In modern cosmetology, chemical peels occupy a leading position for normalizing the quality of the skin and eliminating imperfections. Efficiency and minimal risks are the main goals of aesthetic correction that almond peeling meets. The procedure is a popular part of acid treatment for gentle healing and restoration of cellular processes.

Distinctive properties

The molecular weight of mandelic acid is 8 times larger and heavier than a glycolic molecule, due to which the component has an atraumatic and comfortable effect on the surface layers of the skin, quickly removes scales and improves cellular respiration. Almond peeling is used on sensitive and thin skin, since processes occur in the upper layers of the epidermis.

Phenylglycolic acid does not have a photosensitizing effect and does not affect the forced production of melanin, so peeling is carried out in the spring and summer. After the technique, there is no swelling or severe hyperemia due to the delicate effect of the component on the skin.

The substance is a chemical antiseptic, similar in structure to macrolide antibiotics and is used for inflammation, unlike other alpha hydroxy acids. Mandelic acid slowly penetrates the skin without irritation, provides control of effectiveness and combines well with mechanical cleansing and laser biorevitalization.

Composition and principle of action of peeling PRX-T33

Peeling solution PRX-T33 is a homogeneous gel-like serum consisting of three components:

• Patterned complex PRX-T33;
• Kojic acid (5%);
• Hydrogen peroxide (less than 1%).

Hydrogen peroxide provides a double effect - it neutralizes the “hotness” of the active component and promotes the production of new collagen and elastin.

Kojic acid acts as a whitening agent. It lightens age spots, acne spots and other pigmented scars. In addition, kojic acid perfectly evens out skin tone and texture. A distinctive feature of kojic acid is its ability to block tyrosine, the “culprit” of excess melanin synthesis. Therefore, hyperpigmentation “erased” with its help does not appear again for a long time.

The purpose of the patented PRX-T33 complex is intensive exfoliation of horn cells of the epidermis. It is the density and rigidity of the stratum corneum of the skin that leads to its visual aging. And if young girls have 1-3 layers of horn cells on their skin, with age their number increases to 5-7. The skin stops receiving oxygen and nutrients, becomes depleted, acquires an earthy tint, and loses contractility. Only timely and regular targeted exfoliation of horn cells can effectively prevent this process.

With regular peeling, obvious redness is observed on the face, and after a couple of days the skin begins to peel off strongly and profusely. The PRX-T33 peel does not have these problems because the side effects of trichloroacetic acid are prevented by hydrogen peroxide.

The combination of the listed components copes well with acne - it destroys acne-causing bacteria, normalizes sebum secretion, and cleanses pores of comedones.

Types of Kosmoteros peeling with reviews

Carrying out facial cleansing at home is a procedure that until recently was inaccessible, since only aggressive compounds were previously used for cleansing. The use of chemicals was carried out only in the salon, under the strict supervision of a cosmetologist. Nowadays, many cosmetic companies offer a considerable selection of home cleaning products.

The only condition for successful manipulation is strict adherence to the manufacturers’ recommendations. The instructions are usually attached to the drug; it is better to study it in advance - this will prevent unpleasant complications and consequences. Most often, Kosmoteros products are recommended for home treatment, characterized by a composition that is gentle on the dermis, effective and easy to use.

Do you know? To avoid troubles, it is better to undergo the first manipulations using chemical peels in a salon - this will allow you to gain experience for home procedures. If there are still incomprehensible points, find out about them from the master - such a safety measure will prevent undesirable consequences.

Multifruit peeling

The use of fruit acids is an effective way to cope with many skin defects that arise from adverse external influences and the use of low-quality cosmetics. Age is another reason to go to a cosmetologist and undergo a series of procedures with fruit acids.

Multifruit peeling Kosmoteros is carried out only in salons and is recommended for significant defects of the dermis:

• small wrinkles;
• rashes;
• dryness, peeling;
• sagging, flabbiness, loss of skin elasticity;
• enlarged pores;
• black spots;
• spots of pigment.

Do you know? Carrying out multi-fruit cleansing occurs only after testing the composition, especially if the dermis is hypersensitive. 3-5 drops of the drug applied to tender areas (elbow, wrist) will help determine the body’s tolerance to aggressive substances.

Polina (34 years old):

“The cosmetologist used Cosmoteros to get rid of rashes on the face. I’m happy with the results - in addition to the acne, which I couldn’t get rid of, my pores have narrowed, I don’t even remember the blackheads.”

Vera (27 years old):

“The cosmetologist recommended Cosmoteros against pigment spots that appeared after the birth of a child. I was a little afraid of the aggressive effects, the acids in the composition were alarming. The fears turned out to be unfounded - the cleaning went well, I did not feel any inconvenience or discomfort. The freckles disappeared along with the spots.”

