Avoid using retinol or exfoliating products for at least a week before your peel. Ensure your skin is well-hydrated and free of open wounds or active infections. Stay out of the sun and use a broad-spectrum SPF to protect your skin.
As the peel is applied, you may experience a mild to moderate burning sensation for five to ten minutes. The treatment involves three steps: acid exfoliation, retinol application, and a calming cream to reduce inflammation. The entire process takes about 30-45 minutes.
Expect redness and peeling for three to five days following the treatment. Use a broad-spectrum SPF daily to keep your skin moisturized and avoid direct sun exposure. To prevent irritation, avoid using makeup until your skin has fully healed.
