Operating principle and effectiveness
The Timecode product was developed by specialists from the Spanish laboratory Expertise International, who distinguish peeling by its diverse effects, minimal risk of injury, and short recovery period for the skin.

“I prepare an analogue of Timecode myself at home. For this you need:
- soda;
- retinoic ointment;
- glycolic cream;
- moisturizing cream;
- water.
The main thing is not to overdo it with the ingredients and apply the product in a thin layer so as not to harm the sensitive epithelium. At the end, rinse thoroughly with water and treat with cream.”
“I used TIMECODE RST CREAM for six months, the result exceeded expectations. In addition to abundant nutrition and hydration of the dry type of dermis, wrinkles became less prominent, less expressive, and dark circles under the eyes disappeared. The manufacturer recommends this product against hyperpigmentation!”
“I had never heard of retinol procedures until I tried the Timecode brand retinol peeling. Despite the reasonable cost (about 4,000 rubles), the results are effective and last a long time. 4 procedures were enough for me to get rid of age spots and crow’s feet under my eyes.”
“I was dissatisfied with the peeling because the skin turned red, burning and irritation began. The peeling process also caused a lot of discomfort; the face seemed tight and dry. I couldn’t solve the problems with this peeling, so I don’t recommend it.”
“The first visit to the cosmetologist also affected me with redness and discomfort. After I changed the specialist, I got rid of acne with yellow peeling. It is also noteworthy that after the procedure there is a short recovery period.”
“Timecode peelings have a good composition that has never caused an allergy. The components interact perfectly with any facial care cosmetics. I would especially like to note this company’s homemade line of creams with a prolonged action system. If you clean in the summer, you must apply sunscreen for 2-3 months. To avoid becoming a victim of scammers, buy cosmetics from trusted cosmetologists or order on the manufacturer’s official website.”

Summary
Yellow peeling from a Spanish manufacturer called Time Code achieves its goals and allows you to get rid of a wide range of aesthetic imperfections. It is recommended to carry out such procedures in salons under the supervision of a qualified cosmetologist, because the acid content in the composition can result in burns, itching and irritation of sensitive skin.
Note! Often these side effects appear after improper use of the product at home.
Minor effects will become noticeable after the first sessions, but for greater results it is necessary to undergo a course of peeling therapy, which consists of 3-5 procedures with an interval established by the cosmetologist (from 2 weeks to 3 months). The cost of one retinoic peeling procedure ranges from 3,000 to 5,000 rubles. In this case, you will need to allocate a certain amount for accompanying cosmetics, which you cannot do without during the period of treating the skin with fruit and other acids.
Precautionary measures
Before performing yellow peeling, the cosmetologist is obliged to interview the patient about the following conditions.
Pregnancy, lactation, family planning. The use of retinol-containing products on pregnant and lactating women is strictly prohibited. (Vitamin A has a powerful teratogenic effect; its excess in the body of a pregnant woman leads to fetal malformations and congenital deformities).
History of allergic reactions. After the interview, the doctor is obliged to conduct a skin allergy test and make sure that the peeling components are well tolerated by the patient.
Hypervitaminosis A. A rare phenomenon, but it cannot be ignored. The skin absorbs substances applied to it quite well, so retinol peeling is contraindicated for people with an excess of this vitamin. The sign is a characteristic yellowish-orange skin color, hyperkeratosis and inflammation of the cornea of the eyes.
Side effects:
- Hyperemia, edema;
- Feeling of dryness;
- Feeling of tightness;
- Chemical burn (in case of violation of instructions and peeling technology);
- Allergic reaction.
Contraindications:
- Pregnancy, lactation, family planning in the next 6 months.
- Hypervitaminosis A
- Rosacea (rosacea)
- Chemical, thermal, physical burns in the early stages of healing;
- Herpetic eruptions on the face;
- Violation of the integrity of the skin;
- Liver diseases (cirrhosis, severe hepatitis);
- Dermatoses, urticaria;
- Warts;
- Acute infectious diseases;
- Fever of any origin;
- Furuncle, facial carbuncle;
- Treatment with Roaccutane.
Buyanov Sergey Yurievich (Expert Doctor):
Regarding herpetic eruptions on the face, a contraindication is indicated in the instructions, rather due to inertia than to the mechanism of action. Of course, in the acute phase - when bubbles form - any cosmetic manipulations are prohibited. When the process subsides, after the bubbles have opened and crusts have formed, the product, on the contrary, has a therapeutic effect.