Lidia Grigorievna (51 years old):

“With menopause, problems with the skin began - dryness, deep folds, flaking. I underwent a Kosmoteros cleansing in order to normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands, and received a pleasant bonus - wrinkles were significantly smoothed out, the skin was tightened, it looked neat and well-groomed.”

Almond peeling

Some Kosmoteros cleaning products are recommended for use at home. Such products are characterized by a mild effect and a small number of contraindications. Kosmoteros almond peeling has a unique composition that is safe even on sensitive or irritation-prone dermis.

The use of the composition is recommended for the following problems:

• signs of aging;
• dryness;
• flabbiness;
• acne;
• spots of pigment.

The use of the compositions is also recommended during the period of preparation for aggressive chemical manipulations. Mandelic acid gently exfoliates the upper layers of the dermis, stimulating active cell division and the production of substances that promote skin rejuvenation.

As you continue cleaning, you feel a pleasant tingling sensation; redness and irritation do not bother you. The procedure is recommended at any time of the year - sun rays or frost are unable to cause harm.

Olga (36 years old):

"I am delighted! With the help of almond peeling, I coped with the peeling that constantly appears in winter; even moisturizers do not help. Now I’m not afraid of either wind or frost - the sebaceous glands work like clockwork, the dermis is constantly moisturized.”

Elena (26 years old):

“I use almond peeling from Kosmoteros all the time. There are no special defects on the face, but I think that this is due to regular cleansing. I don’t even look into a cosmetologist’s office – home care is quite enough.”

Nina (37 years old):

“I cleaned with mandelic acid before chemical peeling. I believe that thanks to this I see a fresh face with an even, healthy tone. I’m not even thinking about wrinkles yet.”

Glycolic peeling

The peculiarity of gilcol peeling is the acid in its composition. The procedure can only be carried out in the salon - facial treatment is carried out in courses, the session ends with the mandatory application of a neutralizer. The number of courses depends on the skin defect. It is recommended to use glycolic acid-based formulations for the following problems:

• aging of the dermis;
• uneven shade;
• uneven skin texture;
• enlarged pores;
• profuse rashes (provided there are no inflammatory processes);
• improper functioning of the sebaceous glands (oily layer or dry patches on the skin).

Kosmoteros glycolic peeling is applied in accordance with a protocol that describes the entire process in detail.

Svetlana (33 years old):

“I didn’t like cleaning with glycolic acid-based products - it was painful and unpleasant. The results were also not encouraging - the pores only narrowed a little, blackheads appeared just a month after the procedure.”

Larisa (29 years old):

“Svetlana, your dermis is probably too sensitive - I had a cleansing a week ago, I didn’t even feel the cosmetologist’s work, I dozed in the chair for almost the entire procedure. The effect is wonderful - the face has an even tone, the pores are almost invisible, although recently I smeared almost a tube of cream to hide the defect.”

Lena (41 years old):

“Treatment with products based on glycolic acid was carried out for sagging. I can boldly say that I can’t even imagine a better way to tighten faces; I was very pleased with the results.”

Yellow peeling

Yellow cleansing using retinoic acid is carried out only in the salon. Testing is carried out in advance - the composition is aggressive and often causes negative reactions.

After the manipulations, a neutralizer is applied to prevent side effects. Cleaning is quite painful, so Kosmoteros yellow peeling is not recommended for sensitive dermis. Use retinoic acid against all skin defects.

Nadezhda (36 years old):

“I have sensitive skin, but I decided to cleanse with retinoic acid - gentle procedures could not cope with the rashes. It was terribly painful, but the results were worth my suffering - my face is now clean and well-groomed."

Rita (38 years old):

“I don’t like the recovery period - I had to walk with swelling for almost a week, I took time off from work. I won’t go for retinoic cleansing again.”

Lyuba (43 years old):

“I was not sensitive to the skin, but I also found the effects of retinoic acid unpleasant. To be fair, I’ll say that I didn’t notice a similar effect after a single cleansing - wrinkles disappeared, contours became clearer, the relief evened out.”

Peeling PRX-T33 has a number of advantages over outdated chemical peeling options.

Among them:

• Gentle and gentle effect on the skin;
• No complications such as redness, inflammation, peeling;
• Unprecedented performance;
• Combined effect;
• Versatility - the procedure is performed on both the face and body (for example, for stretch marks or goose bumps);

• Can be performed on both light and dark (or tanned) skin.

The procedure is relevant both for solving typical age-related problems and for delaying them. Young girls turn to her to maintain healthy and well-groomed skin.

