People with acne should use retinol with caution.
Before using a new cream or serum for the first time, perform a skin allergy test. If redness and peeling appear after using retinol, put the product aside for a couple of days.
Micelles
Water with micelles or micellar water is a product for gentle skin cleansing. It is used to remove makeup.
"Micelles are complexes of particles of surface-active substances (SAS). These molecules consist of two parts: hydrophilic and lipophilic. Due to this, they are able to cope with the full spectrum of contaminants: those that are washed off with water, and those that are washed off with oil textures. When they get on the skin, these molecules "attract" everything that needs to be removed from the face, preventing them from settling back on the skin," - Victoria Saifullina, dermatologist, cosmetologist, Docma specialist.
The safest option is micellar water with a pH of 5.5, without fragrances and dyes.
Doctor Saifullina emphasizes that micellar water is simply an additional cleansing agent. Contact with it is so short that adding some “special” active substances does not make sense - this is most often a marketing ploy.
What are the possible side effects of cosmetics?
Like any drug that has a pronounced positive effect, active components in cosmetics can provoke side effects. Any component can cause an individual allergic reaction. Moreover, the same component in a different form and in a composition with other ingredients can be tolerated by the skin. It is important that the active substances are combined with each other.
“Retinoids go well with niacinamide and vitamin C, AHA and BHA acids go well with niacinamide and vitamin C,” says Alexandra Pashkova, dermatologist.
An unsuccessful combination is acids and retinoids, as the risk of skin irritation increases. The composition with such actives should include hyaluronic acid, phospholipids and other moisturizing components.
Many problems arise due to improper use of drugs, violation of dosages and frequency of their use. With improper use of acids, for example, there may even be chemical burns.
Injection rhinoplasty with hyaluronic acid, if done incorrectly, can even lead to tissue necrosis — Secret wrote about this here. And you can prolong the youth of your skin not only with the help of “beauty shots” and cosmetics: you should start with nutrition.
