Today we will learn how to make retinoic peeling at home. In principle, I already wrote about this in the topic, but here is more about it.

I read how people use Differin or on their skin, and found a couple of interesting points. More on the funny stuff later, but this moment really intrigued me. It turns out that an overdose of Differin may be regarded as a retinoic peel. The fact is that some people use it in mega doses. I'm telling you.

First, they wash themselves well, then they rub in the retinoid, and then apply a thick layer of it on top and leave it on the skin... Everyone’s reaction is different:

• normal,
• irritation,
• peeling redness,
• burning…

But everyone notices that after such peeling the face acquires an even texture...

Yesterday I applied a large dose of Clensite and received a retinoic peel. After about 2 - 3 hours I noticed it. Then I changed my mind about experimenting further and washed my face with Setaphile.

In the morning there was no redness, but the skin became prone to irritation - it reacted to shaving with redness and tingling. By evening I was almost back to normal. Of the positive effects of large doses, only peeling was noted, that is, it became smooth and clean, small ones should definitely be removed” - this is just one of the points.

Or here's another one.

I happened to apply Differin to my face a couple of times (when I cut the tube to smear the leftovers), the effect is really like peeling with retinoids. After a couple of days, the top layer peels off quickly and evenly, leaving smooth, even skin. comedones (if any) are removed very easily.

Retinoid toxicity

At first I didn’t pay attention to it, but then the reviews became more frequent. I don’t know myself, I haven’t tried it, as my skin breaks out even with a thin layer of differin. Still, this remedy is not mine. There was a heated discussion about the toxicity of retinoids to the skin, in particular adapolene and all retinoid derivatives. I wrote a letter to Maksik (doctor) regarding retinoids, with the following content:

Tell me, everyone knows that retinoids taken internally are very toxic. What can you say about the new generation of retinoids (adapalene) and even the old ones (retinoic ointment), if they are applied to the skin, how they affect the general condition and acne. That is, there is a toxic effect on the body?

They still penetrate inside, through the skin, that is, there is an accumulation in the body, otherwise, I think, it was not simply prohibited for pregnant women.

This is what he replied:

Not everything in this world is clear! BUT.
You are confusing the concepts of toxicity and teratogenicity.
Adapalene has very low absorption when applied topically and practically does not enter the systemic circulation. To date, no toxic or teratogenic effects have been identified when applied topically. But I personally would not use it during pregnancy :) and breastfeeding :) (it is also unknown whether it passes into breast milk). And in my opinion, you can somehow manage without it for a year, use something safe. Why take the risk? But from the point of view of toxicity, when applied topically, this is the safest retinoid.

As for retinoic ointment, its active ingredient is isotretinoin. And it is ABSOLUTELY teratogenic. Therefore, no matter how it penetrates the skin (and it is absorbed in negligible quantities), its use is prohibited during pregnancy. The toxicity of isotretinoin when taken orally is quite low and, if symptoms of hepatotoxicity develop, they are dose-dependent and completely reversible. There are no known cases of isotretinoin toxicity when used topically.

I even managed to find people willing to use Differin for wrinkles, under the eyes... - Horror... Don’t ever do that!

Pearls about Differin

“I understand that you have to sit on Klenzit.” And it’s like a drug - if it’s there, it’s good, if it’s not, everything’s bad again.

— You won’t get a “high” from Differin...

“I’m scared of the possibility of an exacerbation from adapalene; I wouldn’t want to look like a Christmas tree.”

If you decide to try retinoic peeling at home, be very careful, as the result is not always what we want.

Peeling is rightfully considered an integral element of complete skin care.

After all, this procedure helps to get rid of small wrinkles in a short time.

Let's figure out what this procedure is, how and how many times retinoic peeling can be done, and whether it is possible to use yellow cleansing when planning a pregnancy.

Retinoic peeling can be called one of the most popular chemical peels due to its high efficiency and low trauma; the results of the procedure are comparable to the effects of expensive injection techniques. Many people are interested in whether it is possible to use retinol at home?

Since retinoic acid enters into a complex chemical reaction with the skin, it is better to entrust the procedure to professionals in a beauty salon.

Let's look at the pros and cons of peeling, and what results can be achieved with it.

Retinol cleansing - what is it?

Retinoic peels are sometimes called yellow peels due to their ability to stain the skin. The procedure is aimed at exfoliating dead skin cells.

After peeling, the skin takes on a “renewed” appearance, as young cells appear on the surface, undamaged by the negative effects of the environment.

Retinoic peeling can be classified as a superficial-medium peeling; exfoliation affects not only the stratum corneum, but also part of the epidermis and the capillaries that supply it with blood.

The active substance used during the procedure stimulates cells to divide, helping to restore skin density. In addition, retinol counteracts the influence of enzymes that destroy elastin and collagen molecules.

Compound

The very name of the procedure suggests that it is based on the use of retinoic acid, that is, an artificial analogue of vitamin A.

The concentration of retinol can be different - from 5 to 10 percent.

In addition, auxiliary acids are used in peeling:

• phytic;
• ascorbic acid;
• azelaic.

In the complex, the acids have a pronounced rejuvenating effect:

• exfoliate the skin, stimulating the launch of regenerative processes;
• protect cells from the adverse effects of free radicals;
• restore the density and elasticity of the epidermis.

Advantages and disadvantages

It is the numerous benefits that make yellow peeling with retinoic acid such a popular procedure:

• high efficiency, superior to the achievements of softer peelings;
• painlessness;
• fast recovery period;
• absence of unpleasant complications;
• the ability to perform the procedure in the summer without the risk of skin damage.

The disadvantage is that after exposure to retinol, the skin acquires a yellow tint, which, combined with severe peeling, does not allow one to lead a normal lifestyle.

In addition, a high concentration of retinol has an ambiguous effect on the human body, so the procedure has many contraindications.

Indications and contraindications for retinoic resurfacing

Yellow peeling is most often used to rejuvenate the face, neck, décolleté and hands. The procedure is recommended for mature ladies, but it is not contraindicated at a young age - with excessive formation of freckles or keratosis.

Good results can be obtained in the following cases:

• facial wrinkles;
• excessive pigmentation;
• photoaging;
• keratosis;
• acne marks or scars;
• blackheads

The procedure is strictly contraindicated for pregnant and lactating women, as well as for those planning a pregnancy in the next year - this is due to the teratogenic effect of retinol on the fetus.

