You can try organic virgin coconut oil since we had patient use it and it would bring them relief. If burning only lasts up to a minute as you apply it is usually normal and common for the first few days. It the burning sensation is unbearable, you should make a follow up appointment with your provider. Good luck!

Your package for post peel care should include a hydro cortisone cream. This is to be used when you feel the burning and tight dry feeling without any burning sensation. If you do not have a post peel care instruction sheet and materials, contact your licensed provider who should have gone through post peel care with you and provided you with the cream.