Stages of the method

1. Collecting anamnesis by a specialist and assessing the condition of the skin to identify contraindications.
2. Allergy test - test application of mandelic acid on the wrist for 5 minutes. If there is no redness, the test is considered negative.
3. Pre-peel preparation - prescribing products containing 15% phenylglycolic acid at night 10-14 days before the procedure to smooth and receptive the surface layer of the skin. Additionally, preparations with fruit acids are used 2-3 times a week to enhance the effect.
4. Makeup remover - cleansing the skin using a soft gel or foam.
5. Toning - using 10% mandelic acid to restore pH levels.
6. Pre-application of a 5% mixture of mandelic, lactic and glycolic acids for better penetration of the base substance.
7. Carrying out a true peeling procedure using phenylglycolic acid in a concentration of 30% to 60% depending on skin type. The procedure is performed with quick movements with a fan brush or cotton swabs in the direction from the periphery to the center: forehead, temporal region, chin, cheeks, nose, eyelids. Exfoliation time ranges from 3 to 5 minutes during the first procedure, followed by an increase in exposure to 10-25 minutes. The number of layers depends on the individual reactions of the skin.
8. Neutralization - washing off the composition with water from the center to the periphery, since mandelic acid does not react with water, or using a special component if the treated areas are hypersensitive. For example, a neutralizing lotion is soothing.
9. Application of a regenerating mask for 10-20 minutes, moisturizing and sunscreen preparations with SPF 30-50. For example, Cream block for tanning and age spots, SPF 45.

Principles of rehabilitation

• For 2-5 days, use delicate cleansers and do not apply decorative cosmetics.
• For 3-5 days, use nourishing and regenerating agents: “Bepanten”, grape seed oil and do not rip off the scales yourself.
• For 4-7 days, moisturize the skin with light creams and fluids with hyaluronic acid 3-4 times a day.
• For 7-10 days do not visit the bathhouse, sauna, swimming pool and avoid heavy physical exercise.
• Do not actively sunbathe for 14 days.
• For 7-10 days, avoid aggressive procedures - scrubs, polishing.
• During the course of procedures, constantly use sunscreen with SPF 40 or more.

Unique actions of almond peeling

• Keratolytic - superficial intermolecular cleansing between scales and loosening of the stratum corneum.
• Bactericidal and anti-inflammatory - suppression of the activity of pathogenic microorganisms.
• Antiseborrheic - normalizes the functioning of the sebaceous glands and dissolves subcutaneous fat in the pores.
• Lifting - increasing elasticity and updating cellular receptors.
• Whitening - smoothing the epidermis by exfoliating dead cells.
• Antioxidant - binding and blocking free radicals.
• Metabolic - normalization of target blood circulation and stimulation of local immunity.
• Moisturizing - restoring water balance in tissues.

Side effects

• Redness after almond peeling is a spontaneous reaction to the procedure, which lasts up to 2-3 hours and goes away after applying moisturizers.
• Dryness and flaking are natural skin processes influenced by mandelic acid, which disappear within 4-5 days.
• The addition of a secondary infection is an unpredictable complication if the peeling technique is performed incorrectly or post-procedure care is not followed. External antibacterial agents are prescribed to improve tissue regeneration and trophism.
• Post-inflammatory pigmentation is a rare manifestation that occurs due to internal disruptions in the body or improper rehabilitation. Anti-inflammatory drugs with antioxidant and whitening effects are used.
• Allergic manifestations (rash, itching, burning) are the body’s response to intolerance to the components of almond peeling. A preliminary history and test samples are important to prevent undesirable consequences that may occur when antihistamines are used.

Yellow peeling

This is a cleansing treatment with retinoic acid, which gives the characteristic yellow color. Yellow peeling should be carried out only in a salon, by an experienced professional. He applies the product a little at first, according to the protocol, to see the body’s reaction. Allergies usually appear quickly. This is any discomfort: burning, irritation, possibly rashes. However, yellow peeling rarely acts as an allergen. Retinoic acid is considered a strong drug, so an untrained person can easily make a mistake with the dosage or confuse the protocol points.

The use of a neutralizer is mandatory. Precautions: Before starting, protect your eyes and lips with tissues. The frequency of the course and the amount of the drug are calculated only by the cosmetologist. Yellow peeling effectively combats various skin problems - areas of redness, acne, etc.

Almond peeling at home

When carrying out the technique independently, 5-10% mandelic acid is used. The application technique is similar to professional stages.

1. Preliminary medical consultation to determine the type of peeling and selection of quality products.
2. Makeup remover - removing surface impurities using milk or lotion.
3. Rubbing with a tonic containing up to 10% mandelic acid to degrease the target area.
4. Evenly distribute 5-10% phenylglycolic acid to the affected areas using a brush or cotton pad, maintaining the exposure time from 3 to 20 minutes as the number of procedures increases.
5. Neutralization - rinsing off the peeling with water or a special solution when a reaction occurs in the form of severe redness and burning.
6. Use of restorative, moisturizing and sunscreen preparations in compliance with key care recommendations.
