Consumer reviews of Serum Vegetal peeling from Yves Rocher

Ksenia, 36 years old, Krasnodar:

For a very long time I could not get used to sleeping with my face smeared, due to which I did not get the desired effect. But it was worth the patience! The crusts from inflammation began to dry out faster, the skin tightened, became smooth and fresh. There were a huge number of wrinkles (a consequence of frequent stress), now I look much younger and more attractive. I recommend!

Lydia, 29 years old, Perm:

I really liked this product, the effect is noticeable after the first use, the skin is fresh and smooth. I recommend to all! The price, of course, is high, but if you consider that this is a super-economical cosmetic that lasts a long time, then the cost of the product becomes quite acceptable. My recommendations.

Dorotheanthus is a small succulent that adapts well to harsh climatic conditions and can accumulate enough liquid and nutrients to survive without water for a certain period of time. The plant extract is indispensable in the fight against age-related skin changes.

How to properly apply herbal peeling?

Yves Rocher's herbal peeling can be safely called “salvation for the lazy,” since it does not even require separate rinsing. The procedure is extremely simple:

1. We carry out evening cleansing of the skin from makeup and impurities in the usual way.
2. Shake the bottle thoroughly and distribute the product over the face.

That's all. We will wash it off during the morning wash. When applied, the product forms a thin film on the face, but it does not cause skin tightness and does not cause discomfort during the night.

You can use the serum no more than 2 times a week. The product has a cumulative effect; you should not expect a magical smoothing of wrinkles after the first use. Based on reviews of Yves Rocher facial peeling, we can conclude that pronounced results appear after 2-3 months of regular use.

Care instructions

Yves Rocher compositions are characterized by a delicate effect and safe use.
The absence of negative consequences makes it possible to use them on a regular basis. After exfoliation there are no mandatory restrictions or prohibitions. To secure the result, certain conditions must be met:

• during the first days do not use aggressive detergents and decorative cosmetics;
• do not touch or scratch your face with your hands;
• do not expose the skin to active sun;
• Do not massage, hair removal, cleansing or hardware procedures.

What effect should you expect?

During the night, the peeling components have a light exfoliating effect, deeply moisturize the skin and restore it at the cellular level. As a result, in the morning you get:

• fresh, rested look;
• disappearance of irregularities on the skin;
• smoothing out wrinkles;
• healthy complexion;
• breathable pores;
• lack of greasy shine;
• reduction of inflammation.

To get the maximum effect, apply the product to your face 20-30 minutes before bed so that it has time to be absorbed and does not smear on the pillow. After just half an hour, you will feel how much smoother and hydrated your skin has become.

Indications

According to Olga Degtyareva, chemical peeling with acids is a universal procedure that is suitable for any skin, young and old. And in each case it will help in solving current problems.

In adolescence, it will help get rid of seborrhea - increased oiliness, give the face a matte appearance, reduce rashes and smooth out the consequences of post-acne. During the procedure, the acid dissolves the contents of the pores - “dark spots” on the face, making the skin look well-groomed and less bothered by the appearance of imperfections.

In adulthood, the procedure improves the condition of the skin, promotes its renewal and helps get rid of small expression wrinkles. She cannot cope with large ones, but even after a single procedure there is a pronounced lifting effect.

“Superficial chemical peeling can be considered as a procedure on the eve of a release,” Olga Degtyareva clarifies. — After exposure to acids, the skin instantly tightens, and the very next day the lifting effect is visible to the naked eye. Therefore, if you want to prepare for an event and look especially good, you can do a superficial fruit peel the day before and instantly transform your skin.”

Reviews

• Nadya, 38 years old : “I never thought about how difficult it is to produce a natural cosmetic product; it can take years to find the ideal combination of its ingredients. After watching a video from Yves Rocher about the production of their products, I immediately decided to try their cream, chose a representative of the Lifting line and was pleased with its effect. The texture is easy to apply to the skin, the product has a pleasant, barely audible aroma, it acts gently on wrinkles, but noticeably smoothes them out.”
• Lilia, 25 years old : “I really love the Yves Rocher “Natural Glow” line. I have been using her creams for two years now, they make my skin well-groomed, moisturize it, and successfully maintain its natural glow. I didn’t notice that any of the products I used clogged my pores; after applying them, the skin “breathes.” Without these creams, I can’t imagine what I would use.”

What is fruit peeling

It is not by chance that chemical peeling with acids is called fruit peeling. To carry it out, compositions containing organic AHA acids are used. These substances are obtained from plant materials - grapes, apples, citrus fruits, tomatoes and even sugar cane.

The concentration of active substances in cosmetic products is many times higher than in the fruits themselves. Therefore, in terms of effectiveness, homemade masks with pieces of lemon or strawberries are seriously inferior to professional products. Cosmetologists use such peelings for chemical and superficial cleansing of the skin, affecting only its upper layers.

“When performing fruit peeling, we create a controlled burn,” comments cosmetologist Olga Degtyareva. “In response to it, the skin launches restoration processes.”​​​​​​

Effects of AHA Fruit Peel

During recovery, the state of the epidermis changes. Chemical acids dissolve dead cells that accumulate on the surface of the epidermis, so that after the first procedure the face becomes fresher and brighter. And after the course, visible changes are noted:

• smoothing out small wrinkles;
• pronounced hydration;
• increased elasticity;
• reduction in fat content;
• reducing the number of blackheads;
• evens out complexion and eliminates hyperpigmentation.

“The main effect of peeling with fruit acids is the reduction of hyperpigmentation,” continues cosmetologist Olga Degtyareva. — If you have age spots, you can take a course of peelings to even out your complexion. It is impossible to predict the number of procedures in advance, since exfoliation occurs differently in each patient and the depth of the pigment is different. But the right concentration of the substance and a sufficient duration of the course will help get rid of this problem.”
