Chemical Peel Aftercare
Thank you for trusting us with your chemical peel. Gentle care while your skin renews helps you get the best result.
First 24–48 hours
- Your skin may feel tight, warm or look slightly red, like a mild sunburn.
- Wash with lukewarm water and a gentle cleanser only, and pat dry.
- Use a simple, fragrance-free moisturizer and a mineral sunscreen when outdoors.
- Avoid makeup for the first day if you can.
Days 3–10
- Peeling or flaking usually starts around day 2–3 and can last up to a week.
- Let the skin peel on its own. Do not pick, pull or scrub.
- Keep moisturizing and use sunscreen every day.
What to avoid
- Retinol, acids, scrubs and other exfoliants for at least 1 week
- Direct sun, tanning, saunas, hot tubs and heavy sweating while peeling
- Waxing, laser or other facial treatments for 2 weeks unless we say otherwise
When to call us
- Blistering, crusting, oozing or severe pain
