I use Cetaphil cleanser and moisturizer 2 days before and after each peel. Afterwards I go back to my glycolic face wash.

I am at work right now so I cannot access the exact names, but the same company makes a wash and the calming moisturizer for post peel. Both of these are awesome. I use a battery operated scrubber made by Oil of Olay to wash my face. I have always had blackheads even though I wear very little on my skin. I wash for probably 3 or 4 minutes and then rinse well. I wait for several minutes and then use the peel. It does tingle and you think that it is burning, but it isn't. Wait the 4 minutes that it suggests and then rinse well with col water. Then apply the calming agent. A little goes a long way. Almost instantly, your skin feels marvelous. Hope you like it as much as I do.

I use this :Pre-Peel Salicylic Deep Gel Exfoliating Cleanser - Enhanced with Tea Tree Oil & Green Tea Extract (Professional) by PERFECT IMAGE before a peel (actually a couple of days prior to as well). And after, as in after I have neutralized the solution because I do a layered salicylic/lactic peel, I use a vit C serum and then a moisturizing sunscreen.For the days following face wash - I'm currently using the collagen cleanser by Cellbone. (http://cellbone.com/Collagen_Cleanser.htm) I have also used Cetaphil products as well. The key is gentle face wash post peel for a couple of days, moisturizer, and sunscreen.

Just use a general cleanser. I use a Mary Kay product for sensitive skin. As long as it has no harsh chemicals and no exfoliant in it you should be OK. Be sure to use a gental cleanser for a few days after you use the peel to prevent over drying and flaking. After washing your face before the peel be sure to cleanse your face and neck with alcohol twice. Hope this helps! I still love the peel, my skin has never felt so smooth or been so blemish free.

Well Ray, I use a general cleanser. I love Purity, which you can get at Ulta or Sephora. Just remember once you cleanse your face, you will need to take a cotten ball and put some alcohol on it to get any oil off your face before applying the peel. This brand makes a stronger peel also, but for right now this one is doing the job for me. I hope this helps!

Lol I have posted my whole skin care regimen which includes using this product along with others I purchased from Amazon, which totally helped me to clear moderately severe acne that I had been suffering from for over 10 years. Anyway, I guess it was too long to post or Amazon didn't like that, but to answer your question, I start with a clean and dried face before using this product and peel off after. You may rinse off any residue that's left after you peel it off.

What I normally do after using the soap, I put sunblock on my face (usually neutrogena SPF 100) then my primer and foundation. Works well for me.

This is something I have found with other products as well. Use less. A light application goes a long way! Trying to rub into skin causes the peeling effect. I found cleansing/moisturizing 30 or more minutes before bed allows skin to absorb the creams moisture without the heaviness of over application.

You can use any cleansers that you like. I personally use Johnson & Johnson "Purpose" just because it's really gentle. I have used clean & clear and Proactive too! So it's really up to your preference.

The instructions that come with the 20% Glycolic Peel are very specific, and tell you to rinse with a baking soda solution first, then pure water. I personally wouldn't use Witch Hazel afterwards, because it's very astringent and you've just given your skin a huge exfoliation. The rose water sounds good after the baking soda and pure water routine though, as it's much milder and neutral. That's just an opinion based on personal use.

Hi there, I use "checks and balances" cleanser by Origins, but any cleanser will work. I usually lather up the cleanser and rub it all over my face first, then turn on the spinning brush and work it all around my face. Hope that helps!

There is no need to preseason the peel before use. Simply use, clean with hot water, and dry thoroughly. Some food grade mineral oil can be applied after use to help add a bit of water resistance.

Easy to use. Wet face and hands, put a small amount on hand, rub together, then wash face. This is great stuff for dry skin. Rinse . I wash my hands before I rinse, makes your hands look terrific..!! Be sure to moisturizer afterwards.

I wipe my face with witch hazel and let air dry. Some use alcohol but I think witch hazel is less drying. I then squeeze a little gel peel on a cotton swab and spread over my face starting at my chin. My cheeks are most sensitive so I do them last or sometimes not at all. I then go over my face quickly a second time. I let set 5 minutes from the time I started putting it on my face. After 5 minutes I rinse the peel off with cool water for one full minute. Then blot dry with towel. Keep eyes tightly closed until peel is rinsed. Then I wipe my face with a neutralizing peel solution. I heard baking soda mixed in water works just as well. It's a base to neutralize the acid. I have been using the gel peel once every five days.

I just cleansed using my regular facial wash and then rinsed extra good, patted dry and then applied the peel... Hope this helps... Alcohol is just so drying that I wouldn't want to use it on my face.

Whatever cleanser you prefer. I would test with something mild first, depends on your skin how much it can tolerate, but this is a very thorough cleansing tool.

I use a Neutragena moist wipe to take my makeup off first and then I use the Cetaphil. It was recommended by my dermatologist and I really like it.

Wash face; dry and then put some of the obagi serum all over your face. You can use just a little bit.

After cleansing, I usually soak a cotton ball and go over the oiliest parts of my face first, then use the extra all over. Great for your neck and chest as well.

Make sure to wash face before use. And I read somewhere to rinse off in water and let air dry between uses..

Apply sunblock after the skincare routine, before yr makeup. Ensure at least 15mins before u step out of the house. Do not drag sunblock against the face. Apply it on a tap, tap motion so it stay on the skin rather than on the fingers.