You should not resort to peeling if you have warts and wounds on the face, people with a weakened liver, and those who are taking medications that are not compatible with vitamin A.

Those who are prone to allergies should also be careful.

Preparation and stages of the procedure

To achieve a noticeable result, a fairly long preparatory period is required - from two to four weeks. First of all, it depends on the skin type you have. For example, the Asian type has increased sensitivity to the drug, and in this case, long-term preparation is simply necessary.

A doctor will help you assess the condition of your skin and determine whether it belongs to one type or another during a preliminary examination.

The specialist prescribes home use of creams and masks with low concentrations of vitamin A to soften the skin and prepare it for peeling.

In addition, the doctor must ask what medications you are taking and whether you are planning to conceive a child in the near future.

If it turns out that the patient suffers from herpes, then to prevent rashes it will be necessary to take an antiviral drug even before the procedure itself.

During peeling, the specialist carefully removes makeup from the face and applies a mixture of salicylic and glycolic acid, which help quickly exfoliate dead skin cells. Then retinoic acid is applied - even such a sensitive area as the area around the eyes is covered with the composition.

Further, depending on the concentration of the mixture, the active substance is either washed off after twenty minutes or remains on the face for several hours. After removing the acid, the skin must be moisturized with a product prescribed by a specialist.

and in what cases it applies, you can find out on our website.

Restoration and care of facial skin after

Before the procedure, be sure to ask your doctor how to care for your face after yellow peeling. For several days after peeling, the epidermis intensively peels off, disappearing into transparent films. At this time, slight itching and discomfort are possible.

The skin may differ in shade in those places where the old layer has not yet come off. You should not speed up the process on your own; let the keratinized scales come off gradually. In the post-peeling period after yellow peeling, it is extremely important to use care products recommended by a specialist.

At the end of peeling (which usually takes from 3 to 7 days), young cells remain on the surface of the epidermis, which do not yet have sufficient protection from the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation.

Therefore, the first weeks after the procedure, the use of sunscreen is simply necessary. It is also advisable to change your regular foundation to one that can withstand ultraviolet radiation.

It is not recommended to use other abrasive procedures until the end of the course; washing is allowed only with products for sensitive skin. During the procedure, it is not advisable to resort to hair coloring or perm, and you should not use cosmetics containing vitamin A or its analogues.

Look at the photo to see how the skin peeling stage goes after yellow peeling:

Effect

Even at the stage of peeling, the difference between aging and young skin is clearly noticeable:

• healthy color is restored;
• wrinkles are smoothed out;
• deep folds become less pronounced;
• Freckles and age spots disappear;
• acne spots or scars become less noticeable;
• dryness and flaking are eliminated.

To better understand what results chemical yellow facial peeling gives, you should read the reviews of those who have tried the method (they are presented at the end of the article) and look at the before and after photos:

Possible complications and consequences

After peeling, many people experience a feeling of tightness and dryness of the skin; cosmetic products prescribed by a doctor will help cope with these problems.

There may be slight swelling or redness - these phenomena are temporary and will go away in a few days. Most often, complications arise when yellow peeling is performed at home. Incorrectly calculated concentration of the active substance, lack of a proper preparatory period - all this can lead to burns, inflammation and severe itching.

It is possible that the body may have a negative reaction to the combination of retinol and the medication you are taking. To minimize the risk of possible complications, entrust the delicate procedure to a qualified specialist.

Duration of the course and prices in salons

Many people are interested in the question: how often can retinoic peeling be done and how expensive will yellow peeling be? Let's figure it out together.

The required course usually includes from 3 to 5 procedures, with an average interval of two weeks. If peeling is intended more for the prevention of aging, then you can get by with one procedure.

The results last for at least five months; the course can be repeated only after six months. The average price for one retinoic peeling procedure ranges from 3 to 5 thousand.

But when calculating the full cost of the yellow cleansing course, do not forget to take into account the cost of care products during the recovery period - they usually cost from 5 to 10 thousand rubles.

In pursuit of beauty, women sometimes decide to make the most unimaginable sacrifices. If you are not afraid of the prospect of peeling skin and the inability to leave the house for several days, yellow peeling is suitable for you. And the reward for temporary inconvenience will be youthful, ruddy skin and a feeling of irresistibility.

Customers' opinions

And in conclusion, we suggest watching a video of how the retinoic (yellow) peeling procedure goes:

Effective retinoic peeling at home is possible, and this is evidenced by numerous reviews of women who practice this procedure on their own. But thinking that it is very easy to do is a mistake. You need to know a number of nuances to get the expected result.

If you have already decided to carry out cosmetic manipulations at home, let's study all the intricacies of the process. And let's start with the “basics”.

First of all, let's clarify the terminology. Yellow peeling is called retinol and retinoic. Many (even experts) equate these two procedures. Meanwhile, they have some differences. Thus, retinol peeling involves the use of vitamin A. Retinoic peeling is the treatment of the skin with retinoic acid, which contains retinoids - artificial substitutes for vitamin A.

The first option is softer and does not have such an aggressive effect on the epidermis. But at the same time, it is less effective in the presence of serious problems.

The second option can be classified as superficial-median procedures. Therefore, the impact is somewhat more powerful. However, such manipulation requires more careful preparation and longer recovery.

The principle of action of retinoic peeling is as follows: the active components, coming into contact with the skin, penetrate into the epidermal tissues. They regulate processes in cells and intercellular spaces, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, and have an exfoliating effect.

Yellow peeling at home can do the following:

• removing a layer of keratinized cells from the surface;
• improvement of oxygen metabolism, nutrient absorption;
• stimulation of the production of protein compounds responsible for the condition of the skin;
• activation of regenerative processes;
• comprehensive improvement of the epidermis;
• normalization of blood microcirculation;
• strengthening local immunity;
• improving skin hydration;
• lifting effect;
• alignment of microrelief and skin tone;
• removal of hyperpigmentation;
• prevention of inflammatory processes, acne, pimples, blackheads, comedones;
• prevention of skin cancer.

Before moving on to the question of how to do yellow peeling at home, let’s pay attention to the indications and contraindications.

