Pyruvic acid (green) peeling – freshness and beauty of your face

Pyruvic peeling (its features)

One of the most popular pyruvic peels is “Cosmoteros”. Other well-known brands that produce similar products are:

• Italian "Enerpeel";
• domestic "Mediccontrolpeel" and "Martinex";
• Spanish "Mediderma" and "Toskani cosmetics".

Peeling using pyruvic acid is significantly more effective than a similar procedure using glycolic acid.

A similar session of chemical exfoliation of the epidermis can be compared to peeling with trichloroacetic acid.

The peculiarities of this manipulation are that it is usually well tolerated by the patient’s body, and the chemical properties of the solution eliminate the occurrence of allergic reactions.

This is due to the fact that lactic acid is contained in the soft tissues of the human body and is not perceived by it as a foreign substance. Reviews from cosmetologists about pyruvic peeling confirm this fact.

The reason for the popularity of pyruvine peeling is its effectiveness, relative ease of implementation, the absence of a long rehabilitation time, as well as minimal contraindications to its implementation.
