• The post peel towelettes are a crucial part of the peeling process and must be applied on the 1st and 2nd days

• The Post Peel Protectant may sting upon application, but stinging quickly subsides

• Avoid sun exposure during the peeling phase. The use of sunscreen is essential

• During the week following the peel, you may use a gentle cleanser