Retinol peeling at home It is recommended for women aged 30-35 years. Cosmetologists say that there is no point in doing such a procedure for younger ladies without good reason. This is too aggressive for their skin.

Direct indications for peeling with retinol include the following conditions and defects of the epidermis:

• signs of photo and chronoaging;
• facial wrinkles and skin folds;
• loss of elasticity, sagging, sagging;
• change in the structure of the oval of the face;
• acne, comedones, sebaceous plugs, pimples, milliums;
• increased oily or dry skin;
• hyperkeratosis and keratomas;
• hyperpigmentation;
• scars, scars, post-acne.

Peeling with vitamin A or its derivatives at home will help to effectively cope with the above problems.

Manufacturers of cosmetics in the description of preparations for self-retinoic peeling indicate all the precautions that must be strictly observed.

As we have already found out, peeling with retinoic ointment at home, as well as other products containing vitamin A or its derivatives, is a useful and effective procedure. However, despite all the advantages, this type of cleansing, healing and rejuvenation of the skin has a number of contraindications that must be taken into account in order to exclude possible side effects.

Retinol peeling is prohibited in the following cases:

• during exacerbation of chronic diseases;
• at elevated body temperature, regardless of genesis;
• allergy to aspirin;
• individual intolerance to any of the components of the selected product;
• diseases of the respiratory tract, cardiovascular system, serious pathologies of the liver and kidneys;
• herpetic infection in the acute stage;
• damage to the integrity of the skin at the site of application of the working composition;
• dermatological diseases;
• oncology of any localization;
• pregnancy and lactation.

If you are taking medications containing vitamin A, the procedure is strictly prohibited, otherwise severe burns may occur. At least six months must pass after the course of such therapy.

Now let's move directly to the question of how to make yellow peeling with your own hands.

You can make retinoic peeling at home using ready-made preparations that are sold in pharmacies or beauty salons. This option is simple and the safest, since all components of the product are balanced. In the annotation, manufacturers indicate the concentration of acids, the presence of auxiliary components, and the protocol for the procedure itself.

Read the instructions carefully and follow all the advice. This minimizes the risk of unpleasant consequences such as burns, severe peeling, cracking of the skin, swelling, and hyperemia.

However, you can prepare the composition yourself from components purchased at the pharmacy. It is clear that retinoic acid will be the main component.

The simplest recipe for retinoic peeling:

• retinoic acid 20% - 3 ml.;
• distilled water – 3 ml.

Pour water into a non-metallic container and carefully add the acid (in exactly this order!) Using a soft fan brush, apply the composition to a previously prepared face and leave overnight. In the morning, rinse with plenty of cool water. To thoroughly remove any remaining product, use a makeup remover. Pay special attention to the area at the corners of the nose and along the hairline. Then lubricate your skin with rose oil - rub a few drops in your palms and apply to your face.

The composition of yellow peeling at home, which will effectively cope with excess oily skin:

• retinoic acid 10% - 1.5 ml.;
• salicylic acid – 1.5 ml.;
• distilled water – 3 ml.

First you need to carefully mix the acids in a glass or enamel bowl. Then pour the acid mixture into the water (not vice versa!). Apply an even layer to prepared facial skin with a cosmetic brush. Leave after drying for 7 hours. After this, rinse off with a cool rein and lubricate the skin with panthenol.

Retinoic peeling recipes very simple. But before applying the composition to the face, it is necessary to conduct a sensitivity test. To do this, place a drop of the product on the inner side of the elbow and leave for 6-7 hours. If there are no severe reactions or allergic manifestations after this time, it can be used for its intended purpose.

Preparation for peeling begins 2-4 weeks before the intended procedure. 4 weeks will be required if your skin is too tanned, oily, or there are signs of severe hyperkeratosis. In all other cases, pre-peeling care is halved.

Necessary:

• refuse to visit the solarium, bathhouse, sauna, and do not expose the skin to excessive sun exposure;
• do not use cosmetics containing highly concentrated acids;
• regularly apply cream with glycolic acid or retinols - this will help soften the stratum corneum of the epidermis. Then, when applying the composition, maximum impact is guaranteed.

Yellow peeling at home is practically no different from the same procedure in the salon. In particular, according to the rules of preparation for manipulation.

The protocol for the procedure itself is standard:

• cleansing from makeup, dust and dirt;
• surface treatment with an active composition;
• The exposure time depends on the chosen product. Manufacturers indicate this parameter in the finished product; when using a home remedy - an average of 5-7 hours;
• removal of workers. It is suggested to either rinse with plenty of cool water or wipe with a soda solution;
• application of cream - panthenol, a special post-peeling, moisturizing, nourishing cream. When purchasing a finished product, aftercare products may be included in the kit.

Note! During exposure, discomfort may occur in the form of burning, tightening, and tingling. As a rule, the burning and tingling sensation passes quickly, and tightness is quite normal. If the discomfort is too severe, you should immediately wash off the peeling composition and lubricate the skin with panthenol.

The rules for skin care after yellow peeling are no different from the standard rules for any chemical facial cleansing.

1. You should avoid visiting places with high humidity and temperature (sauna, bathhouse, swimming pool), and do not expose your skin to natural or artificial insolation. The time limit is at least a month.
2. Lubricate the skin with products containing panthenol or other products that promote rapid restoration of epidermal tissue.
3. To moisturize, use natural-based creams and thermal water. Maintain drinking regime.
4. Do not use scrubs (any kind) for at least a month.
5. Before going outside, be sure to apply sunscreen with an UV protection rating of at least 30.

Retinol facial peeling at home It's better to plan for the weekend. And even better - on vacation, so that you can fully recover and not have complexes due to the inevitable side effects (skin darkening, peeling).

Experts recommend chemical peelings in salons. This precaution is understandable. Acids are quite aggressive substances. And if something goes wrong, a professional will quickly understand the situation and be able to effectively neutralize the composition, which is difficult to achieve on their own.

• carry out the procedure during the season of high solar activity. It is better to postpone manipulations until autumn or winter;
• the interval between sessions is at least 3 weeks. The course averages 4 procedures. Can be repeated no more than once a year;
• a month before and a month after retinol peeling, do not use scrubs so as not to injure the skin;
• follow all rules of pre-peeling preparation and post-care.

