How do I care for my skin post peel

Obagi Blue Peel RADIANCE is formulated to be gentle, however you may experience mild peeling and redness on your journey to revealing fresh, glowing skin. Follow these important steps to help keep your skin protected and healthy while your peel takes effect

  • Use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 at all times for at least a week.

  • Avoid direct sun exposure for one week

  • Treat the skin gently—DO NOT exfoliate

  • Use Obagi Therapeutic Moisturizer or Hydrating Cream
