Of course, today yellow peeling is considered one of the most effective and painless anti-aging procedures, which is gaining more and more fans.
Yellow peeling or, as it is also called, retinol peeling is considered a type of superficial-medium chemical peeling. Its action is aimed at preventing age-related skin changes and combating their early manifestations. There are two types of yellow peeling: peeling based on synthetic retinoic acid and peeling, where natural retinol acts as a chemical agent. In the first case, a soft and comfortable effect on the skin is achieved, as a result of which the recovery period does not last long (about two days). In terms of its impact, it is considered average. Peeling with natural retinol, which is extracted from extracts of the tropical Urucum bush (Amazonia), is considered superficial (enzymatic), so it can be done quite often. Being a fat-soluble substance, retinol makes its way through the lipid layer of the skin and connects with receptors on cells.
Retinoic acid, which is an integral component of yellow peeling, turns the face yellow after the procedure. Hence the corresponding name “Yellow Peeling”. Retinoic acid is involved in redox processes and cellular metabolism, stimulating dermal cells, which enhances the production of collagen and elastin, stimulates the synthesis of epidermal lipids, and also has bactericidal and comedolytic effects. In addition, retinol peeling contains kojic, ascorbic, azelaic, and phytic acids, which help eliminate the formation of hyperpigmentation and enhance the effect of retinoic acid. Yellow peeling promotes cellular regeneration, stimulates blood circulation in the dermis and protein synthesis.
This type of peeling has a gentle effect, so it can be used for any skin type, including sensitive, thin, young, etc. Thanks to its delicate effect, yellow peeling can be used on the skin of the eyelids, neck and décolleté, as well as hands. In addition, one of the advantages of this type of peeling is the possibility of performing it at any time of the year. This rejuvenating procedure is recommended for women aged 35-50 years, but can also be used in younger years of 20-25 years (it is during this period that the first signs of skin aging appear). Yellow peeling, unlike other types of peeling, is a completely painless procedure with a short recovery period (2-4 days), which has no side effects or any complications.
The rejuvenating result after yellow peeling lasts for six months.

This composition is applied to the skin for twenty minutes. In the first few seconds, patients may experience a slight burning sensation and tingling of the skin, which disappears very quickly. After the specified time, the retinol peeling is neutralized, and the composition is washed off.

Like any peeling, retinoic peeling is aimed at renewing the skin and improving appearance skin. But it has a number of features that fundamentally distinguish it from its “colleagues”, be it acid, mechanical or hardware versions of peeling. What is its unusualness and why is it called “peeling from the inside”?
The main component is retinoic acid. It stimulates the growth and proliferation of keratinocytes, accelerates cellular renewal. It also turns the product yellow. To make it easier to understand how retinoids work with skin cells, let's compare them with their main competitors - for example, glycolic acid. Its goal is to damage the stratum corneum of the skin, resulting in the exfoliation of old cells and their replacement with new ones. Retinoids act differently: they do not destroy anything, moreover, they do not work directly at all either with the cells of the stratum corneum or with intercellular structures.

The target is not the surface of the epidermis, but the deeper basal layer in which cells originate. Being small lipophilic molecules, retinoids easily reach their destination and significantly accelerate the division of keratinocytes, or, more simply, the formation of new cells. Young keratinocytes en masse begin to move upward, to the surface of the skin, and literally push out the overlying layers. Hence the effect of exfoliation and renewal.
Retinoic peeling does not destroy dead structures, but stimulates living ones by contacting cell nuclei through special receptors. Moreover, retinoic acid interacts not only with keratinocytes, but also with fibroblasts and melanocytes, improving the condition of the skin in several indicators, including density, elasticity and uniformity of pigmentation.
In addition to retinoic acid itself, the peeling preparation includes auxiliary components, mainly acids, that can enhance one or another cosmetic effect. For example:
whitening: Fetinic, kojic, azeloic acids;
exfoliation: salicylic acid;
fight against free radicals: vitamin C;
calming and anti-stress effect: allantoin, aloe and chamomile extracts.
The abilities of retinoic peeling are multifaceted. In addition to standard indications for peelings, including dullness, increased greasiness, uneven surface, retinoic acid works with age-related skin changes, such as:
Therefore, the majority of fans of retinoic peeling are women who have crossed the forty-year mark.
Like any peeling, retinoic peeling is done in a course. Although the result in the form of fresh, renewed, radiant, smooth skin can be noticed after the first session. The final effect depends on the number of procedures, the concentration of the chemical agent, and the peeling application regimen. As a result, you can achieve:
smoothing superficial wrinkles and reducing deep ones;
lightening or complete disappearance of age spots;
even out skin texture and tone;
skin tightening and light lifting.
Among cosmetologists and patients, retinoic peeling is known as “Yellow Peel”. The fact is that retinoic acid, like all synthetic analogues of vitamin A, has a bright yellow or Orange color- hence the name.
The composition of the peeling and the concentration of the main substance vary depending on specific drug and manufacturer. Typically, professional Yellow Peel contains 5-10% retinoic acid.

