Having difficulty washing Cosmelan 2. What can I do?

Question

After the mask was washed at home, according to dermatologist I applied Cosmelan 2 and Hydra Vital K. I find my skin darkening around jaw likes. Seems like dry peel is sticking to my skin. I have been using a gentle cleanser only. Please advice. Thanks

I recommend following up with your practitioner about after care. The Cosmelan Peel is a two-step process. The first part involves an in-office application of the first mask; The second step is a continued application of specific Cosmelan products to apply at home.
Step 1: In-Office Mask
Skin is cleaned and prepped.The mask is applied in a thick layer.The mask must stay on between six and twelve hours.An after-care kit will be provided.Step 2: Home Care Regimen
After the specified time, the Cosmelan mask is removed with a gentle cleanser.Peeling generally begins two to three days after the mask’s application.Cosmelan 2 cream should be applied two to three times a day for two weeksAfter the first 14 days, Cosmelan 2 can be applied once a dayI recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist.

You do need to speak to your guiding dermatologist as they have specific protocols depending on your skin type and skin sensitivities. Cosmelan 2 is cosmetically elegant, you should not have difficulties washing this off if your skin barrier is intact. Try some QV wash or Cetaphil wash in addition to your cleanser wipes. Go gentle - double cleanse with above then plain H20 IF needed. All the best, Dr Davin S. Lim
