I got a microlaser peel along with broadband light on Friday. Is it important to clean all the Aquaphor off each time you cleans

I was told to only use cetaphil to cleanse and aquaphor after cleansing. My question is that I never feel like i am getting all the aquaphor off my face when I cleanse. cetaphil does not cut the heavy aquaphor so I really feel like Im just spreading it around while Im trying to wash my case. I worry that this will delay the actual dead skin from peeling off. thank you
