According to buyers and professional cosmetologists, these products will be an excellent option for home skin care.

Gentle exfoliation of the stratum corneum ensures active air circulation into the cells, improving natural tone, eliminating peeling and lightening unwanted pigmentation. Peeling should be used on damp skin, spreading with massage movements and rinsing with cool water.
How does medium peeling work?
Our skin is made up of three layers - the epidermis (outer layer), dermis and hypodermis (deepest layer). Medium peels stimulate and rejuvenate not only the surface layer, but also the dermis. It is the dermis that contains fibroblasts capable of synthesizing elastin and collagen fibers, allowing the skin to remain elastic and moisturized.
The principle of operation of medium peeling is based on deep exposure, which damages living cells. Damage to the deep layers of the epidermis causes irritation, redness, swelling, peeling, to which the body reacts by activating restoration processes. During the recovery period, “new” skin appears in place of damaged “old” skin, and the increased production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid for healing helps maintain the tone and moisture of the renewed skin.
After the recovery period, you can notice a quick and pronounced result from the procedure - a general lifting effect, smoothed relief, even tone, reduction of wrinkles and reduction of excessive sebum production.

Regular use of the product will not only provide high-quality cleansing of the skin and get rid of immediate problems. It will help delay aging and smooth out existing signs of age.
The essence of the procedure, principle of operation
This term refers to one of the types of chemical peeling. The main component is crotonic acid. It is obtained from the oil of the seeds of a special tree - croton. This crop grows in China and Sri Lanka.
According to numerous studies, the oil helps to cope with wrinkles and make the skin smoother. People living in these areas have been using the product for anti-aging purposes for many years.
Crotonic acid is a basic carboxylic acid. It has a pungent odor and a pronounced irritating effect. If the dosage is violated, the substance can cause dangerous consequences.
When used correctly, crotonic acid helps achieve the following results:
- cleanse the skin of dead cells;
- activate the synthesis of proteins and glycosaminoglycans;
- provoke the destruction of melanocytes;
- activate the functions of various substances;
- stimulate collagen synthesis.
Consequences
Side effects in the form of redness, peeling, and slight swelling occur in all patients and are considered a normal reaction to the chemicals used. Such symptoms disappear on their own within 2-3 days.
More serious complications include hyperpigmentation, the development of an allergic reaction, exacerbation of herpetic disease, rashes, and burns. The reason for such consequences may be non-compliance with the rules for exfoliation, incorrectly selected composition of the products used, as well as failure to follow recommendations for further skin care.
