Gentle cleansers are best after a chemcial peel

Dina D. Strachan, MD answers: Type of facial wash to use after Chemical Peel?

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?

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.
