and purity to women at any age.

EPIGEN INTIM GEL, 250 ML

Rating: 4.7

The next rating participant is sold only in pharmacies, but without a prescription. The gel contains licorice root extract, which can relieve irritation and reduce itching. This helps to reduce inflammation, discomfort disappears after 2-3 uses.

The frequency of use depends on the problem: for the prevention and maintenance of the mucosa, the drug is used 2 times a month, and to combat pathogenic microflora several times a day. The advantage is its cost-effectiveness, a 250 ml package is enough for several months.

In our opinion, EPIGEN INTIM GEL is the best remedy for the treatment and prevention of thrush. The drug can be used during pregnancy or on critical days – it has no contraindications, it is environmentally friendly. Compared to SesDerma Nanocare Intimate, this gel is safer, which is why the product is popular with both women and men.

Uriage Gyn-Phy

Rating: 4.7

Uriage Gyn-Phy was developed to cleanse the intimate area several times a day, but has become used in the fight against thrush. It contains most natural extracts, but you should pay attention to “DMDM Hydantoin”, which is an allergen. The substance can adversely affect the body’s immune system, so we do not recommend it for use by pregnant women.

Of the advantages, one can single out the presence of lactic acid, whose function is to restore the pH balance in the mucosa. The gel does not foam, has a light aroma, does not dry the skin. After application, there is a feeling of freshness, moisture, which persists throughout the day.

As for consumption, the substance is enough for 6-8 months with constant use. This is much more than EPIGEN INTIM GEL, and the price for a 500 ml bottle is more economical. But Uriage Gyn-Phy ranks lower in the ranking due to the presence of an allergen in the composition.

STYX

Rating: 4.6

In addition to standard bactericidal properties, STYX gel is capable of regenerating mucosal cells and relieving inflammation and edema. The tool is an excellent option for the prevention of genitourinary infections, can be used for standard cleansing of the intimate area.

Of the pluses, we singled out the soothing of the skin – irritations disappear on the second day! It is thanks to this property that STYX gets into our rating. The composition contains tea tree oil, whose main task is to destroy the pathogenic microflora of the mucosa. A wonderful aroma of the gel gives orange essential oil, which saturates the skin with vitamins. The smell remains for a long time, and using the product in the morning gives a feeling of freshness for the whole day.

And yet, despite all these advantages, we consider the price of STYX gel to be unjustified. It does not maintain pH balance, having only bactericidal and regenerating abilities. It does not contain allergens, as in Uriage Gyn-Phy, but it contains synthetic components. Also, the product is sold only in exclusive boutiques from STYX, if there are none in your city, you will have to order the gel through an online store.

Lactacyd Pharma Sensitive

Rating: 4.5

For hypersensitive skin prone to irritation and breakouts from conventional shower gels, Lactacyd Pharma Sensitive is ideal. It can be used daily, during pregnancy and menstruation. This is especially true for girls with delicate mucous membranes, any problems with which cause terrible discomfort.

According to its structure, the gel is a cloudy, viscous substance with practically no smell. It does not foam when interacting with water. After application, it leaves a light film on the mucous membrane, which can cause a feeling of insufficient freshness and incomplete cleansing.

In our opinion, this gel is not suitable for everyone, only for girls with a pH of 3-4, whose intimate zone environment is not semi-sweet. The use of this substance can lead to the appearance of thrush, especially during a strong predisposition to it (pregnancy, taking contraceptives).

Gel-milk for intimate hygiene MI&KO Lavender

Rating: 4.5

MI&KO Lavender, unlike STYX, consists only of natural essential oils and has no fragrances or dyes. A cloudy yellow blend containing tea tree and lavender oils. The product gently cleanses the mucosa, but leaves a greasy film on it. Because of this minus, an unpleasant feeling arises in the intimate area, since it is impossible to completely wash off the gel after use.

In addition to the cleansing effect, the milk gel also has bactericidal properties. Geranium oil restores microflora while maintaining pH balance, which is very important at any age.

Compiling the rating, we paid attention to customer reviews. They note that gel-milk is inconvenient to use even with a dispenser. You need to click on it at least 20, sometimes 30 times to get a small amount of funds. In addition, although MI&KO Lavender forms a greasy film on the mucous membrane, it does not perform a protective function.

It is worth noting that in addition to the aroma of lavender, there is a similar product with the smell of roses. It contains lactic acid, so the effect after application is better.

Gel for intimate hygiene Levrana

Rating: 4.5

Another product of our rating, which is distinguished by delicate care. Levrana is great for treating hypersensitive skin, relieves inflammation, and fights discomfort. Also, the gel produces a bactericidal effect, preventing the development of infections of the genitourinary system.

