- Hold off on laser treatments or electrolysis for at least 1 week beforehand.
- Shave two days or at least 24 hours before the procedure. If you do not shave, trim your hair so

- For enhanced and longer-lasting results, this process can be repeated every 4-6 weeks.
Day 1
- Right after your peel, your skin might appear yellowish, reddish, or tan — this is normal and
caused by the Retinoic Acid in the formula. - Gently cleanse your skin 4 hours post-peel using fingertips only, cleanse the skin using a gentle
cleanser with no fragrance or active ingredients ( Vi Derm Gentle Purifying Cleanser, Dove,
Cetaphil, etc). Rinse with cool water and pat dry. - Apply a thin layer of Vi Derm Retcorrect Exfoliator, wait 10 minutes. If irritation or itchiness
occurs, apply a thin layer of Vi Derm Post Treatment Repair Cream. - 1 Hour before bedtime, follow the same steps as shown above.
Day 2
- Clean the skin with a gentle cleanser, pat dry (again, avoid hot water).
- Continue the regimen morning and evening until peeling begins: Apply one thin layer of the
provided 1oz Retinoic Serum to the treatment area. If needed, apply the Vi Derm Post Treatment
Repair Cream
Once Peeling Begins
- Once visible skin flaking or peeling is present, STOP using the Vi Derm RetCorrect Exfoliator.
