The only soap I use is pretty drying for my normal to oily skin. I was wondering if using Manuka Honey to wash my face gently after the Chemical peel is safe?

Gentle cleansers are best after a chemcial peel
Generally speaking, a gentle cleanser, without medication or glycolic or salicylic acid, is best after a chemical peel for the week after the peel. Of course, it's best to ask your doctor.

Ask your surgeon
Hello,
Chemical peels vary as much as the styles of the surgeons applying them. Before you use anything on freshly peeled skin ask your surgeon. What you want to use may be safe, but you can't know unless you bring your doctor in on the plan. Your doc may have preferred products that he or she wants you to use for a period of time.
