Opinion of cosmetologists

What can you achieve by cleansing your facial skin?
For any skin condition, after cleansing the face, the skin becomes more well-groomed and smooth. It is easier to apply makeup on it. The skin responds better to nourishing and healing creams - their action becomes more effective. Pore size decreases. This significantly reduces the likelihood of skin inflammation. Like peelings, facial cleansing for acne helps remove dead cells and stimulates renewal and rejuvenation of facial skin. It is not possible to cope with acne solely by cleansing your face. But this procedure is effectively used at one of the stages of skin treatment.
Acids used during the procedure
It is very important to choose the right drugs, since the result depends on them. The choice of one or another substance is influenced by the condition of the skin and the type of defect.
- One of the most effective facial cleansers is glycolic acid. This substance contains the smallest molecules, which allows it to penetrate into the deep layers of the skin and achieve the best results.
- A very strong antioxidant, citric acid, neutralizes free radicals that accumulate in the epidermis layer. In addition, the substance is endowed with antibacterial properties and helps eliminate excess pigmentation.
- To speed up the process of skin cell regeneration, malic acid is used to stimulate the production of natural collagen. The substance has antioxidant properties, provides the skin with protection from harmful external influences, saturates it with useful microelements, accelerates the process of cell restoration, and improves nutrition.
- Lactic acid is used to thoroughly moisturize the skin.
- Tartaric acid has excellent whitening properties that help remove pigmentation.
- Retinoic acid, or tretinoin, normalizes sebum levels, reduces the thickness of the stratum corneum, and has an anti-inflammatory effect. All these properties allow you to effectively fight acne.
Mixtures consisting of several acids will help solve several problems in a comprehensive manner. Vitamins are often added to the preparation for atraumatic cleaning. As a rule, retinol (vitamin A) and tocopherol (vitamin E) are added to the composition. The addition of hyaluronic acid helps to achieve a good lifting effect and deeply moisturize the epidermis. If you supplement lactic acid with arbutin, you get an excellent product that evens out the surface of the skin. This combination is used after acne treatment.
