If You Have Just Had a 30% Salisylic Acid Peel, Can I Still Use my Kiehl's Overnight Peel Treatment Once Every Week?

Question

How often can I do both? I have the Kiehl's over night peel serum, and I get the Salicylic treatment once a month...is this too much? What is the best skin care regimen? I am 35 and trying to exfoliate and clear up some acne, and keep my fine lines and wrinkles at bay. Thanks so much for your time! :)

Thank you for your question. I would recommend discontinuing the use of any "treatment products" 3 to 4 days prior to a light peel, it is usually fine to resume them after 1 week. Stick to a basic cleanser, SPF  and hydrating moisturizer during this process to avoid causing unnecessary irritation to the skin.

It usually takes up to one week to recover completely from a light salicylic acid peel. The Kiehl's product would probably be a little too irritating during this time. I would also stop the Kieh's 2-3 days before each chemical peel to lessen irritation.
