Moisturizer After a 20% Peel

After a 20% glycolic or similar peel, is a pure vegetable oil a good moisturizer or should I purchase a specific moisturizer? I was wondering if I could use cocoa butter or sunflower oil or avocado oil.... Thanks so much in advance!

A: post peel

Not a whole lot needs to be done after a 20% glycolic peel. A good moisturizer like cetaphil cream vanicream , elta MD post peel  usually do fine. I woul dstay away from more than a few applications of a vegetable oil or vaseline because you migfht form little acne like bumps from these products.
