Acid peeling: do we know everything about its possible components

About acid peeling, as it seems to us, almost everything is already known. The acidic composition of superficial and medium peels is quite traditional, and even patients of cosmetology clinics can quite confidently list the typical components of cleansing procedures. There is a sense in such stability of peeling compositions – this is a traumatic procedure for the skin, and the doctor must be extremely careful in choosing peeling products so that the procedure is both successful and safe for the patient. However, Renaissance (Italy) managed to create an innovative multi-component peeling system Caravaggio based on atypical acids. How the system works, I found out estet-portal.com.

What does the combination of acids in a multi-component peeling system give

Specialists of the Italian company Renaissance have created a unique multi-component peeling system, the task of which is to ensure that each of the acids that make up the preparation can work at different depths of the skin, activating important metabolic processes. In addition to the traditional acid peeling components – mandelic, azelaic, salicylic, kojic acids, there are many rare components in the Caravaggio multicomponent system that were previously considered incompatible. We are talking about such acids as vanillic, coffee, ferulic, coumaric and some others, they can be used all year round.

Rare acids in Caravaggio peels enhance and complement each other's action, actively work at different levels of the skin, stimulating its regeneration, and allow solving a very wide range of aesthetic problems, regardless of the season

Indications for the use of the Caravaggio multicomponent peeling system, presented on our market by Fito Land, are such skin defects as age spots of any etiology, dyschromia, manifestations of fine wrinkles, signs of photoaging and age-related skin changes. With the help of Caravaggio peels, you can reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks, improve the condition of the skin with acne, acne, melasma. Caravaggio – an excellent tool to stimulate skin regeneration, moisturize it, improve texture and give a healthy glow.

Caravaggio multi-component peeling system includes peels of different intensity:

soft (superficial) –  cleanses, improves skin color, gives radiance;

intense (superficial-medial) – whitens, eliminates fine wrinkles.

Peelings are complemented by versatile products such as Chemi-scrub pre-peeling, Offset neutralizer and Remedy post-peeling cream.

Features of the soft version of the acid peel and its composition

Indication for the use of Caravaggio SOFT peeling is the manifestation of seborrhea, the appearance of fine wrinkles, signs of photoaging and age-related skin changes.

Combination of acids in Caravaggio peeling SOFT

Almond	As an alpha hydroxy acid, it accelerates the natural rate of skin cell renewal. Contributes to the strengthening of collagen in our skin, thus delaying the signs of aging, reducing the appearance of wrinkles on the skin
Vanillin	Oxidation form of vanillin. Belongs to the Orchid family, growing in the rainforests of America. Vanilla is a source of catechins (also known as polyphenols), which have antioxidant activity and serve as anti-inflammatory agents. It has powerful whitening properties.
Cinnamon	It is the precursor of a group of polyphenols called hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives, which include acids such as coumaric, caffeic, ferulic.  It is a powerful antioxidant that protects against UV rays at SPF 25, reduces inflammation and redness, and retains moisture in the skin. Found in shea butter and cinnamon. This acid can act like an AHA, penetrating the skin and enhancing cell regeneration by inhibiting tyrosinase
Salicylic	Has a drying and mild analgesic effect, penetrates well into the deep layers, renews cells, works with acne, exfoliates the top layer, softens sebaceous plugs and pushes them out, brightens spots from removed acne, works with psoriasis, demodicosis, seborrheic dermatitis, neutralizes the action of pathogenic microflora
Kumarovaya	This is an organic phenolic compound that is a hydroxy derivative of cinnamic acid. Coumaric acid can be found in a wide variety of edible plants such as peanuts, carrots, tomatoes, and garlic. Coumaric acid has antioxidant properties
Ferulic	An organic phenolic compound associated with trans-cinnamic acid. This acid is found in plant seeds such as rice, wheat, and oats, as well as coffee, apple, artichoke, peanut, orange, and pineapple. Ferulic acid, like many of the phenols, is an antioxidant in the sense that it can react with free radicals such as reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS radicals and free radicals are involved in DNA damage, cancer. Accelerated cellular aging can reduce the oxidative process and the formation of thymine dimers in the skin. Ferulic acid helps prevent cell damage caused by ultraviolet light. Effective against two highly destructive free radicals: superoxide and hydroxyl radical. Ferulic acid also prevents the destruction of vitamins

Additional active ingredients of Caravaggio SOFT peeling are polyphenols, which have a strong antioxidant effect, neutralize the harmful effects of free radicals.

Quercetin can fight and neutralize free radicals, which are the main cause of aging, as well as prevent the harmful effects of solar radiation, plays an important role in preventing skin cancer. In addition, quercetin is effective in the treatment of eczema, rashes, and promotes wound healing.

Procedure for effective acid peeling

The peculiarity of the Caravaggio multicomponent system is the complete compatibility of salon and home care, since the scrub and post-peeling cream preceding the procedure can be used at home, preparing the skin for the procedure or accelerating its recovery after peeling. It is also nice that for the procedure and the solution of almost any skin problems, it is enough to use only 2 ml of scrub and peeling composition, which cannot but please both cosmetologists and their patients with its economy.

Caravaggio peel protocol

Step 1. Caravaggio CHEMI-SCRUB is used before all peels, which prepares the skin for acid exposure by lowering the pH level.

Apply the scrub with massage movements on the previously cleansed skin and massage until completely absorbed.

• We start applying the scrub from the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) and décolleté. Next, we process the cheeks, neck and periorbital zone.
• The scrub is not washed off, the remains of the abrasive are removed with a dry cloth. In home use, the scrub is not washed off with water, the remnants of the abrasive are removed with a dry cloth.
Step 2. Applying Caravaggio SOFT peeling

Apply a couple of drops with gloved hands starting from the T-zone, massage until completely absorbed.

• For thicker skin or to enhance the effect, the application can be repeated.
• Exposure time 5 – 15 min or until erythema appears.
Applying the Caravaggio I INTENSE peeling is done in exactly the same way, but the exposure time is reduced to 2-5 minutes or until erythema appears. During the procedure, the patient may feel a slight burning sensation or itching.

Step 3. Applying Caravaggio OFFSET - NEUTRALIZER

1.5 – Apply 2 ml of the drug to the skin with light massage movements, do not rinse with water. To enhance the exfoliating effect, the neutralizer should be washed off with water.

The Neutralizer contains the amino acid arginine, which, in addition to neutralizing properties, has the effect of reverse osmosis (the ability to attract water to the surface of the skin), thereby creating an instant lifting effect.

Step 4. Finishing the treatment with the application of Caravaggio REMEDY post-peeling cream

Apply 2 mg of cream and distribute with massage movements over the face until completely absorbed. The cream instantly soothes, restores and nourishes the skin due to the rich regenerating composition,  contains UV filters.

The course of procedures for the multi-component peeling system Caravaggio from Renaissance is:

soft peeling – 3-6 sessions once a week;

• intensive peeling – 4-8 sessions every 2 weeks.
After the peeling procedure, the skin will gently exfoliate for 3-7 days without a significant visual effect of peeling. In order to avoid dryness and to intensively restore the skin, the use of MONALISA anti-aging fluid is recommended in home care.

In addition to the fluid, it is recommended to use the RENAISSANCE Mask in home care. It is obligatory to use a san-block after the procedure. The procedure for acid peeling using the Caravaggio multicomponent system, presented on our market by
