Facial peeling PREMIUM Professional Milk mousse

Lactic acid has nourishing and exfoliating properties. The peeling contains glycolic acid and salicylic acid. After applying the product, they help exfoliate the upper layer of the epidermis, return the skin's bright color, and provide a lifting effect.

Beauty salons and beauty parlors offer women a course of procedures; peeling can also be done at home. The impact on the upper layer of the epidermis is insignificant, so the procedure will have a beneficial effect on any skin type. Light peeling is best done for young girls who are experiencing the first signs of aging.

Lactic acid will help cope with excess sebum secretion and eliminate dull complexion.

Lactic acid has the following properties:

1. Penetrates deeply into cell membranes. Moisturizes the epidermis.
2. Stimulates cell renewal. Regenerates the skin.
3. Removes age spots by lightening them.
4. Improves blood circulation.
5. Accelerates the process of collagen formation.

Peeling is safe for health, so anyone can do it.

About lactic acid

Lactic acid falls under the category of AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids), which are obtained from various plant foods or milk. Moreover, lactic acid, along with glycolic acid, is the leader in efficiency among the acids of this group.

It is a colorless or light yellow liquid with a sour odor, which is very characteristic of fermented milk products. Easily soluble in water, formed during the fermentation of beer, wine, and sour milk. On an industrial scale, it is obtained as a result of the breakdown of glucose.

This is a natural, biologically safe product that is widely used in cosmetology, both in beauty salons and in the manufacture of cosmetic products.

Important property : lactic acid is a component of the natural moisturizing factor - a complex of molecules that binds and retains moisture in cells.

Lactic acid is a salvation for any skin

Absolutely everyone is familiar with lactic acid - even people far from chemistry and cosmetology. After all, it is formed during lactic acid fermentation, in particular, it is present in sour milk and sauerkraut. Drinking sour milk, of course, is not recommended, but applying it to the skin is easy, and you can get a positive result from it. Despite the fact that lactic acid has been “serving” humans for a very long time, it was first isolated only in 1780 by the Swedish chemist Karl Scheele from sour milk. Discoveries in subsequent years have established its enormous importance for the human body, including the skin, where it is a component of the natural moisturizing factor (NMF). In other words, lactic acid is a biologically related component to us. It is added to many pharmaceutical and food products: baby food, beer, dairy products, meat, animal feed, and cosmetics. In cosmetology, lactic acid is a biofermentation product, which guarantees its purity from foreign impurities and increases the effectiveness of its action. Usually, when it comes to AHA acids, lactic acid is not immediately remembered compared to its more popular “products” - glycolic, salicylic, and mandelic acids. Meanwhile, lactic acid can be called the gold standard among all fruit acids due to its unique properties and mild action.

