    Peeling and Sun

    Hi, I have a question regarding the use of The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution. I used the product in the evening according to the instructions and then applied CeraVe Moisturising Lotion. The next day, I went outside for about 10 minutes without sunscreen, as I didn’t know that the skin becomes extra sensitive to the sun after the treatment. My question is: Is there a risk that I will get pigmentation spots (hyperpigmentation) after such short sun exposure? And what do you recommend I do now to protect my skin and avoid any potential damage? Thanks in advance

      Hi S.B✨ Thank you for your question – it’s really great that you’re aware of this! The risk of pigmentation spots after 10 minutes of sun without SPF is very low, especially if you haven’t burned. But since the skin is extra sensitive after AHA/BHA peeling, it’s important to properly moisturize the skin (your CeraVe lotion is perfect). Also, use sunscreen (SPF 50) every day, this is super important! Also avoid new acids until the skin feels completely restored/calm, and preferably some after sun like aloe vera afterwards. Tip: lyko.com/sv/urtekram/urtekram-aloe-vera-gel-100-ml Note! Also, only use this peeling in the evening🌛 I hope my answer can be helpful and that you have a super nice Friday🌞

    Question about using acid peeling after laser treatment

    Hi, is it okay to use The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution after a laser treatment? If so, how long should I wait before I start using it again?

      Thank you for your response – I appreciate that you took the time. I do the treatment myself at home and use the Philips Lumea Prestige IPL (model BRI957/00) about every other week. So it’s not a professional laser treatment, but IPL technology adapted for home use. Just wanted to clarify that so you know what type of treatment it is. Thanks again.
