Peeling roller “Propeller” is a high-quality product for cleansing facial skin, produced in Russia.

It is used independently at home, following all the manufacturer’s recommendations.

How does a peeling roll work?

The drug has a complex effect on the skin of the face:

• gently cleanses of dead cells;
• relieves inflammation;
• activates blood supply;
• accelerates skin restoration;
• gives a fresh look;
• improves complexion;
• evens out the tone of the epidermis.

The product is characterized by such qualities as versatility and all-season use, allowing it to be used in different situations. The manufacturer produces peeling rollers in several versions designed for certain skin types.

Product benefits

Gently and carefully cleansing problematic skin, the salicylic peeling roller “Propeller” (reviews from users praise it for this) has become popular thanks to: safe components, including the unique BIO salicylate - an effective assistant in the fight against pimples and acne; antibacterial properties that help eliminate inflammation; a delicate effect on the epidermis that does not injure it; a refreshing and tonic effect for the skin, restoring its beauty and health; evening out the color and texture of the skin, giving it softness and tenderness; normalizing the production of sebaceous secretions by the skin glands, eliminating oily sheen; high-quality softening and removal of dead cells due to keratolytic action, freeing up space for young and healthy epithelium; elimination of various cosmetic skin defects due to deep penetration into pores, removal of comedones (blackheads); powerful peeling effect not only on the surface of the epidermis, but also in the ducts of the sebaceous glands.

Manufacturers claim that the Propeller peeling ray, which contains safe ingredients for the skin, has an amazing “smart” effect, thanks to which almost all users praise this product.

Types of drugs "Propeller"

There are two types of product on sale:

• salicylic peeling roll (Immuno 2 in 1). The drug looks like a semi-liquid transparent substance. Due to the absence of abrasive particles in the composition, it does not scratch the skin. Peeling ensures the normal functioning of the sebaceous glands, gives the skin a matte appearance, and eliminates acne, pimples, and blackheads. In addition to salicylic acid, it contains lactulose, which strengthens local immunity;
• product with bamboo charcoal. The composition has a gel-like texture, black color and a pleasant aroma. The gel deeply cleanses contaminated pores, stimulates skin restoration, makes age-related changes less noticeable, and provides an antiseptic effect. Additional peeling components - lactic acid, fruit extracts (kiwi, apple, orange, grapefruit).

Both drugs are available in soft tubes with a volume of 100 ml. The average price of each product varies in the range of 95–120 rubles. You can buy peeling rolls at most pharmacies or stores that sell skincare cosmetics.

Reviews

Elena, 33 years old, St. Petersburg

“I often use a peeling roll.
I really like the effect: the product removes sebum, reduces inflammation, cleanses pores. Previously, I bought a peeling roll from the Librederm company, then I decided to experiment and bought a Propeller with bamboo charcoal from the brand. The result seemed more pronounced to me.

I noticed that the blackheads became much smaller after the first use, the pores narrowed, and the oily sheen completely disappeared.”

Yulia, 38 years old, Vladivostok, Russia

“According to reviews, the Propeller peeling roll is a very effective product that instantly gets rid of sebum.
I was convinced of this from personal experience. I have salicylic peeling. After the procedure, the skin is soft and smooth, not a trace of sebum remains.”

Alina, 27 years old, Ryazan, Russia

“Pilin roll is a real salvation for my oily skin.
I actively use it in the summer, when the skin acquires an oily sheen a few hours after washing. This product helps me normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands and slow down the production of fat.”

Irina, 39 years old, Moscow, Russia

“I was impressed by the feedback after using the Propeller peeling roll with bamboo charcoal.
I myself suffer from oily skin, so I decided to try it. I liked the effect. Immediately after the first use, the skin became clean and smooth. After 2 weeks, I noticed that sebum was secreted in less quantity, and almost all the blackheads disappeared. Now I use this peeling on a regular basis.”

Who is it recommended to use?

The following describes the cases in which you should use Propeller cleaning products:

Peeling with salicylic acid is primarily addressed to those with young, problematic skin. A preparation based on bamboo charcoal is more suitable for mature and sensitive epidermis. It is recommended to use it at the age of 30+.

If the pores on your face are very enlarged, it is recommended to alternate peeling rolls with each other. This will allow you to quickly get rid of such a defect and ensure the prevention of inflammation.

Advantages and disadvantages

Propeller is a peeling roller, reviews of which are positive in 95% of cases. It has more advantages than disadvantages.