Always a winner

“Lactic acid belongs to the class of alpha hydroxy acids (AHA), or, as they are also called, fruit acids, so its exfoliating ability comes first. However, compared to the same glycolic acid, it acts more gently and physiologically, so it can be recommended even for sensitive skin,” says Tatyana Mayatskaya, Ph.D., dermatocosmetologist, director of the ANO “Cosmetic Test”, Director of the scientific and testing center “Cosmetology”. — If the concentration of lactic acid in the drug meets safety and effectiveness standards, its positive effect on the skin is very great, while eliminating the negative effect on the protective, barrier and metabolic functions of the skin. Lactic acid helps reduce the thickness of the upper (horny) layer of the epidermis, makes the skin smooth and even, prevents clogging of the ducts of the sebaceous glands and the formation of comedones (blackheads). Penetrating into the mouth of the sebaceous gland, lactic acid promotes the timely removal of keratinized scales accumulated in the duct, which prevents inflammation. For those with oily problem skin, it helps eliminate acne marks and scars. In the care of aging skin, the use of preparations with lactic acid makes it possible to shorten the epidermal renewal cycle from 45 to 26-28 days, thereby bringing it closer to the physiological norm. As a result, peeling is eliminated and the complexion and appearance of the skin are noticeably improved. The second thing that should definitely be noted when talking about lactic acid is its moisturizing function. At the molecular level, it is part of the natural moisturizing factor (NMF) of the skin, adjacent to amino acids, urea, pyrrolidone carboxylic acid and other components. Lactic acid binds and retains moisture, creating a kind of water shell around itself. Moreover, moisture is not only collected, but also correctly redistributed towards the deep, “living” layers of the skin, which allows you to create the effect of balanced hydration in the epidermis. Another useful property of lactic acid is its ability to strengthen the barrier properties of the skin, promoting the production of ceramides, which, together with cholesterol and fatty acids, form a lipid layer, due to which the skin loses less moisture and better resists the influence of external negative factors. However, water-saving mechanisms work not only on the surface, in the epidermis, but also deeper - in the dermis. Lactic acid has a stimulating effect on special cells of this layer of skin - fibroblasts, which increases the synthesis of hyaluronic acid - a substance that actively attracts moisture and plays the role of a natural filler that maintains skin turgor. This leads to improved elasticity and smooth out wrinkles. No less important is the rejuvenating, or, as it is fashionable to say now, anti-age effect produced by lactic acid. It is associated with its ability, on the one hand, to stimulate the activity of fibroblasts in the dermis, thereby creating conditions for the renewal of the structural elements of this layer, and on the other hand, to accelerate the renewal of skin cells. Traditionally, cosmetologists call this action regenerative. As a result, the quality of the skin improves, it becomes firmer and more elastic, and fine wrinkles are smoothed out. Special attention should be paid to the whitening properties of lactic acid, which have been widely known since the time of Cleopatra. Residents of Europe and Asia actively used fermented milk products to remove age spots and improve complexion, because an even tone looks healthy and more attractive. There are currently two known mechanisms of action of lactic acid that lead to skin whitening. The main mechanism is based on exfoliation, when part of the pigment leaves along with the keratinized cells of the epidermis. However, drugs containing high concentrations of lactic acid work differently. They lighten the skin due to their ability to partially block the activity of a special enzyme, tyrosinase, which is responsible for the formation of the skin pigment melanin. This allows you to fight hyperpigmentation on a deeper level. In addition, due to its ability to have an anti-inflammatory effect, lactic acid effectively relieves such manifestations of the inflammatory reaction as peeling. The antibacterial properties of lactic acid are based on its “acidifying” effect, as well as special lactathion particles that slow down the development of many microorganisms.”

Where to find?

“Lactic acid can be found both in peeling products used for professional care and in products for daily home care: night and day creams, wash gels, serums and lotions,” notes Tatyana Mayatskaya. — Depending on the concentration, its effect can be exfoliating, moisturizing, regenerating. Chemical peels with lactic acid help reduce the number of horn cells, thereby improving the penetration of active ingredients (as part of the peel or a preparation applied immediately after it) and at the same time improving local microcirculation. Their unique property is low photosensitivity, in other words, they increase the sensitivity of the skin to ultraviolet radiation to the least extent. The size of the lactic acid molecule is noticeably larger than, for example, glycolic acid, so there is no danger of uneven and deep penetration, and therefore the risk of hyperpigmentation is reduced. This property allows milk peelings to be carried out even in the spring and summer, which, however, does not eliminate the need to use protective agents with ultraviolet filters. In professional peelings you can find lactic acid of different concentrations and with different pH (acidity) levels. As a rule, low concentration is 20-30% (pH 1.5-3.0), medium - 30-50% (pH 2.0-3.5), high - 50-90% (pH 2.0- 3.0). Depending on the composition, percentage of lactic acid and its exposure, visible peeling of the skin after the procedure may be absent altogether, or may be local. Recent research in the field of chemical peels has shown that in order to maintain normal skin barrier functions, the pH of the drug should not fall below 2.5. A good example of such physiological peelings with lactic acid are the preparations of the Salon Cosmetics company under the Premium Professional brand. The acid concentration in them varies, but the minimum pH is 2.5. This allows you to achieve the desired effect without disrupting the barrier functions of the skin. Here you can find both staged peels with lactic acid in a low concentration (10%), and procedural peels with a concentration of 20-30%. The former are used at the stage of deep cleansing of the skin (including in programs for preparing the skin for course peelings), as well as to identify the condition of blood vessels. The latter are used in special programs for the correction of certain cosmetic problems (withering, seborrhea, acne, hyperpigmentation). To enhance a particular effect, lactic acid in preparations is combined with glycolic, pyruvic, malic and succinic acids, as well as with anti-inflammatory and moisturizing active ingredients. Thus, professional procedural peeling Lactic Re-Generation 30% from Premium Professional allows you to solve a number of cosmetic problems. This is an active drug with a high content of lactic acid, which launches powerful regenerative processes in the skin. As a result of the course of procedures, wrinkles are smoothed out, the manifestations of hyperpigmentation and acne are reduced, the skin becomes smooth and velvety. The Neutrozen peeling component prevents disruption of the skin barrier function and destruction of ceramides. Special attention should be paid to such drugs as activators-antidaptants, which are an integral part of the Premium Gliko Active line of procedural glycolic peels. Their main task is to reduce the skin’s adaptive ability to glycolic acid and enhance the effect of the procedures. It is noteworthy that they solve this problem thanks to components of targeted action (whitening, anti-inflammatory, normalizing the activity of the sebaceous glands, rejuvenating), as well as the synergy of a complex of fruit acids, where, along with pyruvic, malic and citric acids, lactic acid is also present. Traditionally, milk peelings are recommended to be carried out in courses. Depending on the age and condition of the skin, it is recommended to undergo from 5 to 10 procedures with an interval of 7-10 days. The peeling procedure always includes pre-peel and post-peel care, which accounts for 50% of the success of any chemical peel. And here it is also appropriate to use drugs containing lactic acid. To correct aging dry skin, the “Aquaregeneration” serum from Premium Professional is more suitable. It enhances cell regeneration and increases the skin's protective barrier. In addition to lactic acid and other alpha hydroxy acids, the product contains hyaluronic acid, Hydroxan CH (complex humectant), shea butter, rosehip and corn, which provide maximum hydration and nutrition to the skin. In a program for correcting oily skin with signs of aging, you should pay attention to the Sebum & Age Control cream from Premium Professional, which combines both ingredients to normalize the activity of the sebaceous glands and components aimed at combating age-related changes, including lactic and glycolic acids. The mild action of lactic acid allows it to be included in eyelid skin care products. Collagen mask against swelling and bruising for the eyelids Premium Professional Intensive improves local microcirculation, elasticity and vascular tone, helps prevent bags under the eyes. In conclusion, we can say that lactic acid can help solve many cosmetic problems if its concentration and method of action are chosen correctly.”

