Subject: Recommended Ingredients for Post-Laser Skincare
Hello,
After laser treatment, it's common for the skin to experience redness, peeling, and scabbing. Since you have oily skin and find clinic products expensive, here are some ingredient categories and specific ingredients recommended for post-laser care:
- Reduce Irritation: Look for ingredients that help soothe and calm the skin, reducing redness and discomfort.
- Moisturize Skin: Hydration is crucial for healing. Use ingredients that provide intense moisture to help with peeling and overall skin recovery.
- Specific Ingredients:
- Hi-Quercetin® (Quercetin from Onion Extract): Recommended for night use, especially after CO2 laser, to aid healing.
- Copper Peptide (GHK-Cu): Known for its ability to accelerate wound healing and help prevent scarring.
For oily skin, it's best to avoid oil-based ingredients. Consider using formulations with a gel texture, especially for night application, applying a generous amount to the skin.
These ingredients can help support your skin's natural healing process after laser treatment.
