Peeling earlier than expected from VI Peel. Should I still use the remaining post peel towelettes?

Question

Just before I went to bed on the 2nd night, I got my face cleansed and ready to apply the last post peel towelette (retinoic acid & vit c) when I noticed big sheets of skin coming off when I was patting my face with a towel to dry up. Should I still use the last towelette or stop and just continue to moisturize and protect with a sunscreen. I don't want to mess up the peeling cycle by applying the last towelette on new skin. Please advice!

I would soothe the skin with Elevase Moisture Booster followed by Melarase AM and Melarase PM creams to reduce hyperpigmentation. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian#Realself100 Surgeon

thank you for your question. no, once you start peeling it is not advised to use to the post peel towelettes. start using the post peel cream and SPF as directed.