Cosmetic properties of acid

This organic acid is found both in nature and in the human body, that is, it is physiological to us. Its molecule is so small that it is able to penetrate the cell membrane, working not only on the surface, but also deep in the skin. Therefore, peeling based on lactic acid can be superficial, medium and deep - it depends on the concentration of the substance.

Milk peeling at home is a superficial procedure that has a mild effect. For example, this is a more gentle procedure than peeling with a badyagi.

Acid is widely used in cosmetology practice, as well as in pharmacological production and in the manufacture of food products. As for cosmetics, it is used not only as a peeling, but also in the production of anti-aging creams, regenerating and anti-aging serums, and lotions. This is an excellent acidity regulator, as well as a powerful moisturizing and whitening component.

An important advantage of lactic acid is its naturalness. This is a natural substance for the human body that does not cause allergic reactions.

Peeling with lactic acid is one of the most popular in cosmetology. It, like other a-hydroxy acids, affects the processes of skin renewal and regeneration, effectively exfoliates dead cells, dissolving them. Thus, it eliminates the stratum corneum, smoothing the surface of the face, stimulates cell renewal and collagen production.

Peeling with lactic acid at home has an anti-aging effect, but this is a superficial procedure, so do not expect a very pronounced anti-aging effect. In general, this procedure helps problem skin more, at the first signs of aging, but does not erase deep wrinkles from the face and does not tighten it.

What else can lactic acid do?

Lactic acid is present in the skin's natural moisturizing factor, where it is responsible for regulating the acid-base balance and helping maintain hydration levels. Research has also shown that this type of acid is involved in the synthesis of ceramides, which the skin needs to maintain a protective barrier.

Another use of lactic acid is to treat hyperpigmentation. Baghdad researchers used a solution with a high concentration of the component on the skin of patients with melasma and noticed an improvement in the condition of the epidermis without pronounced side effects.

Lactic acid is also suitable for the most common beauty needs - wrinkle prevention and acne treatment. Thus, the Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi proved that after 8 weeks of using a solution with 5% lactic acid, the number of rashes on the skin of patients decreased significantly. To correct wrinkles, according to another experiment, a solution with 12% lactic acid is suitable, which improves the elasticity and density of the skin. Scientists also came to the conclusion that at high concentrations the substance affects not only the epidermis, but also the dermis.

If the skin is not yet familiar with acids, you should first consult with a specialist, and then introduce lactic acid into your skin care in small quantities. You can use the component at any time of the year, as long as you do not forget about the importance of SPF - sun protection is very important for renewed skin.

