I would use mineral makeup after a chemical peel. Spectrase SPF, Melarase PM, and Replenish can help maintain results. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

Hi, Thanks for sharing your query. Usually it is better to avoid makeups 3 to 5 days post chemical peel as skin exfoliation will happen in various degrees and chances of infections are more. You can always use a make up from day 3 of your light chemical peel. Your doctor is the best person to guide you. Take care.

Andrew T. Lyos, MD, FACS · Answer

If you had a mild to moderate peel, wearing makeup is fine to use. I recommend using a mineral makeup & be sure to clean your make up off completely before you go to bed so you do not clog any pores.