Making yellow peeling at home is not that difficult. But how to carry out the procedure correctly, whether there are indications and contraindications, which home recipe or purchased product to choose - it is better to find out from a cosmetologist.

Conclusion

Yellow facial peeling at home is an excellent alternative to salon care. However, the result will be expected if all the nuances of the procedure are taken into account.

Cleansing, healing and rejuvenating the skin with retinoic acid or vitamin A derivatives will be effective if all rules and precautions are followed. After all, a woman’s face is her pride and the subject of constant worry. You should not conduct unjustified experiments with your appearance.

PEELING - third day after?? YELLOW PEELING. CREAMS after peeling - tested on myself

Retinoic (yellow) facial peeling - all the pros and cons of the popular procedure

Retinoic peel (also called yellow peel) is a method of chemical exfoliation of the skin. In cosmetology, this procedure is used to remove age spots, treat acne, and also to stimulate natural rejuvenation processes in the dermal tissues.

Yellow peeling - what is it?

Retinoic peeling is a chemical exfoliation procedure for the skin. The skin after retinoic peeling looks refreshed and well-groomed. The result is an improvement in its condition, strengthening of its protective functions, and prevention of the occurrence of neoplasms.

The exfoliant treatment area is the face (including eyelids), neck and décolleté, and hands.

Why is this type of peeling called yellow?

It got its name because of the characteristic color given to it by the main component, as well as one of the auxiliary ingredients - ascorbic acid.

Retinol or retinoic peeling?

A common misconception is to believe that these are the same procedure. However, in fact, these types of peeling differ from each other in composition. The main component of yellow peeling with retinol is vitamin A, and retinoic peeling is organic acid, which has a more intense healing effect on the skin.

• One-day. This procedure takes place in two stages: first, the peeling composition is applied to the skin in the salon, and then the client carries out a similar manipulation at home before going to bed.


• Two days. Due to the specific application technique, this type of peeling takes much longer - up to 4 hours. The exfoliant is applied and washed off alternately. At the final stage, the mask is left on the skin, and the client washes it off at home after 2 hours. The next day the procedure is repeated in the same sequence.

According to the depth of impact, yellow peeling can be superficial or medium. Superficial is suitable for thin skin (provided that you perform it no more than once a month) and is allowed for application to the area around the eyes.

The best remedy for freckles, age spots, and first wrinkles is a medium peeling. Its implementation is accompanied by pronounced peeling of the skin, which does not last long.

Indications for use

• hyperpigmentation;


• dull complexion and loss of skin turgor;


• acne and post-acne (scars, scars);


• photoaging or first wrinkles.

At what age is retinoic peeling allowed?

This procedure is useful for clients aged 25-50 years. Young people are encouraged to look for an alternative.

Photos before and after the procedures will demonstrate what the effect might be after a course of yellow peeling.

Contraindications and restrictions

A distinctive feature of yellow peeling is its embryotoxicity. Retinoic acid is dangerous for the development of the fetus and lingers in the dermal tissues for many months. Therefore, the procedure is prohibited during pregnancy and lactation.

How long can you not get pregnant after retinoic peeling?

Pregnancy should be planned 6-12 months after completion of the course of procedures.

Contraindications include:

• acute phase of chronic diseases;


• liver failure (peeling cannot be performed in case of hepatitis);


• viral or dermatological diseases (demodex, rosacea, eczema, atopic dermatitis);


• allergy to peeling components;


• herpes;


• taking retinoid medications;


• the presence of warts on the skin, as well as unhealed scratches and abrasions.

This procedure is prohibited in case of rosacea, as well as in the presence of a fresh tan.

Is yellow peel toxic?

This procedure can be dangerous if contraindications are not followed, as well as in the absence of a preparatory period.

When can I do it? Seasonal restrictions

During the post-peeling period, contact with sunlight is dangerous for unhealed skin. Therefore, in spring and summer it is better to refrain from carrying out a course of procedures.

Preparation for retinoic peeling and procedure protocol

Before you begin exfoliating sessions, you should prepare your skin for chemical exposure. Therefore, the cosmetologist prescribes light superficial peelings and home use of creams with glycolic acid no later than 2 weeks before the start of the course.

A week before the procedure, it is prohibited to scrub the skin, sunbathe or visit the solarium.

How to do yellow peeling in the salon: description of the procedure

What to do if there is no peeling after yellow peeling?

The reason for this may be the accumulation of a large number of keratinized cells on the surface of the epidermis. They act as a kind of “shield”, preventing the peeling agent from passing into the deeper layers of the skin.

Also, this phenomenon may be due to skin resistance - its increased density, which does not allow it to peel off under chemical influence.

• increasing the degree of exfoliation and the possible prescription of additional procedures;


• use of retinoic peeling with dimexide - a drug with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial action. This exfoliant penetrates deeper into the layers of the epidermis, improving metabolic processes and destroying pathogens.

How long does it take for skin to recover after peeling?

The optimal period is 2 weeks. After 14 days, you can attend other cosmetic procedures - for example, facial cleansing.

What to do after the procedure: post-peeling care

Therapeutic cosmetics: what to apply after the procedure

Skin care must be carried out using panthenol-based ointment. It must be applied the very next day after washing.

Additionally, you can use masks containing enzymes and sprays based on thermal water. Be sure to consult a cosmetologist when choosing care products.

Mandatory condition: before going outside, apply sunscreen to your face. You will have to protect your skin with this cosmetic product for a month.

• During the process of skin restoration, baths, saunas, swimming pools, as well as sunbathing and solariums are prohibited. It is also not recommended to play sports at this stage. Why? Steaming and increased sweating are dangerous for the skin and can cause complications.


• During the course, you cannot dye your hair or perm your hair, or use cosmetics containing vitamin A.

Is it possible to drink alcohol during the rehabilitation period?

Drinking alcoholic beverages, spicy foods and using spices is not recommended.

Are there any restrictions on medications?

It is not recommended to use hormonal drugs: they disrupt the skin's immunity, increasing the risk of developing dermatological or fungal infections. In addition, under their influence, dermal cells regenerate much more slowly.

All of the above restrictions are valid for a week while the peeling of the skin continues.

Side effects and how to eliminate them

If redness and peeling of the skin is a normal reaction to retinoic peeling, then itching, rash or increased pigmentation indicate violations of the rules of rehabilitation care.

How to distinguish temporary side effects from real complications?