Indications for peeling

Facial peeling with lactic acid is multifunctional. It has a rejuvenating effect and also changes the quality of the skin, improving its condition. Why can you do milk peeling?

Among the indications:

1. the presence of facial wrinkles, especially nasolabial and glabellar wrinkles;
2. enlarged pores;
3. aged skin that has lost its tone, with signs of aging;
4. acne;
5. spots and scars after acne;
6. numerous age spots;
7. poor complexion, loss of elasticity and firmness;
8. a thickened stratum corneum, which causes the skin to become uneven.

Indications for use

Ladies over thirty should definitely adopt this remedy. Rejuvenating lactic acid for the face works real wonders on aging, fading skin. However, some properties of lactic acid can be quite aggressive and should be used with caution. Cosmetologists recommend using lactic acid-based products for the following problems;

• Abundant sebum secretion, facial skin shine.
• Enlarged pores.
• Formation of wrinkles and sagging skin.
• Postpartum stretch marks.
• Dryness and flaking of the skin.
• “Clogged” pores.
• Blackheads, acne.
• Dark spots.
• Acne.
• Uneven epidermis.
• Age 35 years or more.

Precautions and contraindications

• pregnancy and lactation;
• skin damage;
• the use of retinoids and some antibiotics, which increase the photosensitivity of the skin;
• the presence of inflamed acne.

Milk peeling at home can only be carried out taking into account the following important rules:

RULE 1: Never apply the composition if your skin is inflamed. RULE 2: milk peeling at home cannot be done with pure acid, otherwise you will burn the dermis and get deep burns. RULE 3: chemical peeling with lactic acid should be done during periods of minimal solar activity. After peeling, you should not sunbathe to avoid the appearance of age spots. RULE 4: when doing milk peeling of the face, do not rub your face - the peeling effect is not achieved by rubbing the skin, the acid acts without your help. RULE 5: when your face begins to peel, do not pick off the crusts and peeling. RULE 6: be sure to check for allergic reactions! A day before the procedure, apply a small amount of diluted acid to the bend of your elbow and monitor the reaction. Although it is indicated even for sensitive skin, different individual reactions are possible. RULE 7: It's good if you do pre-peel preparation. To do this, you can apply tonics or creams with minimal acid content to the skin for several weeks. RULE 8: stock up on Panthenol in case you need to soothe the skin after the procedure.

Very important:

Many people perceive lactic acid as a harmless product. However, it is still an acid, which, if used improperly, can ruin your skin. Medvyana Magazine recommends that you first do a lactic acid peel at a salon to see how your skin reacts. Remember that everyone’s skin is different, and an individual reaction is possible, so for the first time such serious procedures are best done under the supervision of a cosmetologist.

Carrying out milk peeling

Before the procedure:

1. Sunbathing is not recommended.
2. It is necessary to use sunscreen (two weeks before the procedure).
3. Take antiviral medications if your skin is prone to herpes.
4. Apply to the skin products that contain lactic acid in a small concentration - 1-2%. The recommendation is not mandatory - cosmetologists recommend practicing this so that the body gets used to lactic acid (alternatively, a week before the procedure, apply a kefir mask or simply wipe your face with kefir or another fermented milk product).

If the procedure is carried out in a salon, then it follows the following principle.

1. Pre-peeling preparation.

The essence of pre-peeling preparation is to follow skin care recommendations for two weeks before the upcoming procedure.

1. Cleaning and degreasing.

The cosmetologist carries out make-up removal and cleansing using special products that neutralize residual impurities and subcutaneous fat. To degrease the skin, use a tonic with fruit acids or lactic acid in a small concentration.

1. Pre-dealing.

It is carried out at the discretion of the cosmetologist. At this stage, the skin is treated with lactic acid of minimal concentration, which allows the specialist to determine how the skin reacts to the composition, as well as to increase the efficiency of penetration of lactic acid into cells.

1. Peeling.

This is the main part of the procedure. Lactic acid, concentration 30-90%, is applied to the skin with a special brush. The acid is applied in one or two layers, for 2-20 minutes. The concentration and exposure time of the acid is determined by the cosmetologist depending on the condition of the skin and aesthetic problems that need to be solved.

The peeling composition is applied to the face in the following sequence: forehead, temples, cheekbones, neck, décolleté, cheeks, chin, area around the mouth, nose and area around the eyes. When applying the composition around the eyes, the cosmetologist retreats 5 mm from the lower eyelid and 10 mm from the eyelash growth line.

