what kind of brand cream or lotion should you use after a peel?

I use the serum that came with my Microdermabrasion machine. But I also use Vitamin C and Vitamin E. Also, Argan oil. You can really use anything. I like doing vitamin c and E right after because it will absorb much better since removing the dead layer of skin!

I use the Nivea scentless lotion ... it comes in a small white bottle...as long as you use a scentless high end moisturizer or lotion you should be fine

I use raw coconut oil nightly, and especially right after my peel. LOVE it and its cheap!

I like to use Cetaphil cream. The thick cream that comes in a large jar (I buy Walmart's brand). Also, in the days following the peel, when my skin is dry and peeling, I smear Aquaphor Healing Ointment on my face at night. I try to put an old pillow case on my pillow when I do this because the stuff gets on everything my face touches, but it's a huge help when I'm peeling. I think organic coconut oil is also a good thing to use. But be careful if you're acne prone because they say it may purge your skin when you first use it. Good luck!

I use moisturizer with SPF during the day and just moisturizer at night. I have also used vitamin c and both do the job. I have oily skin so I don't dry out or peel much.

I would def put lotion on first wait 5mins and apply sunscreen. But you may want to ask your Dr.

I'm currently using dermalogica: solar defense booster. You can mix it in with the regimen moisturizer. It does not leave a white residue and is not oily. Although, It's a bit pricey so I'm on the look out for a cheaper alternative.

I usually wait until most of the peeling is complete, then start applying moisturizing cream.

I use a tinted moisturizer in the morning. At night once I've used the peel pads I use Ole Hendrickson products. This is not a harsh peel pad so unless you turn red after these type of products-you should have no problem using the moisturizer you like. I hope this helps!

Yes, in a few days peeling starts and last about a week to clear up ,wear sunscreen if u go outside, and heavy moisturizing cream by night, hope it helps.

Applying lotion is up to you. For my own treatment, I soaked my feet in warm water before I used the booties. It took about a week for the peeling to really get going. When it started, I used lotion every day after I showered, when I scrubbed off what was peeling and put socks on until the peeling was done.

You should stop using 5-7 days prior to peeling. There should be a period of rest (5-7 days) between the use of the pre-peel wash and the actual peel.

I'd recommend using this peel until you get the desired result and then follow up with a cream or serum to help maintain the results. If you don't then your skin will gradually darken again.

I found a great website that has some good information that explains the difference in chemical peels that might be helpful. The website is: http://www.skinacea.com/facials/peels/chemical.html#.U3Gp-8JOXwp

It is really hard to say which one is best. I wanted a less harsh peel so the recovery would not be so obvious so I got 30% and the longer u leave it on the more it does. You have to just take baby steps and not try to overdo it. This is not something u can reverse if u burn ur skin by using something that is too harsh. It's not so expensive that u couldn't start with 30% and see how it goes before using 40% and regretting it!

This is something I have found with other products as well. Use less. A light application goes a long way! Trying to rub into skin causes the peeling effect. I found cleansing/moisturizing 30 or more minutes before bed allows skin to absorb the creams moisture without the heaviness of over application.

use the very thin layer of a waterproof lotion, that don't irritate the skin

Apply with a cottonball. Recommended waiting time is 2 min. I wait at least 15 min. If you have ever used a peel before recovery time is fairly quickly a day or two with only minimal pinkness. Follow directions for first time users then build up.

I leave it on for 3 minutes closely timed. I find if I exfoliate first, works even better. I do this before bedtime and use a glob of Alavera Sun burn gel, triple antibiotic ointment and cerave moisturizing lotion mixture applied after. Makes a great after care lotion. Keeps face from drying out and cools down skin. I do a chemical treatment once every five days. I have just started using the 30% Salicylic acid gel peel for 3 minutes at a time. I've used the 20% for about a year first. You will have to experiment with the time. If you start to frost heavily, I would neutralise. You can use baking soda and water to neutralise. Works well. I find if I frost, that is usually where I peel in the next few days.

Not sure, but I used moisturizer after. It doesn't matter what kind, This is what I do. Serum, moisturizer, sunscreen in Am. Serum, moisturizer, retinol in PM. Retinol can be a little tough on skin, but I only use retinol about 3 times per week. Hope this help.

Rinse ur face with cold water about 10-15 mins, and cover your whole face with cool towel or wash cloth(I put wet wash cloth in the freezer before I start peeling every time, so I can use it in cool right after rinsing face). And last step is to put moisturizer on your face.