Expected side effects (burning sensation, redness) usually disappear within a few hours or the first day after the procedure. If such symptoms worsen and do not go away, contact your esthetician immediately.

Common complications after yellow peeling:

• Pigmentation. The cause of its appearance may be irregular use of sunscreens, hormonal changes in the body, smoking or endocrine disorders. Solutions are medium peels, whitening masks, mesotherapy.


• Burn after peeling. The reason is an excess of acidity concentration or lack of pre-peeling preparation. The problem must be solved only with a competent cosmetologist!


• Weakened body immunity. Consult your doctor in advance about taking vitamin complexes.


• Pimples, increased acne. The reason is ignoring contraindications for liver dysfunction. Actions to eliminate it - consultation with a cosmetologist regarding taking medications and the advisability of continuing the course.

Duration of the course and frequency of sessions

What is good about yellow peeling: its course is kept to a minimum. It is believed that 3-5 procedures are sufficient to solve a cosmetic problem.

It is not advisable to conduct such sessions more than once a month. The interval between sessions may be shorter depending on individual factors. A course of procedures is carried out a maximum of 2 times a year.

Related and alternative procedures

A course of yellow peeling goes well with procedures such as facial mesotherapy and biorevitalization. This combination will help avoid drying out the skin and enhance the rejuvenating effect of cosmetic products.

The sequence of procedures is determined by the cosmetologist who conducts the treatment course. Often sessions of “beauty injections” are prescribed before peeling, but there are exceptions.

• Coral peeling is perfect for those with sensitive skin. There are fewer contraindications to its use, and it is permitted for liver diseases.


• An economical option is to treat acne with retinoic ointment. It contains retinoic acid in concentrations of 0.05% and 0.1%. This remedy is considered effective against acne and comedones, and in some cases as a prevention of the appearance of the first wrinkles.


• Glycolic peeling will provide gentler exfoliation of the skin, but will require a longer course of procedures.


• TCA peeling is an option for those who need more intense skin exfoliation and smoothing of the epidermis. However, such procedures will require a long recovery period.

Will home treatments replace professional peeling in a salon?

This is not to say that yellow peeling sessions at home will allow you to save on facial care. To exfoliate your skin yourself, you will need to purchase a set of peeling products, caring creams, and a glycolic acid solution.

Kits for home treatments are sold both in beauty salons and in specialized online stores. They can be supplemented with other cosmetics, but it is wiser to select them after consultation with a cosmetologist. Today, products for retinoic peeling are produced by many well-known brands of professional cosmetics, for example, Home Peel (Retinol peeling 5%).

If you are determined to carry out the procedure yourself, you cannot do without periodic visits to a cosmetologist. He will draw up an algorithm for preparing for the course and recommend how to care for your skin during the post-peeling period.

Arguments for and against yellow peeling

Retinoic peeling is a specific procedure that is best performed in a salon under the supervision of an experienced cosmetologist. Only under the constant supervision of a specialist will it benefit your skin.

• the short period is reduced to a minimum, for which this procedure is called “weekend peeling”;


• exfoliant removes scars and age spots;


• wrinkles after peeling procedures are smoothed out, and the skin becomes more elastic;


• sensations during application of the exfoliant are limited to only a slight burning sensation.

• high prices for the procedure;


• a large number of contraindications;


• prohibition on planning childbirth for 6-12 months after the course.

If you take care of your skin before and after the course in the correct way, the result will please you with the “minus 10 years” effect and the elimination of cosmetic imperfections.

How does yellow peeling (retinol) work?

Yellow peeling is a unique procedure that has no analogues in terms of effectiveness. Despite the length of the recovery period, which cannot be called pleasant, the effect is worth the effort and time, given that this procedure can be done independently at home. In addition, an attractive feature of “solar” skin cleansing is the minimal number of contraindications and rare negative consequences. In general, this procedure is recommended for everyone who wants to quickly and safely, and most importantly, improve the condition of their skin for a long time.

Composition of the mixture for “solar” peeling

There are two types of mixtures for the “yellow” procedure: with retinol of natural origin - natural - and with retinoic acid of a chemical composition. There is some confusion in different sources: either retinol or retinoic peeling is called. Retinol is with natural retinol, and retinoic is with synthetic.

Reviews about this “solar” procedure are mostly positive. As a rule, only those who fell into the hands of amateurs or decided to test the properties of retinoic acid on their own and ignored the rules of pre- or post-peel care are dissatisfied. More than 90% of clients are stunned by the effects of yellow peeling.

Yellow (retinoic) peeling, perfect face without pain and complications

Yellow or retinoic peeling (retinol) is one of the most popular facial procedures. The high popularity of the technique is accompanied by three factors: amazing results in cleansing and rejuvenating the skin, an affordable price and the low aggressiveness of the product used towards the skin. The procedure uses retinol or retinoic acid. These main components color the skin yellow, hence the second name of the peel - yellow.

Specifics of the procedure

Retinoic peeling (yellow peeling) is a type of skin cleansing that allows you not only to exfoliate dead, non-working particles of the epidermis, but also to correct age-related imperfections on the face, heal the integument and partially whiten it.

The secret to the popularity of the technique lies in the most delicate effect of the chemical composition on the skin. The main active ingredient is retinol or retinoic acid. Getting into the epidermal cell, they activate intracellular processes, while minimally damaging the integrity of the integument. To a greater extent, the effect of retinol can be compared with steroid and thyroid hormones.

If the main active ingredient in the product used is retinol, then the procedure is called retinol peeling. When cleansing is performed with retinoic acid, it is called retinoic peeling.

Another advantage of peeling with retinol or retinoic acid is the short rehabilitation period. Despite the fact that retinoic (retinol) facial peeling in terms of the depth of impact is classified as a superficial-medium procedure, active peeling lasts only 3–7 days. It is also worth noting that the risk of complications is minimal.

Note! Yellow chemical peel can be used for all skin types, even sensitive ones. There are also no restrictions on the patient's age.

Composition and benefits for the skin

To carry out retinoic peeling, special cosmetic products filled with retinoic acid are used. Retinoic acid belongs to the group of retinoids and is a synthetic analogue of vitamin A. Unlike retinol, it provides a pronounced exfoliating effect.