Pros:

• creates a matting effect;
• tightens pores well;
• does not injure the skin, does not cause irritation or allergic reactions;
• smoothes the surface, improves complexion;

  
  On the left is the result before using the Propeller peeling roller, on the right - after

• has a pleasant smell;
• there are no age restrictions, although a peeling gel based on bamboo charcoal is recommended for use only after 35 years, while salicylic gel can be used to cleanse even young skin;
• there is no need for long recovery after the procedure;
• The peeling roller can be used at any time of the year;
• budget product with good volume.

Flaws:

• very liquid consistency;
• superficial cleansing;
• Peeling roll with bamboo charcoal contains synthetic additives, some of which have a carcinogenic effect.

Some consumers noted that peeling is poorly washed off, is uneconomical and does not give the expected result.

How to cleanse your face

The packaging of each product contains detailed instructions for use. Both rollers are used as follows:

• prepare the covers for the procedure. To do this, wash thoroughly with a soft gel;
• in the absence of rosacea or severe inflammation, the epidermis is lightly steamed;
• Apply a small amount of the drug to a clean, dry face and distribute it in an even layer (the area around the eyes and lips is not affected);
• perform light self-massage with fingertips;
• leave the product to act for 1-2 minutes.

When salicylic peeling is used, small lumps form on the face, which absorb fatty deposits and other types of impurities. They must be washed off with clean warm water. When using a bamboo composition, you do not need to intensively rub the skin. This product contains cleansing lumps from the very beginning.

Quite often after using a peeling roll with salicylic acid, a feeling of tightness occurs. To eliminate it, apply a moisturizer to the face that matches the type of epidermis.

Peeling roller Propeller Salicylic 2in1 “IQ-CLEANSING”

WELCOME to your review!

I like the Propeller brand, and in many ways it suits me. Their lotions and tonics are the care products that I have bought, buy and will continue to buy.

And, naturally, when I saw the peeling roll in the familiar blue design, I wanted to try it! Even at the time of purchase, for some reason it seemed to me that I would be satisfied with the work of the peeling. But alas and ah... love and friendship did not work out...

Peeling roller Propeller Salicylic 2in1 “IQ-CLEANSING”

Full name: Peeling roller Propeller Salicylic 2in1 “IQ-CLEANSING”

Product DESCRIPTION by manufacturer:

The key feature of the product is deep cleansing of pores without damaging the skin. It does not contain harsh abrasive particles that can injure problem skin. Salicylic peeling roll is a “smart peeling” that deeply cleanses pores, eliminates oily shine, evens out skin texture, and all this is possible thanks to the ability to transform during use.

Peeling roller Propeller Salicylic 2in1 “IQ-CLEANSING”

PACKAGING: peeling is enclosed in a soft plastic tube with a volume of 100 ml. The lid snaps off effortlessly and snaps securely and tightly. The manufacturer provides protection - the neck, which acts as a kind of dispenser, was initially sealed with foil.

Peeling roller Propeller Salicylic 2in1 “IQ-CLEANSING”: DESCRIPTION

Detailed information about the product is contained on the tube: description, composition, method of use, etc.

The COST is low and acceptable for testing - 90 rubles in the Perfume Leader store (November, 2020).

COMPOSITION of the “Propeller” peeling ray:

Peeling roller Propeller Salicylic 2in1 “IQ-CLEANSING”: COMPOSITION

In addition to its unique texture, the peeling roll contains a powerful anti-acne complex “BIO salicylate + Lactulose”, which has proven effectiveness. Well-proven BIO salicylate (natural salicylate of willow bark extract and salicylic acid) has a pronounced keratolytic and antimicrobial effect, cleanses pores, normalizes the activity of the sebaceous glands, dries and eliminates oily sheen. Lactulose is a unique component of the entire line of PROPELER Immuno products, strengthening the barrier properties of the skin, blocking the growth of bacteria, and prevents the appearance of acne.

CONSISTENCY. This is the first drawback I encountered... The peeling is very, very liquid! Much thinner than most average shampoos or shower gels...

Peeling roller Propeller Salicylic 2in1 “IQ-CLEANSING”: CONSISTENCY

When used, an indecent amount pours out, and when applied, all this “liquid” tends to flow down and escape through your fingers...

CONSUMPTION accordingly is not the most economical, especially in comparison with “Koreans” or at least domestic Librederm rolls.

THE AROMAT is the most pleasant thing about the peeling roll! For some reason, the aroma of the Ollin hair mask reminded me exactly - the smell is just as fresh and salon-like.

HOW TO USE:

Apply the required amount of salicylic peeling gel to dry skin with gentle massaging movements, avoiding the areas around the eyes and lips. During application, the gel begins to transform into particles that eliminate dirt and oily shine. After the procedure, rinse off any remaining product with water.

And then I came across the second nuance - the skate doesn’t roll!!! Using a roller is not new to me, but I have never seen such weak peelings.

