Every woman knows perfectly well how difficult it is to care for problem skin without salon procedures, and Kosmoteros peeling is a new technique offered by modern cosmetology to get rid of various defects. Cleaning does not affect the deep layers of the skin, which allows manipulation even with health problems or increased sensitivity. Before you go to the salon and get rid of annoying flaws without extra effort, you need to familiarize yourself with the features of the procedure, indications, expected effect, and find out what cosmetologists think about the manipulations.
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.”
