How long do i have to wait after salicylic acid peel to use peroxide benzoyl and clarisonic brush?

Question

How long do i have to wait after salicylic acid peel to use peroxide benzoyl and clarisonic brush? 25% salicylic acid peel. And one more question, what is the difference between oil-based salicylic acid peel and alcohol based? And what is better?

Monika Soni, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question! I would advise you to avoid application of peroxide benzoyl and not to use clarisonic brush until your skin is healed. It all depends on your personal case and how fast your skin is healing. It is usually healed after one week. Oil-based peels are less irritating on the skin while alcohol based peels are usually used with patients who have oily skin naturally since it dries out skin. Oil based are better in general, but for some patients’ alcohol based would do better job. Best of luck!
