It started burning all of a sudden and got red.i don't know what to do. Please help!
Answer: Retinol Chemical Peel and Vitamin C Good morning and thank you for your question! After a chemical peel your skin is going to be sensitive, especially to more potent ingredients and products. Vitamin C can be very stimulating and which can make your skin feel a burning sensation resulting in redness. I would recommend using only gentle products with calming ingredients (chamomile, lavender, aloe, etc.) until your skin is completely done healing. Make sure to keep the skin moisturized and always wear sunscreen. Try consulting with a skin care professional for more information on the right products to use during the healing process and thereafter. For more information please feel free to look at our website.

Answer: Chemical Peel Thank you for your question. Some sensitivity and redness is a common side effect from the chemical peel procedure. I suggest that you review your post op recovery instructions and touch base with your board certified facial plastic surgeon.

Answer: Avoid applying additional products to your skin before getting the okay from your doctor. Although some redness and irritation are to be expected following a chemical peel, it is possible that applying vitamin C to your skin could have contributed to your symptoms. Check in with your plastic surgeon’s office if the redness doesn’t begin to diminish on its own or if it worsens. You might also want to get a list of products that are okay to use on your skin while it’s still in the healing process to help minimize any possible adverse effects.

Answer: Burning after Chemical Peel It depends on how deep the peel is. The Vitamin C is pretty stimulating for your skin right now so you should remove everything and use something calming for your skin. Try using a chamomile or aloe vera toner that has no alcohol. If you have further questions then follow up with your treating provider.