During the application process, the cosmetologist monitors the skin’s reaction to the acid and, in case of severe redness, neutralizes the acid and the procedure is stopped. However, this option is only possible when using highly concentrated lactic acid. Therefore, it is recommended to carry out the first procedure with the lowest concentration of acid (30%), gradually increasing it from session to session.

The ability of lactic acid to penetrate into the inner layers of the dermis and exert a therapeutic effect there depends on the acid-base balance of the skin, its type and existing problems.

1. Neutralization of acid

The neutralizing composition is applied to the skin in reverse order: from areas where the skin is most sensitive to areas with rougher skin (i.e. from the area around the eyes to the forehead).

Next, the face is cleansed with plenty of cold water. The water must be cold, because... warm leads to skin irritation. After this, the face is carefully dried.

1. Hydration

At the final stage, it is important to soothe and moisturize the skin. The cosmetologist applies a moisturizing mask with a cooling effect and a nourishing cream, which is selected based on skin type (usually a cream containing aloe).

Peeling after peeling

An important question is whether the skin will peel after milk peeling, and how much? This depends on the concentration of the substance.

For example, light exfoliation with a 5% solution will not cause peeling, 10% also does not cause severe peeling, 20% may cause peeling on the second day, with 40% the skin will peel off. However, 40% facial peeling with lactic acid can be done only for pronounced defects (for example, deep scars and age spots), and only towards the end of the course.

Important: it is not recommended to do a concentration of 40% or higher at home so as not to get burned!

What will be the result after milk peeling?

Properties and benefits

Lactic acid copes well with problem skin. It gently cleanses, exfoliates dead skin cells and unclogs clogged pores. Cosmetologists use lactic acid to treat acne, pimples, and acne. With its help, you can remove scars and acne scars, as well as lighten freckles and remove age spots. Cosmetologists recommend it to people with sensitive and allergy-prone skin.

But these are far from the only problems that can be eliminated with lactic acid. With proper and systematic use of products based on it, a lot of other problems can be solved.

Peeling action

1. The cell renewal process is stimulated, which slows down with age. In general, after the procedure, mature skin will look rested and refreshed. If a course of procedures is done after the age of 40, the face will look younger.
2. Lipid metabolism is normalized.
3. Acid helps retain moisture in the skin. Shallow wrinkles will disappear, deep wrinkles will be slightly smoothed out.
4. Pores are narrowed, skin oiliness is reduced.
5. Improves complexion.
6. Already after the first procedure, post-acne marks lighten, and after the course the surface of the skin is evened out.
7. Blackheads literally come out and can be easily removed from the pores by gently pressing on the skin.

How to calculate concentration

Very important: remember that milk peeling at home begins with a minimum concentration of 5%. We remind you once again that it is forbidden to apply undiluted acid to your face!

Start with a concentration of 5%. By the end of the course, if necessary according to indications, the concentration can be increased to 40%. However, for safe use it is better to stop at 10%.

You can also make a toner at home with 1-2% lactic acid for daily use. This is the most gentle procedure, but the effect appears over a long period.

Please note that with a minimum concentration of acid, milk peeling at home does not cause any discomfort. Already at 20% it begins to noticeably bake.

If you bought 80% lactic acid, then to get:

10% - you will need 7 grams of water and 1 gram of acid; 20% - 6 grams of water and 2 grams of acid. 4% - 7.6 g of water and 0.4 g of acid.

The amount of peeling and the percentage of acid should be calculated strictly according to the formula: x*g/80, where

X is the required percentage of acid that we want to obtain; gr - the required volume of the finished composition; 80 is a concentrated percentage of the substance.

So, to get 8 grams of 10% peeling, we make up the formula: 10*8/80 = 1, that is, for one gram of acid 7 grams of water.

Recipe and cooking rules

So, if you decide to do homemade lactic acid peeling, we offer you a detailed recipe.
In this recipe we make 10 grams of peeling with a 4% concentration. For peeling we will need:

• Lactic acid 0.5 grams
• Distilled water 9.5 grams

Also for the procedure we need to prepare a neutralizer, for which we will use a soda solution. A neutralizer is needed to safely exfoliate, to stop the acid and prevent burns.

For the neutralizer:

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 glass distilled water

An important rule: we use only distilled water for peeling. We add acid to water, and not vice versa, and only this way!

