3rd towelette in VI peel aftercare kit??

Question

I had the VI peel done 3 days ago. I used 2 of the towelettes that were included in the aftercare kit on days 1 and 2. My question is, when am I supposed to use the 3rd towelette that is in the kit? My skin is peeling now, I don't think it would make sense to apply it over the skin that looks like it is getting ready to peel, but I'm not sure.

Tom J. Pousti, MD · Answer

The towelettes should be applied in this order: 1) fours hours after peel is applied on cleansed skin 2) one hour before bedtime the same day peel was applied on cleansed skin 3) one hour before bedtime the day after the peel was applied on cleansed skin. Since you are 3 days out and the skin is peeling it is not recommended to use the third towelette. Make sure you apply the post peel protectant and sunscreen that came in the post kit multiple times a day for the next five days. Sunscreen is recommended for daily use and is very important post peel. Best wishes.