As for the usual classification of peelings (superficial, medium, deep), in the case of retinoids it is very arbitrary. Strictly speaking, retinoic peeling cannot be superficial, since it only works in the deep basal layer of the epidermis. However, with Yellow Peel you can achieve:
light exfoliation;
medium and medium-deep peeling, renewing all layers of the epidermis.
There is a type of retinoic peeling that works only to tighten the skin turgor and does not cause peeling at all.
Two weeks before the “yellow peeling”, start using home care products with acids. This will help your skin clear the way for retinoids to penetrate into the deeper layers. Usually, special cosmetics are recommended by a cosmetologist. We provide examples of products that meet the requirements of pre-peeling preparation.
Two-stage peeling Visionnaire Crescendo, Lancôme consists of two parts, each of which is designed for two weeks of use. The first phase, just the preparatory phase, includes a low concentration of fruit acids and quinoa husk extract. These substances provide easy exfoliation and accustom the skin to the active action of peeling agents.
Cleansing toner for mature skin against imperfections Blemish & Age Solution, SkinCeuticals Suitable for preparing skin for salon peeling. Contains glycolic, salicylic and capryloyl-salicylic acids for gradual gentle exfoliation.
Night peeling that activates skin radiance, Idéalia, Vichy The formula contains glycolic acid 4% + Hepes 5%, as well as antioxidant blueberry extract. Renews skin and enhances its radiance with fermented black tea extract.
Before applying the yellow peel, the skin is cleansed and treated with an acid-based lotion to loosen the stratum corneum and facilitate the penetration of retinoic acid.
The peeling itself is a yellow cream mask, which is applied in a thin layer to the entire face (including the skin around the eyes) or to individual areas using rubbing movements. This ends the mandatory stages of the protocol - further options are possible.
Peeling can be tolerated on the face 15-20 minutes, and then rinse with a solution with neutral pH.
Maybe repeated(and repeated) application and rinsing of retinoic peeling during one session.
Another option: leave the mask on for six hours, and then the “yellow-faced” patient goes home and washes off the composition on his own.
The procedure is painless, the maximum discomfort is a slight tingling sensation and a feeling of warmth.

The rehabilitation period after a procedure with a moderate effect (that is, causing active peeling and renewal of the skin) takes an average of a week.
A feeling of tightness occurs on the 2nd day.
Peeling begins on the 4th day after peeling.
Please note: superficial peeling does not cause discomfort and violent peeling, but the effect of such peeling is less expressive.
During the post-peeling period, you will need cosmetics that meet special requirements. The main one is the complete absence of acids in the composition.
Washing with gel-like products that do not contain aggressive surfactants and oils. Our recommendation - cleaning micellar gel for face and eyelids Rosaliac Gel, La Roche-Posay, which contains hyaluronic acid in its composition, provides comfort and freshness when washing.
Care including products with the function of protecting and restoring the skin barrier. They need to be applied several times a day for 3–5 days after peeling.
Mandatory sun protection with maximum SPF.
We recommend a restorative soothing agent La Roche-Posay - Cicaplast balm SPF 50 with madecassoside for better skin regeneration and panthenol for a calming effect and restoration of the protective mantle. The solar screen and the prokerad component provide prevention of post-peeling pigmentation.
Yellow peeling reduces the skin's immunity, making it susceptible to infections. Often as side effect an exacerbation of herpes occurs. Usually cosmetologists prescribe special medications before peeling to prevent this reaction.
Retinoids in high concentrations cause large-plate peeling. Plus, the manifestation of retinoic dermatitis in certain areas of the skin is considered normal, which manifests itself:
redness;
increased sensitivity;
mild swelling.
Usually these troubles go away on their own after the rehabilitation period.

Yellow peeling appeared in our country relatively recently. During this time, it managed to become very popular due to its effectiveness.
Every month, millions of women in the USA, Europe, and more recently in Russia undergo yellow peeling.
This peeling is official called retinoic. It began to be called yellow due to the fact that during the procedure a mask of the corresponding color is applied to the face.
Retinoic peeling is based on the impact retinoic acid on the skin and belongs to one of the varieties.
Retinoic acid is synthetic analogue of vitamin A, which has a significant impact on regeneration processes in the skin.
Retinoic acid:
The use of acid in cosmetic procedures causes active peeling of the upper, damaged layer of skin and activation of the cell renewal process, due to which rejuvenating effect.
The active substances of the acid are a catalyst for the production of new elastin molecules, which enhances the refreshing effect. In addition, the use of retinol whitens the skin, reducing the signs photoaging and pigmented spots.
The procedure is simple. The contents of the tube, that is, a mask containing retinoic acid, are squeezed into a bowl and mixed. After this, the mixture is evenly applied to the skin using a special spatula.
The mask is also applied to the lower and upper areas of the eyelids. The eyelash and eyebrow areas should be avoided. Approximately after half an hour After application, the mask hardens.
If the peeling is one-day, the mask is not washed off. The patient goes home and washes it off himself after 12 hours.
If the peeling is two days, the session lasts several hours, during which the mask is applied and washed off several times. The last mask is left. The patient washes it off on his own after about 2 hours. After a few days, the procedure is repeated.
Before the procedure itself it won’t hurt skin preparation faces. It is carried out in order to prevent keratinization of the skin during the procedure. Keratinized skin does not allow retinoic acid to pass through easily, which means it reduces the effectiveness of the procedure.
Retinoic peeling takes place in several stages:
After yellow peeling, you need to cleanse your skin neutral soap. It is important to moisturize your skin during the first week to reduce flaking.
For this purpose, you can use the means that your doctor recommends. Far from the worst option is Vaseline.
It should definitely Ask your doctor how often you should moisturize your skin, as this is determined individually.
You are prohibited from using cosmetics for two weeks after the yellow peeling procedure., which contains retinoids and AHAs. It is not advisable to undergo other cosmetic procedures: permanent wave, etc.
Since retinol greatly increases skin sensitivity, during the first month, sunscreen will not hurt. You need to be in the sun as little as possible.
