Chemical peels are a skin treatment used to improve and smooth the surface of the facial skin. A chemical solution is used to remove the top layer of skin, causing dead skin to peel off. The peeling process results in new skin growth - usually smoother, healthier and less wrinkled than the old skin.

The results of a chemical peel often depend on the pre-peel and post-peel care you take, and improper care can lead to unsatisfactory results or side effects. Many people question whether or not they can use vitamin C serum after a chemical peel.

After chemical peels, there is a high production of free radicals, which stimulate melanin activity and lead to melanin deposition. In contrast, the antioxidants of vitamin C serum can lend or share one of these electrons with free radicals, thereby neutralizing them and preventing them from causing damage. At the same time, exfoliating dead skin cells allows active ingredients such as vitamin C serum to better penetrate into the cells that can use it. Well-formulated vitamin C serum can help calm melanocytes and provide enhanced brightening and firming effects.

One thing to note, however, is that the best thing to apply is a mild vitamin C serum. As you know, many vitamin C serum uses acidic ingredients. we should avoid these and thus opt to use serums that contain magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, tetrahexyl decyl ascorbate, methylsilanol ascorbyl pectinate, or ascorbyl palmitate ingredients. These are considered the best choice for sensitive skin because they are stable, acid-free, and do not cause a stinging sensation.

Overall, there should be no problem applying vitamin C serum after a chemical peel, but be sure to choose a well-formulated vitamin C serum.