Among the beneficial properties of retinoic acid for the skin, it is worth highlighting the following:

1. Stimulates skin rejuvenation. Retinoic peeling ensures rapid division and renewal of epidermal cells, stimulates the synthesis of collagen and elastin proteins. In addition, the action of retinoic acid is aimed at stabilizing the membranes of epidermal cells and enhancing their protection from the negative effects of free radicals.


2. Increases the protective function of the skin. After acid exposure, the skin barrier is strengthened, the immunity of epidermal cells is increased, and the risk of tissue infection is reduced. This property ensures rapid recovery with minimal risk of wound suppuration, and also prevents acne in the future.


3. Heals the epidermis. Retinoic acid is an excellent helper in the fight against acne, acne and a number of skin diseases (psoriasis, dermatitis). The peculiarity of this treatment is that there are no pigment spots left after the ulcers have healed.


4. Evens out skin tone and whitens it. Retinoids block the activity of tyrazinose (an enzyme responsible for the production of melanin).


5. Prevents the formation of tumors. Vitamin A and its derivatives actively fight against atypical cells that cause the development of skin cancer, the appearance of benign and malignant formations.

The significant effect of retinol is complemented by auxiliary components. These include phytic, ascorbic and azelaic acids. In combination, these substances provide a pronounced rejuvenating effect, heal and strengthen the skin.

Types of retinoic peels

In cosmetology, there are two options for retinoic peeling:

• one-day - when the procedure is performed in one day. In this case, the peeling mask is washed off only 12 hours after application;


• two-day - involves exfoliation for 2 days in a row. A cosmetologist in a beauty salon works the face with a peeling product 2-3 times, rinsing it off before each application. The client washes off the last peeling mask independently after 2 hours, but the procedure should be repeated the next day.

If you do not have the opportunity to visit a beauty salon two days in a row, go for a one-day peeling. But keep in mind that you will need to go through half the day with a yellow face.

Advantages and disadvantages of the procedure

Yellow facial peeling has its pros and cons. Take them into account when choosing this cleansing technique.

• exposure to retinoic acid does not cause burning, pain or discomfort in the patient;


• retinoic peeling has a short recovery period with minimal risk of complications;


• pronounced effect after the first procedure;


• has no restrictions on the patient’s skin type and age;


• solves a wide range of skin problems, heals and rejuvenates them;


• the full course of transformation will not take much time; to achieve the desired effect, no more than 5 procedures will be required;


• can be carried out in the summer.

Interesting fact! The rejuvenating effect of retinoids used for yellow facial peeling is observed even after the completion of the rehabilitation period. As a rule, the process of skin renewal continues for 3–4 months after chemical exposure.

Despite a number of advantages, the procedure also has negative aspects. These include:

• The peeling mask is washed off the face by the patient independently, at home. The inconvenience is that for several hours you will have to walk for a long time with a yellow face or visit a beauty salon two days in a row;


• to achieve greater results, pre-peel preparation will be required;


• after yellow peeling, the face may itch;


• Despite the fact that the procedure can be carried out in the summer, you still cannot immediately go to the sea after it.

What changes to expect on your face

Yellow facial peeling is a quick and painless way to forget about many skin problems that prevent you from looking your best. After the first procedure you can expect the following changes:

• the face looks refreshed and healthy;


• Freckles and various types of age spots (age spots, sun spots, etc.) are lightened;


• There is a reduction in acne and inflamed pimples. For some time after the procedure, the acne problem will completely disappear;


• the skin becomes smooth, without large creases, wrinkles and stretch marks;


• The tone and elasticity of the integument increases due to accelerated neocollagenesis.

Attention! Retinoic peeling helps reduce the number of atypical cells. This fact reduces the patient’s risk of developing skin cancer several times.

Retinoic peeling can be done at any age, regardless of the type of skin. This procedure will provide a healthy and fresh look, restore the skin to its former elasticity and firmness, and is also suitable for solving health problems.

The main indications for the use of cleansing and healing techniques:

• decreased collagen production, which leads to rapid withering of the integument, drooping tissue in the cheekbone area;


• increased dryness and oiliness of the epidermis;


• wrinkles, skin creases and other uneven terrain;


• freckles, age spots on the face, as a result of age-related changes or a reaction to solar activity;


• clogged pores, comedones;


• gray and unhealthy complexion;


• signs of skin photoaging;


• hyperkeratosis on the face;


• acne and post-acne;


• acne and some dermatological diseases.

For an accurate assessment of your skin's condition, consult a cosmetologist. He will determine how often you can peel and how many procedures will be needed to solve your problem, and will prescribe his recommendations for skin care after yellow peeling.

Contraindications

Pre-peeling preparation begins several weeks before the intended procedure (2–4 weeks depending on skin type) and consists of the following actions:

1. Go through a series of examinations to ensure there are no contraindications; the cosmetologist will also study your medical history and carefully examine the condition of the skin.


2. A test for an allergic reaction is required to prevent irritation of the skin and complications of skin problems during the exfoliation process.


3. To loosen and soften the stratum corneum of the epidermis and thereby ensure a deeper effect of the peeling product, it is recommended to add cosmetics based on fruit acids to your daily care. In this case, creams containing retinoids in the range of 0.025-0.1% will be useful.


4. For patients suffering from excessive dryness of the skin, it is better to first carry out biorevitalization or mesotherapy. This will also increase the immunity of epidermal cells and prevent the development of complications.


5. Patients prone to herpes rashes may be prescribed antiherpetic medications for some time.


6. It is unacceptable to exfoliate with acids after sunbathing, so a few weeks before peeling, postpone going to the solarium and do not sunbathe.

Additional measures to prepare the skin for cleansing are determined by a specialist after a detailed analysis of the patient’s skin condition, age and complexity of the problem.

Procedure protocol

When preparations for facial peeling have been completed, you can begin cleansing. Yellow peeling is done in a beauty salon and at home. If you are confident in your own strengths and skills, you can safely carry out the cleaning yourself. To be sure that your actions are correct, first visit a cosmetologist, clarify the details of exfoliation and listen to the specialist’s recommendations for further care.