A bottle of 250 ml is enough for a long time, the consumption of the product is economical. The composition contains emollient components of only natural origin, which is a big plus. There are lactobacilli, the main purpose of which is the production of lactic acid. This creates a special environment that can maintain the pH balance of the mucosa.

The gel foams slightly, easily squeezed out of the bottle. The consistency of the substance resembles more of a watery rather than a viscous liquid. It has no fragrance and does not leave it after use.

Gel for intimate hygiene Organyc

Rating: 4.5

Gel for intimate hygiene is produced by this company for the first time, as the company specializes in the production of bactericidal wipes, ear sticks and other personal hygiene products. In the composition, along with essential oils, there are extracts of calendula and cornflower flowers. Natural Italian product carefully cares for the skin, cleansing and moisturizing it.

We believe that this gel is ideal for women 40+ when the mucosa is not saturated with moisture. Essential oils penetrate deep into the skin, leaving not only a pleasant aroma, but also cooling it. To maintain the female microflora, there is lactic acid, which is another plus of the rating representative.

As for the smell, it is gentle, very subtle. The dispenser is easy to open and close, unlike the MI&KO Lavender gel bottle. The consistency is semi-liquid, there is a light foam. The gel does not form greasy films and can be used several times a day. The packaging design is standard, you can buy a care product at any store.

IVOMED Bikini Care and Family Care

Rating: 4.4

Both gels for intimate hygiene are distinguished by their gentle effect on the skin and excellent bactericidal properties. In addition, the composition does not contain allergens such as paraben or chlorhexidine.

The tool is very affordable, it can be purchased at any supermarket. In our opinion, both gels can be used for sensitive skin, and the IVOMED Family Care series is suitable for all family members.

The product is clear but does not foam. Compared to Family Care and Bikini Care, the former is much softer and more watery, giving a wonderful feeling of freshness. Bikini Care is more for women than a family line, as this model is effective in combating thrush and ingrown hairs.

We believe that Bikini Care can be used at any age, as well as the condition of the vagina. The product does not restore the pH balance, but quickly moisturizes the deep layers of the skin.

Gel for intimate hygiene Gynocomfort Basic care

Rating: 4.3

The gel not only gently cleanses the mucous membrane, but also creates a real protective barrier in the form of a thin film. This allows you to get rid of the possibility of a genitourinary infection, or thrush.

The composition does not contain sulfates and dyes, most of the components of natural origin. Separately, it is worth emphasizing the presence of lactic acid and glyceryl, which help the skin not to dry out, and also not to change the acidic environment. There is sodium lactate, the main task of which is to protect against the development of pathogenic organisms.

Cleanliness and comfort after morning use are provided for the whole day. The gel gives a pleasant feeling in the intimate area, leaving a light fragrance. The consistency is closer to watery, the substance is transparent. It moisturizes the skin well, there are no unpleasant sensations during the procedure.

We would also like to point out that the gel can cause severe itching and irritation in people who are allergic to magnolia extract or fragrance. So before using the product, read the ingredients on the package.

Eveline Cosmetics LACTIMED+ 3в1 SOS

Rating: 4.2

Like EPIGEN INTIM GEL, this remedy is not designed for prevention, but for the treatment of thrush and maintaining vaginal hygiene. The product is sold in several versions, we recommend either chamomile extract or cranberry. The first gives mild hydration, and the second maintains the pH balance.

The composition contains D-panthenol – the best way to nourish the mucous. There are also components that create a protective barrier in the intimate area.

Eveline Cosmetics LACTIMED+ 3in1 SOS has become a member of our rating due to its cost-effectiveness, a bottle lasts for six months with regular use. The product itself foams a little, the consistency is of medium density, the color is transparent. In addition to cleansing, the gel gives a cooling effect, which is very important in the fight against inflammation or discomfort. After rinsing, it does not form a film, and the version with chamomile extract leaves a faint aroma.

This line is innovative, so a special version of the gel-soap for pregnant women was developed. Buyers note that this model has the same properties as the main line, but has an unpleasant, sugary smell.

Gentle gel for intimate hygiene Organic Shop Lotus flower

Rating: 4.1

The final gel for the intimate area in the ranking of the best was Organic Shop with a lotus flower. Due to the presence of white tea extract in the composition, freshness and comfort are felt after use. But the main component is Indian lotus milk, which not only gives the product a charming aroma, but also fights irritations and relieves inflammation.

The packaging is round, without dispenser. We believe that such a “jar” is the wrong decision, since it quickly becomes dirty and unscrews for a long time. Compared to previous gels that had bottles and dispensers, this drug loses.

Thick gel type, when combined with water, it practically does not foam.
