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....

I would avoid creams that irritate. Start with the Kareskin Brightening Kit followed by Clear and Brilliant laser to help with melasma. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

Melarase creams should be used for several months after a cosmelan peel in order to minimize the risk of long term hyperpigmentation. Best,  Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

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.
