Sunblock and/or moisturizer after chemical peel?

March 19, 2018
Asked By:sarah315 in Apple Valley, CA

I just got a peel done 2 days ago and my face has started to peel today. Is it okay to only use a lotion with sunblock such as Cera ve AM? Would that be moisturizing and hydrating enough on its own (even at night) or do i need to use a lotion and sunblock separately to ensure i am not compromising on hydration?
