Collection: Post-Chemical Peel Skincare Products

Immediately following a chemical peel, the focus should remain on a minimal, soothing routine. For the first few days, only gentle cleansers, hydrating serums, and barrier-repair moisturisers, such as the Epicutis Lipid Recovery Mask, should be used. Mineral-based makeup designed for post-procedure can be applied immediately without disrupting the recovery process. More active or intensive products should be avoided for 24–72 hours until the skin has stabilised, after which the full post-peel routine can be safely resumed under professional guidance.

To help your skin heal after a chemical peel, keep your routine simple and consistent. Cleanse with a non-stripping cleanser, such as Obagi Gentle Cleanser, apply a hydrating serum, such as SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Gel, and restore the barrier with nourishing treatments, such as the Epicutis Lipid Recovery Mask. Avoid touching, picking, or exfoliating the skin, and maintain daily sun protection.

High-strength Vitamin C serums are typically too active and acidic for the immediate post-peel period. It is best to avoid them for at least 72 hours, or until your skin has fully healed, to prevent irritation. Once your skin has recovered, you can slowly reintroduce a stable Vitamin C serum to help maintain your results. Always consult your practitioner for post-procedure advice and queries.

Following a chemical peel, the skin’s surface is refined and temporarily more vulnerable to external stressors. A precise post-chemical skincare routine is essential to protect and strengthen the skin while maintaining your treatment results. Focus on hydration, barrier repair, and protection to calm sensitivity and reduce visible redness or flaking. Using gentle, non-active post-chemical peel products helps to accelerate recovery and preserve your skin’s natural luminosity, ensuring an even, radiant finish.
