Washing Vi Peel treatment off before getting results?

Question

Did the vi-peel yesterday. In middle of the night my face and neck was very itchy after trying the moisturizer with then the 1% hydrocortisone creme, it was very intense. After two hours of that I washed off my face and neck and re-moisturizers , it calmed down. Will it peel or did I wash off the treatment from the towelette? Thank you.

One of the great things about VI peel is that there are multiple steps after the initial application.  After your physician or medical aesthetician does the main application you are given a take home kit with towelettes at four hours, that night and the next night.  If you washed off the evening towelette your body has sufficiently absorbed the main part of the peel and you should derive much of the benefits of the VI Peel.Safe for all skin types the VI Peel is FDA approved for the improvement of fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, brown spots and large pores.  Compared to the results the downtime is relatively short. Good luck.

if the peel was applied properly you will get a fine result even with 1% hydrocortisone.  Best, Dr. Emer.
