Post Peel Moisturizer — Barrier Recovery Aftercare

Aftercare · Post-Peel Recovery The step clients skip at their own risk A chemical peel doesn't stop working the moment it's neutralized — the stratum corneum stays thinner and more permeable for days afterward, transepidermal water loss spikes, and barrier lipids stripped during resurfacing need to be actively replaced. Post Peel Moisturizer is Cosmecell's next-generation answer to that window: a non-greasy, fast-absorbing formula built to rehydrate at multiple depths, calm reactivity and support the barrier while skin continues to turn over. Step 4 of the four-part professional protocol. Dispensed by the practitioner and continued at home — mandatory aftercare, not an optional add-on. How It Works Three mechanisms, one recovery window 01 · Barrier Recovery Complex Rebuilding what the peel resurfaces Niacinamide is associated in published research with increased ceramide synthesis in the keratinocyte layer, helping restore the lipid matrix a peel temporarily thins. Shea Butter and Dimethicone lay down a breathable film that reduces water loss without smothering the skin or slowing continued exfoliation. 02 · Multi-Depth Hydration Layered humectants, not a single note A multi-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid complex draws and holds water at different depths of the epidermis, paired with Betaine, Glycerine, Glyceryl Glucoside and Hydroxyethyl Urea — natural moisturizing-factor humectants that keep resurfaced skin supple as it turns over. 03 · Soothing & Antioxidant Defense Calm first, then support renewal Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Extract and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Water are formulated to help calm redness and reactivity common in the first 24–72 hours after a peel, while Hydrolyzed Royal Jelly Protein contributes antioxidant peptides.

Application Protocol The step that goes home with the client Post Peel Moisturizer completes the in-clinic protocol, then continues in the client's own routine. 1 Cleanse Removes surface oil and debris for even acid penetration. 2 Skin Clarity Peel Applied by the practitioner and timed to the client's epidermal response. 3 Neutralize Halts acid activity and restores skin surface pH. 4This product Post Peel Moisturizer Applied in-clinic immediately after neutralizing, then continued at home AM & PM until the peel cycle completes. At-Home Use Two applications a day, from the chair to the mirror Applied once in-clinic immediately after neutralizing, then twice daily at home for the full length of the peel cycle — and as an ongoing daily moisturizer afterward. This isn't framed as optional home care; it's the mechanism that keeps clients comfortable while their skin does the work the peel started. Step 0 In-Clinic Applied by the practitioner immediately after neutralizing. AM / PM Days 1–7, mandatory Twice-daily home use while the skin actively resurfaces — not optional for compliance or comfort. Daily Ongoing maintenance Continues as a non-greasy daily moisturizer between professional treatments. Send it home with every client. Clients who skip post-peel moisturization tend to report more visible flaking, tightness and prolonged redness. Dispensing this with every peel treatment protects both client comfort and clinical results. Professional Use & Compliance Built to travel from treatment room to bathroom counter In the Clinic Dispensed by licensed estheticians, dermatologists or medical spa practitioners as part of the professional protocol. Apply directly after neutralizing, over clean, damp skin. Review the full ingredient list with clients who report known sensitivities before dispensing. At Home Apply morning and night to clean, dry skin for the full length of the peel cycle, then continue daily. Broad-spectrum SPF each morning remains mandatory on top — this product does not replace sun protection. Store below 25°C / 77°F, away from direct light, cap tightly closed between uses.
