Almond peeling, 30ml, KOSMOTEROS

Kosmoteros yellow peeling, a chemical type of exfoliation, allows for superficial exfoliation as a result of the action of retinoic acid.

The main active ingredient of this composition is a derivative of vitamin A; it has more pronounced exfoliating properties than the vitamin itself. Retinoic acid causes damage to the surface layer of the epithelium, which, after a certain time after the procedure, begins to peel off and move away from the dermis. After the peeling is eliminated, you can see the result - young, elastic skin, glowing with health.

The principle of action and effectiveness of Kosmoteros yellow peeling

Important: Retinoic acid, when applied to the skin, gives it an intense yellow tint, which gives the procedure its name. This is normal, since retinoids are colored substances. After exfoliation is complete, the skin will have a natural color

Kosmoteros retinoic peeling is prescribed not only to improve the aesthetic appearance of the skin, it is used for therapeutic and preventive purposes. Indications for use:

therapy for dermatitis of varying degrees of complexity;
treatment of acne, post-acne;
preparation for surgical correction of the face;
age-related skin changes: loss of elasticity, wrinkles, dull dermis tone;
hyperkeratosis;
rosacea;
skin restoration after psoriasis;
uneven complexion;
prevention of skin diseases, prevention of neoplasms.

The solution to a complex of skin problems is solved thanks to the properties of retinoic acid:

Restores the natural barrier properties of the epithelium. Local immunity is strengthened, which effectively fights the growth and reproduction of bacteria that provoke inflammation.
Promotes the restoration of epithelial tissue, damage to which is a consequence of dermatological diseases. Scars and pigmentation become less noticeable or disappear completely.
Evens out and brightens skin tone. Retinoic acid inhibits the activity of an enzyme that is involved in the formation of the melanin pigment.
Protects the skin from negative environmental factors and fights free radicals. Retinoids actively protect skin cells from destruction, prevent the formation of tumors, prolong youth and remove toxic substances from tissues.

The Kosmoteros Yellow Peel, which has a simple protocol, is considered a “weekend exfoliation.” You can do it on the weekend, and by the beginning of the work week go to work with a young, radiant health face.

Advantages and disadvantages

Problematic skin may be the result of a hidden allergic reaction. Therefore, before deciding on a yellow chemical peel, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist.

There are also cases in which it is impossible to cleanse the face using retinoic peeling.

Yellow peeling has its advantages:

acts less aggressively than cleaning with other types of acids;
noticeable lifting effect;
the result lasts up to 3 months;
can be used as an additive to recipes for multi-component care products.

The disadvantages of Cosmoteros include:

you need to leave it on your face for a long time before washing it off;
during the recovery period, the skin has an unattractive appearance;
improper use can result in burns;
price.

Side effects from almond peeling are minor and rare. But it’s better to know the main disadvantages in order to be prepared for the consequences and eliminate them in time:

Redness (clearly manifested immediately after the procedure);
Peeling (the skin peels off for several days, you need to carefully choose the date so as not to miss holidays or important events);
Unpleasant sensations (unpleasant tingling is felt in the first minutes of applying the mixture);
Strong aroma (the persistent smell of acetone during peeling rushes into the nose; it is better to supplement the composition with other components to soften the aroma);
Careful aftercare (applying soothing masks to the skin for several days after visiting a cosmetologist).

It is better to protect delicate areas with a rich cream; this will protect them from aggressive effects, acid getting into the eyes, and onto the mucous membrane.

Contraindications

Retinoic peeling is a chemical effect on the skin that injures the upper layer of the epidermis. Therefore, there are a number of contraindications to the procedure:

pregnancy planning, prenatal period and lactation;
liver dysfunction;
excess retinol in the body;
antibiotic therapy;
presence of wounds, cuts, burns on the skin;
newly acquired tan;
skin diseases caused by bacteria and viruses;
allergic reactions to the components in the exfoliation mixture.

Important: even if you have never noticed allergic reactions, be sure to test the yellow peeling composition on a small area of skin. If after 15-20 minutes redness, rashes, and itching do not appear on the dermis, then exfoliation can be done without fear.

Vitamin A tends to accumulate in the body, leading to hypervitaminosis conditions:

dry and itchy skin, rash, redness, dermatitis;
dry mucous membranes and intolerance to contact lenses;
spontaneous hyperthermia;
the appearance of pigment spots.

To prevent such conditions from arising, you need to carefully discuss nutrition, taking multivitamin preparations and creams with retinoids with your cosmetologist-dermatologist during the period of preparation for peeling.

Efficiency of use

If yellow chemical peeling is done correctly, then after the recovery period the following changes occur in the skin:

color improves;
the surface is leveled;
signs of rosacea decrease;
The production of collagen and elastin increases, resulting in skin rejuvenation and a noticeable lifting effect.

