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.

Hi varriolaThere are no contraindications with sulfa drugs and vi peels. You are safe to have one. Enjoy and avoid the sun. Best Regards
Vipeel chemical peels can cause post treatment redness, itching,
dryness, and ironically, hyperpigmentation. Early post-peel care is
vital. I would use a curated combination of Covalent peels, fractional
laser, and topical creams to treat the skin after a Vipeel. Start with
Elevase to help...
Thank you for your question! This is normal reaction following Vi-Peel. It is important to use the post-treatment kit and stay away from picking your dry skin and sun exposure. The peeling process might take up to two weeks to settle when you will be able to see ultimate results. Best of luck!