The retinoic peeling protocol involves the following procedure:

1. Remnants of makeup, dust, particles of dirt and grease are removed from the surface.


2. Next, a peeling agent is applied to the cleaned area. Outwardly, it looks like a yellow mask.


3. Further actions depend on the selected peeling agent, as well as the manufacturer’s instructions. If peeling is intended for one day, then the patient goes home, and after the time specified in the instructions for the product, washes off the peeling mask from the face. If you chose the two-day option, then after a short period of time the cosmetologist washes off the mask and applies the peeling again. The client also goes home, where he washes off the remaining product. The next day the procedures are repeated.

How long to keep the composition on the face and how many times to repeat applications is specified by the manufacturer in the instructions for use. Therefore, carefully study the instructions included with the drug so as not to provoke unpleasant consequences and not to harm yourself!

Let's talk about manufacturing companies

Today, the range of cleansing and facial care products is numerous. Your task is not to make a mistake in choosing and to do the procedure correctly. Manufacturers of retinoic peeling that are in demand on the cosmetology market include Mediderma, Mene & Moy System, Cosmoteros Professionel, Martinex and other companies. They will be discussed further.

Mediderma is a high-quality time-tested nanocosmetics. The manufacturer pleases its customers with the latest developments in the field of healing, cleansing and rejuvenating the skin. The Spanish company has also successfully combined these 3 qualities in one retinol peeling cream, Retises Forte Cream.

This drug is active due to its balanced composition. The action of retinol (10%) is complemented by lactic acid, it softens and moisturizes the skin. Concentrated vitamin E helps enhance the antioxidant and healing effect of the product. Peeling cream is easy to apply, gently and effectively affects problem areas. It can be used on the face and body. The drug has especially proven itself in the matter of skin rejuvenation; in particular, it is good in the fight against stretch marks and wrinkles.

To eliminate minor defects in the epidermis, the manufacturer offers a less aggressive product, Retises CT - Yellow Peel. In this preparation, the concentration of retinol is 4% and lactic acid is 15%. The composition also includes tartaric acid, ascorbide glucoside and plant extracts.

Cosmoteros Professionel

Kosmoteros Glycos TM Cryctal Chemical Peeling (yellow) - allows you to perform medium facial peeling. Despite deep penetration, the product can be used by representatives of young and sensitive skin. The main active component of the drug is trans-retinoic acid (5%). Its action is harmoniously complemented by beta-carotene, vitamins E, C.

The manufacturer insists that peeling with this drug is carried out in courses, the interval between them should be at least six months. The product is intended for professional use only.

Mene & Moy System

Yellow peeling Mene & Moy System is considered one of the leaders among retinoic peels. The unique formula, proposed by Romulus Mene from Rio de Janeiro, gently affects dead cells of the epidermis, stimulates intracellular processes and neocollagenesis.

In addition to the retinoic ingredient, the composition includes kojic, azelaic, ascorbic and phytic acids. In combination, the acidic components provide instant transformation, and patients observe the results and positive trends in improving the quality and structure of the skin for another six months after the last peeling.

The high price of the drug justifies the effect after the procedure, lightness and tenderness, smoothness and freshness of the skin after a course of exfoliation.

Cosmetics laboratory "Arcadia"

In the global cosmetology market, the Arcadia beauty laboratory has won recognition among Russian manufacturers. Her orange Carrot's peel contains retinol, proretinol (beta-carotene) and retinol esters. The composition of these active ingredients provides high results. A peculiarity of using the product is a moderate yellowish, sometimes even orange, tint to the face after peeling. There is no need to worry about this; the drug is easily washed off after a few hours.

This peeling is ideal in the fight against age-related deficiencies and for the treatment of acne, so the manufacturer does not provide strict restrictions on the age at which it can be used.

How many procedures will be required

The course of procedures is selected individually, with attention paid to the condition of the patient’s integument and the susceptibility of the drug they use. The classic course of exfoliation with retinoic acid against early aging is 1-2 sessions every 1-1.5 months. In this case, intensive preparation before the procedure is required.

For therapeutic purposes, to eliminate noticeable skin imperfections, the number of procedures is increased to 3–5, and the interval between them is reduced to 2–3 weeks.

Modern manufacturers supplement the composition of the peeling product with other fruit acids, which soften the effect of retinol and at the same time exert their effect on the skin. In this regard, the scheme of further procedures is adjusted as suggested by the manufacturer.

Special facial care after cleansing

A short recovery period after retinoic peeling is one of the advantages of the procedure. Despite deep penetration, the product rarely causes complications, and side effects such as active peeling and redness disappear in a matter of days. It is thanks to this feature that yellow peeling is also called “weekend peeling.”

Taking care of your face after exfoliation is not difficult; the main thing in caring for after yellow peeling is unquestioning compliance with all the instructions of the cosmetologist.

Peeling with retinoic acid is somewhat different from the usual milk or glycolic peeling in that you need to wash it off yourself at home. After applying the peeling product to the face, the cosmetologist will indicate after what time it needs to be washed off. Strictly after the specified time period, take neutral soap, without fragrances, and water. Rinse off any remaining product. Cleansed skin looks red, like after a bad tan, and there is a feeling of tightness and slight discomfort. To ease the sensations and influence the rate of regeneration of the integument, you will need Panthenol or Bepanten ointment. It is necessary to smear the face generously, preferably touching the surface as little as possible.

In the first 2-3 days, be prepared for side effects such as swelling in the eyelids, mild chills and even fever. On the third day of rehabilitation, the redness and swelling will go away, but then the skin will begin to actively peel off. After 5-7 days, the layers of the epidermis damaged by the acidic product should peel off and you can enjoy renewed, smooth and soft skin.

Be aware of increased skin sensitivity during the post-peeling period. When going outside, apply sunscreen to your face.

Don't be alarmed if there is no peeling as such. There are cases when skin renewal occurs calmly, and the formed films are washed off when washing.

Despite the claim by cosmetologists about a short rehabilitation period, full restoration of the integument lasts for a month, albeit without external factors. At this time, it is undesirable to disrupt post-peeling care and replace medicinal ointments with cosmetic hypoallergenic creams.

What not to do after the procedure

After peeling you cannot:

• go to the bathhouse and sauna. Please note that with sweat particles you can easily introduce infection into damaged tissues;


• drink alcohol and eat spicy foods;


• go to the gym, do fitness classes and do heavy physical activity at all;


• swim in the pool, at sea or in any body of water;


• sunbathing and visiting a solarium;


• dye your hair, curl it using chemical compounds, refuse keratin hair straightening and even put off keratin masks;


• tear off the exfoliated film from the face, scrub the skin and subject it to mechanical cleaning.

