How do I prevent clogged pores after a chemical peel? Need guidance for products to use. Can't figure it out myself!

Asked By:Muffy1907 in Illinois, IL

this last time I got my superficial peel my pores seem to have clogged. What can I use to prevent this and get rid of the clogged pores? They are baby clogs but weren't there before. Should I get another when it comes time for my appointment? I feel it depends on what products you use after the peel and my products seemed too gentle and clogging. Am I only supposed to avoid certain acids and scrubbing exfoliants for a week after? Would enzyme cleanser/exfoliant be okay? I feel like I need it!
