Roll peeling is a chemical cleansing method that effectively removes impurities from various layers of the skin, evens out the complexion and gives the epidermis a healthy appearance.
There are several types of such exfoliation - some are allowed to be used for cleaning at home, while others are recommended to be performed only by a high-class specialist.
What is peeling ray
The mixtures used for peeling rays gently cleanse the skin of the face or body without harming the healthy epidermis, and are characterized by a rejuvenating effect.
The principle of operation is that dead cells are dissolved by acids and rolled into balls using cellulose particles, which are painlessly and easily removed from the skin.
Most cleansers are characterized by the content of nutritional components that have a tonic and moisturizing effect on the dermis.
Differences from other peelings
The main difference from other types of exfoliation:
- Scrubs. Cleaning methods are similar in application technology, however, rolling exfoliants do not contain abrasive particles, so during cleaning only the dead cell layer is removed, the healthy epidermis remains undamaged.
- Chemical cleaning. After peeling, there are no burns, unlike chemical exfoliation with acids.
In addition, this method of cleansing, due to its safety, can be started at a young age.
Facial exfoliators can also be used to cleanse other areas, while body peels should not be used on the face.
Useful tips for use
- For complex dermatological problems, ulcers, facial peeling roller is not recommended.
- For those with excessive dryness, choose your product carefully. Do not use a strong acidic cleanser. It will dry out. Light, gentle (with mandelic acid) is suitable.
- For those with oily shine problems, it is advisable to have a session once or twice a week. For those with dry powder, once every two weeks is enough.
- After using acid peeling, be sure to rinse with warm water. Apply moisturizer and gel without sparing.
- In sunny times, three to five days after peeling, use a cream with a sunscreen filter SPF 25.30. To prevent pigmentation.
- The cosmetics manufacturer includes instructions on how to use it on the box or bottle.
Varieties
Rolling peelings differ in a number of parameters.
- Type of epidermis. Most of the products produced are universal and are used for exfoliation of any skin type, but those with sensitive or problematic epidermis can purchase peels with additional restorative, antiseptic and softening effects.
- Impact. You can eliminate irritation and red spots using soothing remedies with herbal extracts. Compositions with fruit extracts are suitable for nutrition and strengthening of protective functions. When treating acne and inflammation, formulations with plant extracts are selected.
- Consistency. There are liquid, creamy and gel-like cleansing preparations.
To cleanse the body and face, roll-off cream peelings from Korean companies are most often used - they are produced in plastic tubes, and sometimes the composition is in a bottle equipped with a sprayer.
How to use a peeling roll correctly
Exfoliation protocol when using a peeling sheet:
- the dermis is pre-steamed and cleansed with tonic to remove surface impurities;
- the skin is degreased with foam for washing and blotted dry with napkins;
- the selected product is evenly distributed and remains for the time specified in the instructions for peeling;
- within a few minutes, a soft massage is performed with your fingers, which leads to the formation of lumps of dirt;
- the resulting balls and the remnants of the cleaning composition are washed off with warm water or removed with wet wipes;
- Nourishing cream is applied.
When applying peeling to the face, avoid areas around the lips and eyes. After using a properly selected product, the epidermis is treated with a sunscreen before going out into the sun - this minimizes the risk of hyperpigmentation or burns.
Consumer Reviews
Most Korean-made peelings receive solid “B” ratings from users. There are both rave and negative reviews of the same products. As a rule, complaints are related to the fact that peelings cause allergic reactions or are poorly applied or roll off, not justifying their cost. Similar claims are made in this review. We are talking about Floria Brightening Peeling Gel from Tony Moly.
At the same time, there are positive reviews about this peeling on thematic forums and online store sites. Consumers confirm the effectiveness of the product as stated by the manufacturer.
Appletox Smooth Massage Peeling Cream is receiving equally mixed reviews. The girl who left this review described in detail and point by point what the positive effect of the product on the skin is.
The owner of sensitive skin was much less fortunate with the same apple peeling from Tony Moly. She immediately noted several shortcomings of Appletox Smooth Massage Peeling Cream. For example, the kit does not include a special spatula for applying peeling. According to the girl, this not only causes inconvenience when using the product, but is also very unhygienic. However, there is a more significant drawback: after the first use of peeling, the skin became covered with acne.
Peach All-in-one Peeling Gel from the Urban Dollkiss brand seems to satisfy even the most discerning customers. An interesting design of a jar in the shape of a juicy fruit, a measuring spoon included in the set and other “amenities”, coupled with effectiveness proven by many users. For example, the author of this review.
However, even here there are not entirely satisfied customers, for whom the peach skin peeling did not evoke joyful emotions.
Girls are very interested in wine pads for cleansing and exfoliating the skin Hell-Pore Perfect Wine Sparkling Peeling Pad from the Elizavecca brand. The manufacturer tried to come up with a memorable box design. Many users note this bonus as one of the advantages of the product. In addition, the author of the following review praises the discs soaked in wine essence for their good results and versatility: the pads are suitable for cleansing different areas of the skin.
Among the disadvantages, the girl notes that after using the product, the skin becomes sticky. Further care will help get rid of this. For example, applying cream. The author of the following review found much more disadvantages in using the Hell-Pore Perfect Wine Sparkling Peeling Pad. The girl shares her negative experience. She was disappointed both by the quality of cleansing and by the fact that the product did not suit her skin.
Thanks to its original design, women are also attracted to the Smooth Egg Skin Peeling Gel from Holika Holika. Not all consumers find the creative jar easy to use, but for some, this minus cannot cancel out the more significant advantages of the product.
Assessing the effectiveness of egg peeling, the author of this review emphasizes: the manufacturer’s promises are not 100% fulfilled. The product has a good effect on the skin, but may disappoint the hopes of consumers who expect to get rid of blackheads.
The peeling that is chosen not for its colorful design, but most often for the presence of snail mucin in its composition, is Escargot Noblesse Intensive Peeling Gel from Farm Stay. In this review, the girl emphasizes the delicacy of the product on the skin and its good effect. The disadvantage of snail peeling is its strong, specific smell.
The author of the following opinion believes that peeling is aggressive towards the skin, since during the procedure you have to rub it hard.
Despite the most varied reviews, Korean cosmetics continues to attract European girls who are eager to use new products in skin care. Manufacturers are meeting the needs of curious and discerning consumers.
Many brands release samples of their peelings. Therefore, to find out whether the product is suitable for your skin, you can buy a mini version, and also take into account the accumulated experience of other users and take into account their advice.
Precautionary measures
In order not to harm the skin, when choosing a peeling roll and before applying it for the first time, it is recommended to consult a professional cosmetologist - he will choose a product taking into account the type of skin and existing problems, and will also familiarize him with all the nuances of exfoliation.
Contraindications
Contraindications to the use of peeling ray:
- intolerance to components;
- ulcers or open wounds;
- active form of herpes;
- diseases of the dermis;
- overdried and flabby epidermis;
- sensitive skin;
- pronounced capillary network.
To avoid an allergic reaction, before performing the main cleansing, you should distribute a little exfoliation composition on the wrist or elbow - if swelling, burning or itching does not occur within 15-20 minutes, you can safely proceed to the cleansing procedure.
Side effects and complications
After applying the cleanser to the skin, a slight tingling sensation may occur - this is a normal reaction. However, if the discomfort intensifies, you must immediately wash off the peeling and choose a different composition.

