The Cosmelan peel is not a very deep peel. You will have flaking on days 3-4. The at home application may cause some peeling too but you can gauge that and apply less often if needed. Once you have stopped peeling, I like a tinted SPF instead of foundation.Hope that helps!Dr....

Cosmelan can be used by most with sun-sensitive skin. Your dermatologist or plastic surgeon will evaluate your skin type for this treatment and customize it if needed.
