Can I use this after a chemical peel

Hi Brittany, thanks for the question. We know that each person's skin reacts differently to treatments. I would recommend doing a spot test after your chemical peel to see how your skin responds. Some people can experience negative Vitamin C serum side effects after a strong exfoliation session. It can be recommended not to use Vitamin C serum after a chemical peel for a week. Typically the aesthetician administering your chemical peel will give you directions for post treatment skin care.

I use it after I do the infared light and other procedures and its affects are more dramatic! I recommend it!

I don't feel its caustic at all have used after chemical removal of eyebrows and it does not seem to sting I would be careful with a little at a time I have also used after using a using a micro needle roller with no stinging. I like it and will order again

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.

Areas of the body peel at different rates... Its normal for a TCA peel to take up to 2 weeks. Youre fine as long as you dont see puss or experiencing pain. Keep it moisturized with something thick like aquaphor but make sure your not agitating it. Please do not scrub it prematurely. That will do more bad than good and potentially cause hypo/hyper pigmentation. Let it heal and slough off on its own. Hope this helps. <3

Thank you...was having a mini meltdown. Sadly I didn't think I'd have this reaction and didn't plan for this appearance. I did a 30% glycolic peel a few weeks ago and there was no one minute of downtime. It just made me glow. Do you think it's better to let it get very dry so it will maybe peel faster or reapply my moisturizer to keep it hydrated? I look so crazy and have to work on Rodeo Dr. tomorrow. :(

The only thing I used was the chemical peel neutralizer for $10.00. I put this on after I did this peel.

I think they mean to use it daily beginning 5-7 days before the peel. I loved the results so much that I use it every day now.

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.

I'm not entirely sure but I'd guess yes. If it were me, I'd use a spray sunscreen AFTER using the wipes.

A clean substrait is extremely important for a good outcome using this product. My advice is to start with a clean surface. Strip away the old material. Also a rubberized seal coating will also extend the life of the peel and stick.

No. But, again my skin is okay with TCA peel without excessive use and I only use for 1 or 2 minutes each times for last 6 months then wash with cold water immediately, then I do not use fancy cream afterward to calm my skin but I used lavendar oil acting as calming my skin and vaseline at hand on my face. Hope this helps for you.

It burned the *expletive deleted* out of my face after about a minute. I left it in probably for about 3 minutes before I used baking soda to neutralize it. I would say do a test on your neck or something first because it was not my first peel I knew what to expect. What I do now is I only put it on areas that are uneven in tone or that have pimples and leave it for the full time (about 8-10 min) or as long as I can stand it LOL and then neutralize it. Follow up with a moisturizer for your skin type (I use pure argan oil from Morocco) and you're good to go! It is a pretty decent peel even if it burns a bit and it doesn't quite PEEL peel but you'll notice your skins clarity improves. Hope this helped!

Thank you everyone for the swift answer! Will you all recommend I use it just once a week than? I initially did not mind the peel, as it is actually clearing the dark marks of my pit and what not, it just got bad it all.

After through cold water rinsing about 3/4min. I think it stops the process which I believe its the same kind of "neutralization".For me, applying an antibiotic cream about a week or longer to complete peel was essential.And if you are not a trained person, read the insturction very carefully ..and read over and over to understand.I keep using this product often as I like.

I'm not sure. But I had a bad experience putting this directly on my skin without diluting. It's been almost a year and I still have large scars from this peel. I wouldn't put it as is on my skin. I suggest diluting it (especially if you are new to peels.) Good luck.

Yes just give it a minute to absorb. I found I didn't need to use my primer anymore. But your results may vary.

No down time with this one. I like to use water or aveno facial bar (soap free) to rinse off. You could apply with the gauze pad or your finger tip. Always wear sunscreen after a peel.