Pour water into a container and add acid to it. Stir. We get a ready-made milk peeling for the face, as shown in the photo. We begin the exfoliation procedure.

Glamglow exfoliating toner

If acids have long been prescribed in your care and you are not ready to give preference to just one of them, try the toner from Glamglow. The formula contains almost all representatives of the class of beauty acids: lactic, salicylic, glycolic, mandelic, tartaric and pyruvic. Plus clay and charcoal. The toner is most suitable for those with oily skin types, because it performs all the most important functions - exfoliates dead cells, cleanses pores and controls the functioning of the sebaceous glands.

Peeling

Thoroughly cleanse your skin of makeup, preferably wash with foam or gel. The face must be degreased with alcohol or calendula tincture. Using a cotton pad, apply the solution to the forehead, cheeks, sides of the neck, middle of the neck, chin, nose, and décolleté. Do not apply the solution to your lips.

Apply the composition in one layer. No need to rub your skin! Leave for two minutes. Then we wash off our exfoliating composition with a neutralizer, observing the reverse sequence of application. Next, rinse your face with cool, clean water. Milk facial peeling done!

After the procedure, you can apply an alginate mask to your face, then a healing cream. Or just one cream.

The question may arise: where to buy lactic acid? You can buy lactic acid for peeling in online cream and soap making stores.

When can you expect significant results? The effect of milk peeling appears after the first procedure: blackheads come out easily, the skin brightens, evens out, and is moisturized. But you will see significant results after a course of procedures.

Facial peeling PREMIUM Professional Milk mousse

I used this set (peeling and whitening mask from Premium Professional) at the end of autumn and slightly touched the beginning of winter, because... Such means are used only at this time of year. I wanted to even out the overall tone of my face a little. That is, the lightening line from Shiseido (I already wrote about it) really evened out the tone, but in some places there were small spots that were not entirely noticeable (but still there), similar to freckles, but only paler. That is, they had to be bleached. In general, I thought that with this set from Premium and with my lightening line from Shiseido, everything would work for me so that after completing the entire course (which is 15 applications), my skin would have an absolutely even tone (this is exactly the ideal I strive for) and absolutely clean! In general - dream skin (naive...)! I have never used professional cosmetics. I didn’t use acids either, even fruit ones. I, of course, understand that Premium is not Cristina, etc., that products from a Russian manufacturer did not do anything good on my face (for me personally), but here, after all, it seems like a professional line. And what’s more, I chose it based on reviews, and they were oh so good for the milk mousse. But for the whitening mask there were only a couple of them, but not bad for sure (but, as it turned out later, a couple of reviews are nothing for me). And now, impressions... I was thinking between this mousse with fruit acids and a simple one not from a professional line with chemical acids. Having described my skin, I was advised to take it with fruit ones, because... it should be more gentle. And the reviews were impressive (also, the cosmetologists themselves who worked for this brand; many singled out a few worthy products from the Premium professional line, which included this mousse). First I used this product (and then, after a while, there was a whitening mask). The mousse has a gel consistency, but a little pudding-like (why it’s a mousse, I don’t understand at all, it’s far from a mousse). That is, it is a little jelly-like. When you apply it to your face, it can slide off, so it’s better to smear it right away. I applied both of these products with a brush from Lancome (I was once given one when purchasing Lancome products, it seems to be specially suited for masks, the bristles are very delicate, even silk). At first I applied a lot, but then I realized that it was more convenient to use a brush, because... much more economical. The peeling has a pearly tint, which is especially noticeable when the mousse dries out a little on the face. When applied, the skin begins to tingle and also during the process. It does not dry out on the face, but, as I already said, it dries out slightly. I held it for 10 minutes. It is not washed off very easily, because... slippery, but washes off completely. Also, when rinsing off, I felt that the skin was slightly warmed up (i.e., there was a slight warmth inside the skin). After using it, I noticed a reddish color to my face (like a dark red color, especially on the cheeks). There was no leveling off; on the contrary, it only became redder. I can’t say how it cleans, but I didn’t notice anything “wow” (or not even “wow”, but just something good). The feeling of my cleansing mask from Shiseido is much more pleasant, and the result is visible, unlike this mousse. In general, the skin does not breathe, there is no feeling of cleanliness, no even tone, but only irritation.

I applied both the peeling and the mask with a brush that I had left over from a Lancome set a long time ago. It’s easier to apply simply with a brush.
