SCD Peeling Skin Lotion comes with specific directions for use, patch testing, precautions, and aftercare. Following those instructions carefully is important, especially because peeling products may cause irritation when used incorrectly.
This guide summarizes the directions printed on the current SCD Peeling Skin Lotion packaging. Always check the label on your own bottle before use because product directions and formulations may change.
Before You Use SCD Peeling Skin Lotion
The product label recommends performing a skin patch test before regular use.
Apply a small amount to the recommended test area and observe the skin for approximately 24 hours. If irritation or an allergic reaction develops, discontinue use.
The label also advises against applying the product to irritated, inflamed, or broken skin.
If you have very sensitive skin, an existing skin condition, or are unsure whether a peeling product is appropriate for you, consult a licensed dermatologist before use.
How to Use SCD Peeling Skin Lotion on the Body
According to the product label, SCD Peeling Skin Lotion is generally applied at bedtime during the initial application period.
- Apply the lotion to the desired body area and gently massage until the product is absorbed.
- Follow the application schedule printed on the bottle and do not exceed the recommended frequency.
- The label indicates repeated applications at approximately 15-minute intervals during the initial treatment period.
- If bathing before application, avoid scrubbing or aggressively exfoliating the treated area.
- Allow the peeling process to occur naturally. The label indicates that visible peeling may take several days.
Do not force, pull, or manually remove peeling skin.
Sun Exposure During the Peeling Process
The SCD label specifically advises avoiding direct sun exposure after application, throughout the peeling stage, and during the period immediately following the completed peeling process.
Comfortable clothing and minimizing excessive sweating may also help reduce unnecessary irritation while the skin is peeling.
The packaging recommends using appropriate sun protection before sun exposure. Always follow the directions of the sunscreen product you are using.
Using SCD Peeling Skin Lotion on the Face
The packaging provides separate facial-use directions and emphasizes that areas such as the neck may be more sensitive.
If you plan to use the product on your face, perform the recommended patch test first, use only the amount specified on the packaging, and avoid the eye area, lips, broken skin, and other sensitive areas.
Do not increase the amount or frequency simply because visible peeling has not started. Follow the current instructions printed on your bottle.
Do Not Force the Skin to Peel
One of the most important instructions printed on the SCD packaging is: do not force your skin to peel off.
Allow peeling skin to shed naturally. Pulling, rubbing, scrubbing, or aggressively removing peeling skin may increase irritation.
Important Precautions
- For external use only.
- Perform a patch test before regular use.
- Do not use on irritated, inflamed, or broken skin.
- Avoid excessive sun exposure.
- Do not force or manually remove peeling skin.
- Use extra caution on thinner or sensitive areas of the skin.
- Discontinue use if significant irritation develops.
- Consult a physician or dermatologist if irritation persists.
Ingredients Listed on the Packaging
The product packaging lists ingredients including:
Aqua, Stearyl Alcohol, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Phenoxyethanol, Menthol, Alpha-Arbutin, Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract, Glycolic Acid, Kojic Dipalmitate, Lactic Acid, and CI 15985.
Always check the ingredient list printed on your own bottle, as formulations may be updated over time.
After the Peeling Process
Once peeling begins, allow the skin to complete the process naturally. Avoid aggressive scrubbing and continue protecting the treated area from unnecessary sun exposure.
The packaging also references additional SCD body-care and sun-protection products that may be incorporated after the recommended waiting period. Follow each individual product's directions rather than applying multiple active products at the same time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for peeling to begin?
The current SCD packaging indicates that the peeling process may become visible several days after application. Individual skin responses can vary.
Can I pull off peeling skin?
No. The product label specifically advises allowing the skin to peel naturally rather than forcing it off.
Should I do a patch test?
Yes. The packaging strongly recommends testing a small area first and observing the skin before regular application.
What should I do if my skin becomes irritated?
Stop using the product if significant irritation occurs. If irritation continues, consult a physician or licensed dermatologist.
Can I go into direct sunlight while peeling?
The product instructions advise avoiding direct sun exposure during and immediately after the peeling process and using appropriate sun protection.
Follow the Official SCD Instructions
Peeling products should be used carefully. Do not use more product or apply it more frequently than instructed in an attempt to accelerate peeling.
For the most current instructions, always refer to the label on your SCD Peeling Skin Lotion and contact SCD Main Office if you have questions about the product.
