How to choose what to pay attention to
1. When choosing your own cosmetics, Christina, pay attention to the fact that it is represented by lines of products that are intended for a certain age and skin type.
2. Also, there are lines aimed at solving specific problems:
- oily skin;
- problematic rashes;
- hyperpigmentation;
- rosacea;
- skin withering.
3. Do not use only one product , but use the full complex for maximum effect.
4. It is best to use products from the same line , which complement each other.
5. After completing a restorative and therapeutic course, you can move on to less aggressive products with a preventive effect on the skin.
Contraindications
There are no absolute contraindications to this peeling. It can be used with caution even during pregnancy, since it does not contain acidic components and does not injure the epidermis. But people with a tendency to severe allergic reactions should definitely do a tolerance test.
There are temporary contraindications. Peeling-gommage is not used for:
- damage to the integrity of the skin;
- active inflammatory processes;
- dermatitis and skin diseases.
After tanning and injection procedures, at least two weeks should pass. If rosacea is severe, self-applying peeling at home is possible, but it is better to first consult with a cosmetologist.
How to use it correctly
It is best to use professional cosmetics according to ready-made protocols, which are provided and developed by Christina for each line of skin care products.

Summing up
According to my clients’ reviews, using Christina’s gommage peeling is easy and pleasant. There is no discomfort during the procedure. On sensitive skin there may be a slight tingling sensation, but there is no redness left. But immediately after peeling, the face becomes refreshed and the unpleasant oily sheen disappears. For prevention, it is enough to use it once a week; for intensive cleansing, I recommend a course of a month of procedures performed every three days.
You can buy it on the official website of the manufacturer or its representatives, in professional stores, or order it online. I advise you to be careful with the last method - there are already a lot of fakes. Therefore, if the price is too low or the packaging is different from the standard, it is better to look for another supplier. The average cost of a large jar of the product is about $30.

Review of Christina cosmetics for problem skin from the Comodex line
Irina, 22 years old
I went to a beauty salon to treat problematic facial skin. The cosmetologist gave me a course of cosmetic procedures using the Christina cosmetics line for oily skin and problematic rashes. See how these medications helped relieve inflammation, eliminate acne and healing marks, and completely restore skin balance. Now I don’t use concealer at all, and my cosmetics case now contains peeling and lotion from Christina, which I already use on my own.
Expert's comments: This effect is a consequence of the use of natural cosmetics based on unique synthetic components developed by cosmetologists and pharmacists in the laboratories of the Christina company.
Review of Christina cosmetics line Unstress
Olga, 27 years old
I am a fan of Korean cosmetics made from vegetable and fruit extracts, but after prolonged use my skin began to react poorly to the high content of fruit acids. The cosmetologist recommended me a line of calming cosmetics, Christina, with an anti-stress effect. After a course of using these products, my skin became fresher, more matte, without visible redness. The face looks well-groomed and rested.
Specialist comments: Please note that the Unstress line not only relieves irritation and redness on the skin, but also eliminates excess oil, retaining moisture in the skin for a long period.
Review of Christina cosmetics line Silk
Natalya, 53 years old
I took a three-month course of lifting facial skin care with Christina cosmetics from my cosmetologist. My photos clearly demonstrate how the number of wrinkles has noticeably decreased, the facial contour has tightened, and the skin has become soft and elastic. I would like to note that the result was visible after the first procedure.

Review of Christina cosmetics line Peelosophy
Larisa, 35 years old
As an alternative to Japanese cosmetics, which I regularly use, I purchased the Peelosophy peeling line from Christina. Small isolated rashes, pigmentation and enlarged pores on the face prompted me to use deep cleaning peeling. The photo clearly shows how well my skin has recovered and cleansed after just three procedures. Now this peeling will take pride of place on my cosmetics shelf. I recommend!

I have very problematic skin, and I couldn’t fix it on my own. I turned to a cosmetology office for help, where I was prescribed the use of Christina cosmetics from the BioPhito line. Quite a long time has passed since the end of the course, and my skin still looks healthy and fresh.

Soap composition
Peeling includes the following active components:
- Sodium palmate, olivate, castorate are salts of fatty acids of palm, olive and castor oil. They are active soap ingredients that absorb dirt, toxins, and sebaceous secretions. They do not cause irritation and are used to gently cleanse irritated dermis. The elements are of natural origin, through saponification of oils.
- Glycerin acts as a stabilizer and increases the effectiveness of the components of the composition. Retains moisture and protects covers from aggressive environmental factors.
- Polysorbate-80 is a surfactant that ensures cleansing and uniformity of the cosmetic product. It has a moisturizing effect and soothes irritated dermis.
- Sea sponge - perfectly cleanses, removes keratinized epithelium, gets rid of excessive fat, restores the density and elasticity of the integument. Effective for the prevention and treatment of acne.
- Coral powder - provides relief polishing, helps to cope with post-acne marks. Improves microcirculation, strengthens thin blood vessels. Helps accelerate regeneration processes and skin rejuvenation.
- Silicon dioxide - whitens age spots, restores healthy complexion. It has a peeling effect, gently polishes the skin, removing dead skin cells, sebaceous plugs and other impurities. Antiseptic properties help prevent inflammation.
- Seaweed - removes toxins and oxidants from the skin, saturates cells with nutrients. Perfectly tightens sagging skin thanks to its lifting properties. Normalize lipid synthesis and help narrow pores.
Description of analogues
You can also find alternative professional cosmetics products. Mukunghwa Hardwood Charcoal Scrub Soap from a Korean manufacturer is affordable and has a similar operating principle.
The composition includes soap base, charcoal, camellia oil, AHA acid extracts. Used to remove keratinized epithelium, sebaceous plugs, and narrow pores.
Unlike rose de mer soap, it is used for daily cleansing of dirt. A cosmetic product with charcoal belongs to the mass market line, so the main tasks of peeling - removal of pigmentation, post-acne, rejuvenation - are not fulfilled.
Is the procedure done in salons?
Cosmetologists successfully use peeling soap for professional care. The procedure is prescribed for oily, thick, problem skin; in rare cases, it is used for dry, sensitive skin.
Only a specialist, after assessing the condition of the skin, can recommend the use of the program and include additional care products. A pronounced effect is observed after visiting a cosmetologist, who selects the optimal system of procedures to solve individual problems.
Home care can also bring the desired result. But to restore oily, problematic or dehydrated skin, using one product is not enough.
Daily systematic cleansing, moisturizing, toning, periodic use of masks and scrubs will normalize the condition of the dermis. A cosmetologist can select the optimal products during a consultation, depending on your skin type.
The salon offers 2 types of coral peeling, superficial and medium. It is prescribed to eliminate pigmentation, get rid of stretch marks, stretch marks, treat acne of any degree, and rejuvenate the skin. The cost of a session is from 2000 rubles, the quantity is determined individually, on average the course consists of 5–8 procedures.