To avoid the appearance or increase of pigmentation, you should use sunscreen throughout the recovery period after cleansing.
Opinion of cosmetologists
In thematic communities, professionals rarely evaluate cosmetics that are not intended for use in a salon. And if they give any comments, they usually have a negative connotation. In this review, the cosmetologist expresses the opinion that Korean cosmetics are not the best choice for European girls.
This specialist notes: whatever cosmetics you choose, it should all be part of the line of one brand. In addition, when choosing skin care products, you should not limit yourself to peeling.

Today, peeling rollers are really gaining popularity. But many people expect an unrealistic effect from the procedure. The fact is that such a product will help improve the condition of the skin, but it cannot replace professional facial cleansing. This home procedure will be useful for the skin, but still, I advise you to periodically visit a cosmetologist.

Such products are gaining popularity due to their availability, as they cost much less than cosmetic procedures.
Also a plus is home use, since modern ladies are too busy, this is a big advantage. But if you need not just simple cleansing, but professional cleaning, in addition, there is a desire to reduce wrinkles or pigmentation, you should go to the doctors. Before reading a review of any product, you need to get to know the author of the publication a little.
On specialized review sites, people indicate their age, skin color, and face type in their profiles.
It is this information that you need to focus on. After all, peelings, like other cosmetics, act differently in people of 20 and 50 years of age.