So, I started the test: as usual, out of habit, I cleaned my face of the decorative product, patted my face with a towel and applied a peeling roller... Hmm... I massaged and rubbed this “thing” for a long time, but as a result, the whole roller seemed to dissolve on the skin and literally rolled off in two or three pellets!!!

Peeling roller Propeller Salicylic 2in1 “IQ-CLEANSING”

It’s really amazing, I think, is my skin really so clear that even a roller can’t take it??

However, after washing off the peeling, I saw absolutely no changes! The black dots are still there, the small “peels” remain.

The trick didn’t work: either that’s the trick, or I’m the one who did something wrong. I re-read the information on the tube, and it turns out that the “Smart” roller “Propeller” MUST BE APPLIED EXCLUSIVELY TO DRY SKIN, otherwise the full-fledged rolling magic will not work.

Peeling roller Propeller Salicylic 2in1 “IQ-CLEANSING”

It is logical to assume that the roll should be used on clean skin, free from cosmetics, powder and tone. In my case, the following situation arises: first you need to cleanse the skin, then dry it thoroughly (dry it, not wipe it with a towel!!!) and only then apply peeling. And so the unnecessary dances with tambourines begin, which I don’t want to dance at all.

Okay, I'm trying peeling on dry skin. The rolling process has begun, but it is still somewhat weak, the pellets are a bit painful, but still not enough for a full process of cleansing the skin.

Peeling roller Propeller Salicylic 2in1 “IQ-CLEANSING”: ROLLING PROCESS

[The photo shows the rolling process - peeling work. To “roll” the skin, I had to rub and massage it for more than a minute. The result is in the photo! ]

The RESULT that I expected to see did not happen regardless of whether I used the roll on dry or damp skin.

What I EXPECTED from the peeling roller was: cleansing the skin, getting rid of flaking, partially removing/lightening blackheads, improving complexion and possibly narrowing pores. [And these are not some supernatural requirements, this is the standard “set” that I get from using Korean peelings] What I RECEIVED: ... Nothing! I haven't noticed any improvement in my skin! A plus is the lack of dryness after use.

The “smart” peeling roller “Propeller” did not live up to my expectations and had no effect on my combination skin.

Perhaps I would have rated the product at 3 or even 4* stars if I had not been familiar with Korean peelings, which, although they are more expensive, work on the skin and are worth every ruble! And they are also spent much more economically. Therefore, if you use “Korean” products, count on the fact that “Propeller” will be more of a preparation for peeling than the peeling itself!

I won't recommend it!

Features of post-peeling care

Despite the fact that all Propeller products are quite gentle, special skin care is required after their use. In the first few hours after the procedure, you are prohibited from touching your face or using decorative cosmetics. Before going outside, be sure to use products with an SPF factor. Shortly before bedtime, the skin should be treated with a nourishing night cream.

To speed up the restoration of the integument, it is recommended to consume a sufficient amount of liquid. For several days following cleansing, you should avoid exposure to the sun and visiting solariums.

Contraindications

Despite the fact that peeling rollers are delicate skin cleansers, there are several contraindications to their use.

Namely:

• diagnosed rosacea, rosacea, spider veins;

• violation of the integrity of the skin: wounds, scratches, cuts, burns;
• inflammation accompanied by suppuration;
• the presence of an allergic reaction to the components of the product;
• herpetic rashes;
• chronic dermatitis in the acute phase;
• severely dry or sagging skin.

If you are not sure that the peeling roll will not cause an allergy, you must do an allergy skin test before use.

How often can I use it?

You should not apply peeling rolls too often. The manufacturer recommends using them according to the following scheme:

The positive effect of using each drug becomes noticeable immediately. The skin of the face acquires an even tone, and the oily sheen disappears. To get rid of blackheads or acne, you will need 3-4 sessions.

What effect do we get (8 useful properties)

The cosmetic product has a combined effect. With regular use, after 1-2 weeks you can notice positive changes on the skin:

1. Deep cleansing of the epidermis from impurities, sebum, and cosmetic residues.
2. Reducing the severity of blackheads.
3. Light rejuvenating effect. By removing the upper keratinized layer, the cosmetic product promotes the formation of new young cells, which increase the firmness and elasticity of the epidermis.
4. The skin becomes softer and more delicate.
5. Sebum production slows down.
6. Skin tone and relief are evened out.
7. The epidermis looks healthy, hydrated, well-groomed and younger.
8. The severity of inflammatory processes decreases.

What is included in the list of contraindications

Contraindications for home cleaning are standard for all types of peeling. The main restrictions on the use of Propeller products are:

• the presence of open wounds, abrasions, scratches on the face;
• active stage of herpes;
• any types of burns;
• purulent rashes;
• dermatitis.

