Water most be cold with baking soda, lots of water to remove any residues. now the tricky part the moisturizer even organic one, after peeling skin still sensitive, it may be burn and make things worst, why because the ingredients in the moisturizer can make your skin to react, so not good. The best idea is to spray water from time to time and let the skin to heal, then you can use any moisturizer a day after, not skin lotion.

I put nothing on afterwards, that's just my skin type though. If your moisturizer has fragrance etc. it might irritate your skin, maybe wait awhile. Coconut oil is what we use,very mild.

I wash my face with my everyday vitamin c cleanser, towel dry pretty good before applying the peel. That is pretty much what the instructions tell you to do.

Wet your face and rub the mineral bar over it, then rinse and pat dry. It is supposed to draw moisture into your skin.

Leave it on your face anywhere from 30-60 min or until it starts drying. Do not rinse afterwards. Treatment is 3x's/week.

I use Cetaphil cleanser and moisturizer 2 days before and after each peel. Afterwards I go back to my glycolic face wash.

Chemical Peels all have the same instructions, you cleanse your face before applying it. you leave it on for 2-3minutes then gently wash it off with cold water. If you have a neutralizer you add it on before washing it off. You DO NOT!!! go outside for 24 hours after applying a peel, also have sun screen/ Sun block on always. Now I don't know what your trying to get done. there are different uses for peel such as Acne, wrinkles, discoloration, dull skin ect. I'd suggest star out with exfoliating with a soap and exfoliating scrub then do a 30-40% Peel.

I wipe my face with witch hazel and let air dry. Some use alcohol but I think witch hazel is less drying. I then squeeze a little gel peel on a cotton swab and spread over my face starting at my chin. My cheeks are most sensitive so I do them last or sometimes not at all. I then go over my face quickly a second time. I let set 5 minutes from the time I started putting it on my face. After 5 minutes I rinse the peel off with cool water for one full minute. Then blot dry with towel. Keep eyes tightly closed until peel is rinsed. Then I wipe my face with a neutralizing peel solution. I heard baking soda mixed in water works just as well. It's a base to neutralize the acid. I have been using the gel peel once every five days.

I leave it on for 3 minutes closely timed. I find if I exfoliate first, works even better. I do this before bedtime and use a glob of Alavera Sun burn gel, triple antibiotic ointment and cerave moisturizing lotion mixture applied after. Makes a great after care lotion. Keeps face from drying out and cools down skin. I do a chemical treatment once every five days. I have just started using the 30% Salicylic acid gel peel for 3 minutes at a time. I've used the 20% for about a year first. You will have to experiment with the time. If you start to frost heavily, I would neutralise. You can use baking soda and water to neutralise. Works well. I find if I frost, that is usually where I peel in the next few days.

I apply it before moisturizer. Let set a few minutes then apply moisturizer.

The peel works great even with dry skin, it will remove the dry dead skin. Remember to use a good moisturizer after you are done.

1st, start by putting on a lite layer. Wait till it dries or or longer if you want . Gently wipe off all white residue. It last for appr. 8 hrs. Does not flake off. You might need moisturizer. Put on without pulling. Wait couple min then makeup. Nothing much happens when it wears off. I just look a little tired. if you want wash face and start all over again. just remember lite layer is all you need.

Yes, , just wash your face as usual. With face damp, apply this lotion and leave on for 2-3 minutes before rinsing off with warm water. Pat face dry. It's worked well for me (age 50) and my son (age 20).

Water mix w baking soda must be used. Regular water will NOT wash th acid out and your face will burn.I found 2 min to be more than enough. 3 min is way too long and you may see redness that will take few days to come down.

Yes you use water and baking soda with this peel to neutralize it. However I don't know exactly how much water and baking soda to use bcus I had no instructions on that.

Leave it on for 3-5 minutes. You need to feel a significant tingling for it to be working. Gently tap your face(with all your fingertips) while its tingling to assist in the uncomfortable burning sensation. It sounds like your 1st peel didn't do anything so go ahead with another.
