Pure oils vs ointment post TCA peels?

July 20, 2024
Asked By:Jen_1984 in Coffeyville, Kansas

Is it possible to use grape seed oil or jojoba oil on the face immediately post TCA peel instead of Aquaphor/vaseline/thick ointments to help protect the skin? My skin is extremely oily and acne prone and I always end up with breakouts during and after the healing process which I attribute to these occlusive ingredients. I know jojoba and grapeseed are pretty low on the comedogenic scale and looking to avoid clogged pores while trying to heal.