To achieve the desired result, you should complete a basic course, which includes 3 to 4 sessions every 1.5–2 months. In total, such courses can be taken no more than 2 times a year.

Procedure protocol

Yellow peeling Kosmoteros includes several stages in the protocol:

The preparatory stage is aimed at softening and removing dead epithelial cells so that exfoliation is more effective. Sensitive and dry skin does not require preparation. The preparation stage may include the following procedures:

the use of creams or peelings based on fruit acids;
using creams to soften the upper epidermis.

Important: do not sunbathe or use laser exfoliation before yellow peeling!

Carrying out the retinoic peeling procedure:

applying glycolic acid to the face;
using retinoic acid to exfoliate the face;
maintaining a certain time;
rinsing the product from the skin.

The cosmetologist selects the concentration of retinoic acid, as well as the duration of exposure, on an individual basis. Depending on the depth of exposure of the composition, superficial or medium exfoliation can be carried out. On the 2-3rd day the skin begins to peel off and come off.

Important! The crusts that form after exfoliation cannot be removed with your hands or exfoliated with scrubs. This can lead to the formation of scars and scars.

The cosmetologist will tell you how to properly do Kosmoteros yellow peeling and determine the course of procedures. There is a “two-day cleanse”, during which the composition is applied and washed off over 2 days. The effect of the procedure lasts from six months to a year. After this period, exfoliation with retinoids can be repeated.

How to care for your skin after Cosmoteros treatments?

The appearance of tightness after exfoliation turns into redness and flaking of the skin. During this period, dead cells exfoliate, giving way to young tissue. Experts do not recommend facilitating this natural process.

After Kosmoteros retinoic peeling, it is prohibited to use scrubs. Abrasive particles can damage developing young cells, leading to scar formation. Cosmetologists allow the use of creams with a moisturizing effect and masks with enzymes. The use of products with a sun protection factor is a prerequisite if exfoliation was carried out in the spring and summer.

The first seven days after exfoliation with retinoic acid, Cosmotherios is not recommended:

Take a steam bath or sauna, go to the gym. During these procedures, intense sweating occurs, which interferes with the natural process of exfoliation and the formation of new tissue. Moisturized skin is a fertile environment for the development of bacteria, which can cause inflammation. In addition, steam baths and exercise prolong the period of skin redness.
Visit pools, swim in open water. These objects are sources of infection for skin weakened by chemical exposure.
Visit the solarium, the beach. Injured skin has increased sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation, which can lead to pigmentation.

The retinoic peeling procedure has a short recovery period. In 2-3 days, redness and peeling disappear, and the woman can enjoy the result.

Cost of sessions

As with other self-care activities, doing almond peeling is quite expensive. Its price depends on the location, choice of products, and the assistance of a beauty clinic employee. The cost in the salon is much higher than at home: one visit costs about 6,000 rubles, and you often have to pay extra for the preparatory stage, various creams, masks. But an experienced specialist gives a guarantee and monitors the condition of the skin. Moreover, you can get a discount for paying for the entire course at once.

You can do it at home cheaper, the main thing is to choose the right product. If you want to save money, you can buy proven drugs on the Internet, but only if the supplier is trusted and provides certificates. Then the price will drop by almost 2 times, and you won’t have to pay for the work. In addition, it is difficult to find products on sale that can cause significant harm: they are all gentle and suitable for home use.

Summary

Women who decide to use retinol facial peeling for the first time should definitely consult a cosmetologist. The specialist will evaluate all the features and give a recommendation: what concentration of retinoic acid should be used and how long to keep the composition on the skin.

In some cases of severe forms of acne, facial treatment in the form of a yellow peel is combined with oral vitamin A. The synergy of methods usually gives a good effect, but women should be careful and not plan pregnancy during the period of therapy and the next 6 months.

After Kosmoteros yellow peeling, which is considered the mildest in impact, rehabilitation is short and painless. It has been successfully used by women all over the world and are satisfied with the results. Young, clear skin, an even complexion and lack of inflammation are all these benefits of exfoliation that make it popular.

Varieties

The versatility of the components of mandelic acid allows you to combine them with other drugs and acids. This is how a combined facial cleansing is performed, which gives a complex effect on the skin.

Lactic acid gently treats the surface; it is added for moisturizing and softening effects. When used independently, it is ineffective; it is used for pre-peeling or in combination with other acids. Combination with phenylglycolic acid will give an amazing effect: the structure of the skin will be changed, but its surface will retain a moisturized, well-groomed appearance.

Another acid that goes well with almond acid is malic acid. It is rich in amino acids that fight rosacea and remove acne. Peeling may begin after a few days, at which time skin hydration increases (its deep hydration). The session lasts about an hour, the structure is enriched with vitamins and minerals.

This is a more severe option; due to the aggressive effects of salicylic acid, the proportions must be precisely controlled and applied carefully. It removes bumps and makes the skin smooth. The color should also be equal: age spots and redness will go away.
