So like when I use my peel, and rinse it off afterwards, my skin feels a lil oily and no matter how much I rinse off I feel that the Peel Gel is still there. I usually wash my face with a light facewash like 10mins after because I get scared that the peel might still be there and I don’t want to have an irritated red face. What do you do about that? Another question, How much pH neutralizer are we suppose to use after the peel? and after how long?1-5mins?

Thanks! I don’t use any ph neutralizer. When I’m ready to neutralize, I pat my face with cold water. Then I pat baking soda where the acid was applied. Immediately you should feel stinging/mild burning sensation (depending on how sensitive the skin is). That’s what lets you know that the acid is being neutralized. When the stinging/burning goes away completely (usually less than minute), then I wash face with cold water only. Pat dry with towel and apply moisturizer.

Yes my face does still feel like there’s something on it (it does not feel squeky clean). But the acid has been neutralized and I don’t use any face washes right afterwards.

** I prefer to wet the face and pat on dry baking soda to neutralize. But I’ve read online that others prefer to have a little bowl where they mix baking with with a little water and use that to wash face. Either is fine. Its just personal preferance. I know “ph neutralizers” are sold but never bought it b/c baking soda will also neutralize the acid and it’s MUCH cheaper.
