Ferul peeling: what is it and how to use it?
Every woman is looking for the perfect method to rejuvenate and cleanse her skin. Ferul peeling has proven itself all over the world. The procedure has a small list of contraindications and this makes it affordable for many. Acid peeling can be done at any time of the year. Even women with sensitive skin can use such an effective method.
Peculiarities
Chemical peeling with preparations based on natural substances is quite justifiably very popular. From a chemical point of view, these are alpha-hydroxy acids, which are found in many plants and products, in the fruits of trees and bushes. Fruit acids are found in the foods we are used to. One of these substances is called ferulic acid.
Preparations for skin cleansing procedures contain not only fruit acid, but also other additional substances.
Properties
The presence of such a component in common food products endows them with antioxidant properties and helps to get rid of various microorganisms. The acid completely destroys reactive and free oxygen species. The latter, in turn, lead to aging, damage to the DNA of cells, and contribute to the formation of malignant tumors.
As part of the peeling mixture, the main component is combined with vitamins E and C, due to which oxidative stress is reduced and thymine dimers are not formed. The latter lead to mutations as a result of significant damage to cellular DNA. Dimers often lead to the formation of melanomas.
Ferul peeling composition
The tool consists of active substances that are collected in liposomal nanocapsules with a diameter of 50 to 200 nm. Such capsules have a two-layer structure, like the cell membrane. Such a structure helps nanosomes penetrate deep into the epidermal layer, and there they release the very active substances.
The unique product delivers active ingredients to the affected area more efficiently than other drugs. Miniature capsules increase the degree of long-term effect, and reduce the area of toxicity of the active ingredients, thereby reducing the chance of side effects.
Ferul peeling is also better than the classic one in that it controls the distribution and depth of the effect of active substances. Moreover, this method cleans and rejuvenates the skin better.
Results of the procedure
Peeling contains many acids, vitamins and useful microelements. This combination provides a versatile effect on the skin.
Ferul peeling gives the following results:
- the upper layers of the skin are cleared of impurities;
- the skin gets rid of dead cells;
- as a result of stimulating recovery processes, minor injuries heal much faster;
- vascular walls become stronger, blood microcirculation improves;
- the sebaceous glands work much more stable, as a result of which the oily skin is normalized;
- the activity of bacterial infections decreases;
- rashes, redness, age spots on the face disappear;
- local immunity becomes significantly higher due to the improvement of the protective properties of the skin;
- the aging process is significantly slowed down due to the complete destruction of free oxygen forms;
- the skin tone becomes lighter, and further pigmentation is unlikely;
- acne and post-acne disappear;
- stabilizes the water balance in skin cells;
- relief improves, shallow wrinkles are smoothed out;
- moderate dermis lifting is provided.
It is rightfully considered a great advantage that the acid shows better results when exposed to ultraviolet rays. The skin is able to protect itself from the harmful effects of the sun. With this effect on the skin after peeling, the severity of photo and bioaging is significantly reduced.
A small amount of acid acts exclusively on the upper layer of the epidermis, therefore, the barrier functions of other layers are fully preserved.
Indications
The procedure is prescribed by dermatologists and cosmetologists based on the condition of your skin.
It is worth considering going for an all-season procedure in such cases:
- hormonal rashes (acne) and their consequences (post-acne);
- excessive pigmentation of the skin, the presence of chloasma;
- problems with oily or dry skin, disruption of the sebaceous glands;
- manifestation of photo- and / or bio-aging;
- acne and its consequences;
- shallow wrinkles, discoloration of the skin under the eyes.
Experts often recommend using an all-season peeling in the spring-summer period, as another procedure may cause additional pigmentation. The annual course includes 7 sessions. The procedure is effective at any age. It helps to get rid of hormonal breakouts at a young age and to rejuvenate the skin after 35 years.
Contraindications
The procedure is not universal for everyone.
Cleansing the skin with ferulic acid has the following contraindications:

Application technology
The peeling procedure with ferulic acid by a knowledgeable specialist takes little time.
The session consists of four stages.
- At the very beginning, it is necessary to prepare the skin for the future effects of the complex of substances. For this, a special cream is used; it contains fruit acids.The beautician applies it to the skin 1-1.5 weeks before the peeling.
- Visible impurities are removed from the face and a peeling product is applied.
- After a certain time, the peeling composition is washed off with water.
- The specialist performs manual massage with a calming effect. The skin is treated with a cream.
Peeling involves a course of 3-10 sessions. Between the impacts, at least 7 days should elapse for the skin to recover. Not everyone can go to a beautician for a ferul peeling, and many try to repeat the procedure at home. Experts admit this option, but argue that non-observance of the peeling rules can lead to serious consequences.
If you still decide to carry out the procedure at home, then get a quality product with ferulic acid and carefully study all the nuances of cleaning.
There are several important points to keep in mind when peeling at home.
- Despite the gentle effect, the acids in the peel can cause chemical burns.
- It is necessary to use species with an error of no more than 0.01 g. Otherwise, there is a risk of getting a useless or dangerous composition.
- It will not be possible to avoid costs; you will need expensive components. You cannot buy them in small quantities, the costs will be comparable to the cost of a salon procedure.
- During the procedure, it is necessary to protect the eyes and hands from the effects of acids. You will need a dedicated pH tester. Stock up on separate glass containers and chopsticks that can't be used later in the kitchen.
