  • Burning, itching, redness or dryness, depending on skin sensitivity
  • Acne breakouts or temporary darker pigmentation. Improves with time
  • No visible peeling is also normal. The peel still works

  • While peeling: use only moisturiser, several times a day, and apply sunscreen regularly
  • For breakouts: apply Faceclin gel twice a day (2 to 3 days)
  • If skin is too dry or flaky: apply Flutivate cream (2 to 3 days)