The cleansing procedure should not be carried out during pregnancy. Otherwise, the risk of developing pigmented areas of the skin increases. Also, you should not use peeling rays in childhood.

How to use the product at home

The product is used depending on the conditions stated by the manufacturer. Some drugs can only be applied to dry skin, while some, on the contrary, are applied to the dermis moistened or moistened with water. However, in any case, the integument must be pre-cleaned; only after this condition is met should the procedure be resorted to.

After the preparatory stage is left behind, you can begin to apply the composition. For this purpose, you need to take a cotton pad and apply a peeling roll on it and then thoroughly coat the problem areas of the skin with the composition. As a rule, the entire face is treated, only areas with very delicate skin around the eyes are avoided.

The applied product is gradually rolled off using the same cotton pad. The movements should be made in a circular manner so that the cellulose component comes into contact with the dirt on the skin and forms small lumps. This is where the name of peeling comes from - rolling. Upon completion of the cleansing process, the face must be washed with warm water to remove any remaining product from the skin. And since all the products described dry out the skin, the dermis must be additionally treated with a moisturizer or use a special tonic when washing.

Is there a risk of side effects?

Both products from the “Propeller” series are positioned by the manufacturer as the safest possible. The likelihood of developing undesirable reactions (redness, peeling, irritation) is present only in case of abuse of peelings or their use against the background of existing contraindications.

When carrying out a cosmetic procedure, it is necessary to avoid contact of peeling agents with damaged areas of the skin. Contact of the roller with such areas of the face can significantly intensify the inflammatory process.

Experts' opinions on Propeller products

Cosmetologists consider peeling rolls as a good home method for cleansing and rejuvenating the skin. The drug with salicylic acid is especially useful for youth problems; it can effectively combat blackheads, pimples, and enlarged pores. A product containing bamboo charcoal provides a good micro-massage of the dermis and helps resist aging.

Reviews of Propeller products say the following: both drugs are suitable only for superficial care carried out at home. If there are serious flaws in appearance, the products in question are not able to provide a lasting result. To eliminate such defects, a course of professional procedures in a beauty salon will be required.

Types of peeling, composition

Peeling rolls under the Propeller brand are available on the market in 2 types: salicylic and with bamboo charcoal. These products differ in composition, but are identical in their effect.

Salicylic peeling

The product delicately cleanses pores without damaging or irritating the skin. During its production, “smart peeling” technology was used, which helps smooth out the surface and eliminate oily sheen, and also prevents the appearance of acne. The effectiveness of cleansing is achieved through the use of BIO salicylate in combination with lactulose.

BIO salicylate is a mixture of willow bark extract and salicylic acid. It cleanses pores efficiently, normalizes the function of the sebaceous glands and has a mattifying effect. The main active ingredient is salicylic acid.

It performs the following functions:

• breaks the connection between the cells of the stratum corneum, as a result of which they peel off more easily;
• destroys proteins of pathogenic bacteria that cause inflammation;
• softening sebaceous plugs, penetrates deep into pores;
• brightens the skin.

Lactulose is a component that has no analogues and is included in all products produced under the Propeller Immuno brand. Having a strong antimicrobial effect, it strengthens the barrier qualities of the epidermis, prevents the growth of bacteria and stops the spread of acne.

Tool parameters:

Bamboo charcoal product

The product is a black gel. It is easy to apply and effectively removes impurities, dead cells and sebum. Mattifies the surface, helps restore color and texture. The effective cleansing effect is due to a unique composition, which includes bamboo charcoal and fruit alpha hydroxy acids.

Lactic or lactic acid is the main active ingredient; it performs the following functions:

• breaks the connections between the protective scales that form the upper layer of the epidermis;
• stimulates regeneration processes, due to which skin rejuvenation occurs;
• evens out the profile, smoothing out small wrinkles and polishing irregularities;
• restores water balance;
• acts as a strong antioxidant.

Activated bamboo charcoal is known for its cleansing, moisturizing and bactericidal properties, which is why it is actively used in various cosmetics.

Its fine particles effectively absorb excess sebum, bacteria and toxins, which are the main causes of acne.

A peeling roll based on it delicately removes dead epidermal cells without injury or irritation.

Fruit alpha hydroxy acids are one of the most popular components used in the production of cosmetics. They correct the condition of the dermis at the molecular, cellular and tissue level.

AHA acids not only have cleansing, exfoliating, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, but also stimulate collagen synthesis, which has a positive effect on skin condition.

Many users note that it is better to apply the peeling gel with bamboo charcoal while wearing disposable gloves, because the gel gets under the nails and stains them black. The shelf life of peeling products under the Propeller brand is 2 years. Country of origin: Russia.
