Best moisturizer to use after SMP procedure?

I heard I should stay away from moisturizers with alcohol. Seems to be difficult as many have it in ingredients..Also I've read a lot of stuff about using moisturizes like head Blade lube Matte..should I use it as my moisturizer? If so when can I start and how often after my procedure? Thank you in advance for your responses.

Each doctor or clinic has their own post SMP instructions. There are no specific brand of moisturizers that are better

Be sure that there are no alcohol products in the shampoo for a month after SMP.  No shampoo for the nfirst three days after each session using only water.