Follow these rules not only in the first 5–7 days, when the active phase of skin renewal is visible on the face, but also for a month, or preferably three.

Complications

Exfoliation with acids is a complex process for the epidermis, so it is important to discuss possible complications. Their appearance can be caused by improper skin care before and after cleansing, erroneous actions by the cosmetologist and violation of the procedure protocol.

There are several reasons for the unpleasant consequences. The main ones:

• neglect of contraindications;


• careless attitude of the patient during the rehabilitation period;


• insufficient professionalism of the peeling performer;


• poor quality of the drug used;


• the individual reaction of the client’s body to retinol, retinoic acid, which is very difficult to predict.

Be attentive to yourself and your health, choose only first-class clinics for cosmetic procedures.

Have the first wrinkles appeared, has your skin lost its elasticity and firmness? It's time to discover for yourself what yellow peeling is, its advantages and advantages over other cleansing methods. Help your face look younger and fresher!

Chemical peels are a quick and effective way to get rid of wrinkles, age spots and acne. We suggest considering how yellow retinoic peeling is used, its effect, as well as possible complications.

Beneficial features

Retinoic acid is derived from retinoids, which are an extract of vitamin A denatured by differenticin. This substance is chemically similar to protein and has a very similar effect to collagen-producing skin cells.

In addition, this acid helps seal moisture in the skin even at the deepest level, which stimulates collagen production and behaves like an antibiotic - it slows down the growth of bacteria and helps the skin resist infection. This superficial Jesner peel is a very effective method of skin rejuvenation. The surface becomes significantly cleaner, deep lines and wrinkles are leveled out, and pigment spots almost completely disappear. This peeling is also used to prevent malignant formations on the skin.

Operating principle

This type of scrub helps restore the immune system, blood circulation and is very beneficial for the health of the dermis. Both aging skin and young skin benefit from the session. The main advantage of retinoic acid peeling is that this technique is relatively painless compared to other similar products. Use is permitted for the skin of the face, neck and hands. In addition, absolutely no preparation of the dermis is needed. Medium retinoic facial peeling can gently cleanse the deep layers of the epidermis, eliminate post-acne, small scars after acne and blackheads.

In most cases, during the period of retinoic peeling, the girl is placed in an overnight hospital, provided that the procedure is carried out in a beauty salon. The solution is applied to the face for 6-9 hours, and only after this time can it be neutralized and washed off. To avoid burning the dermis, the doctor applies a moisturizing and nourishing cream to the face, under the yellow preparation. The entire process can take from 10 to 12 hours.

Contraindications and complications

This procedure has quite serious contraindications, we suggest you familiarize yourself with them in more detail. A categorical contraindication is acute herpes disease; you must also inform your doctor about the passive form of the disease. Any blood disease should be taken seriously; it could be incoagulability, hepatitis or excessive thinning. In addition, you need to be extremely careful in the following cases:

1. Fungal diseases;
2. Peeling is not done until the age of 18;
3. Open skin wounds, deep cracks;
4. After sessions of Isotretianoin, Roaccutane;
5. Pregnancy is a direct contraindication for acid retinoic peeling, as is breastfeeding;
6. For HIV and hepatitis;
7. Allergy to retinol.

Photo - Before and after retinoic peeling

Retinoic superficial peeling is safer than even mesotherapy, because mainly affects only the upper layers of the epidermis. When used on very delicate skin, the acid may touch the middle layer, but without burns. But sometimes, after the course ends, additional treatment will be required. Which side effects can be:

• Swelling and pain - usually lasting up to three days, but mainly these are the consequences of deep scrubbing;
• Redness will appear immediately after the procedure and may last up to a month. In most cases, the skin remains clear and pink, but sometimes severe erythema can occur.
• Itching - take antihistamines, because... It is because of scabies that you can get an infection or cold on your face; in addition, if you peel off the skin, there is a high probability of scars appearing.
• Folliculitis, rosacea, acne - in most cases this is a consequence of using a low-quality cream before or after peeling. We recommend using antibiotic-based ointments.
• The appearance of a bacterial or fungal infection is very rare during the peeling procedure. Most likely when used at home or improper care.
• Recurrence of herpes - goes away within a week if you smear your face with Acyclovir or Gerpevir.
• Telangiectasia is the manifestation of small capillaries under the surface of the epidermis and is often caused by chemical peeling of the middle layers, although sometimes the cause can also be a superficial acid scrubbing technique.

The principle of the procedure at home

It should be noted that it is quite easy to do retinoic peeling at home, which has excellent reviews. Nowadays, most cosmetic companies produce formulations for the procedure. The skin of the face and body is cleansed with a soft lotion and tonic, followed by a gentle moisturizer. It is used as a base, so it does not wash off. Next, at home, we spread the prepared retinolic acid composition for peeling on the face. There are different compositions, they vary depending on how long the active component has, therefore, we strictly follow the instructions. Let stand for several hours or 20 minutes and apply a neutralizer.

We recommend using only funds from trusted companies: Mediderma retises (Mediderm), Age Control, Christina, Martinex, Block Age (Block Age), Medic Control Peel, INNO-PEEL Whitening, VITALIZE PEEL, New Youth and others.

We strongly advise that before you buy a ready-made retinoic peeling and use it, visit a beauty salon or cosmetic clinic - there they will select the technology and type of product that has the optimal cost and performance for your skin (for the first use, Activador Cimel cosmetics are most often prescribed, ACP, ICP, Licorice, made in Italy).

Care after retinoic peeling:

1. The skin may react to sunlight, so for a week after the procedure, use sunscreen with UV 30 for the face and 25 for the body;
2. Do not do any abrasive scrubs until the end of the course;
3. Moisturize your face, you may need to do this up to 4 times a day;
4. Wash only with mild products.

Rehabilitation will not take much time with proper care, the average period is from a week to two weeks.

According to cosmetologists, retinoic peeling is the safest of all radical methods for eliminating wrinkles and pigmentation, every cosmetologist forum and before and after photos speak about this. Remember that there may be consequences after the session, so be careful when selecting both medications and treating doctors who have undergone special training and have the appropriate certificates.
