I had my V.I. Peel four days ago. I am mostly done with my peeling, but my face is extremely tight and dry. Which I know is normal in the process. I am using the V.I. Peel Protectant I was given for post care. But it doesn't feel like it is moisturizing my skin enough. I got this peel because I am having adult acne.
