Most of the result from a peel, laser or microneedling comes from your skin healing itself in the days and weeks afterward. What you put on your skin in that window can support that healing or get in its way, and good aftercare is mostly knowing what to leave alone.

The short answer

After a procedure, your skin is repairing a controlled injury that was made on purpose, and that repair is what produces the result. Caring for it means following your provider's aftercare, using only soothing products and nothing anti-inflammatory for the first 48 hours after microneedling, and keeping your routine gentle and hydrating while it heals. Protect it from the sun with a mineral sunscreen, and bring your usual products back in stages.

What a procedure does to your skin

Peels, lasers and microneedling all work by creating a controlled injury. A peel removes layers of skin with acid, a laser heats or removes skin with light, and microneedling makes many tiny channels with fine needles. Each one is designed to be small enough to heal well and large enough to prompt your skin to rebuild.

Your skin then heals in stages. First comes inflammation, which brings redness, warmth and some swelling. During this stage, platelets and immune cells release growth factors, the signals that tell skin cells to multiply and tell fibroblasts, the cells that make collagen, to make more of it. Over the following weeks and months, new collagen is laid down and slowly reorganized, which is why results keep improving long after the procedure.

Why we do not reduce inflammation after microneedling

The inflammation after microneedling is part of how the procedure works, because it is what produces the growth factors that build new collagen. At LAZ Skincare, we do not use anything anti-inflammatory in the first 48 hours, and we do not apply exosomes or peptide serums during that window. Applying them straight after microneedling has become popular, and it works against the response the procedure relies on. Soothing is different from reducing inflammation, and we do apply soothing masks in the clinic to calm how your skin feels.

There is a second reason. The tiny channels stay open for a short time, and anything applied then can travel far deeper than it is designed to go. It is the whole formula that goes deep, not only the active ingredient, and most ingredients are designed for a specific layer of skin. Going deeper than that is where irritation comes from. A published report described three people who developed firm, inflamed lumps on the face, called granulomas, after products were applied to their skin as part of microneedling.

If your provider gives you a specific product for that window, follow their aftercare, since they know what was done and what that product is made for.

Peels and lasers are different

Peels and lasers vary much more. A light peel may leave skin slightly pink for a day, while a deep peel or a resurfacing laser can mean a week or more of redness and peeling. Because of that range, aftercare for peels and lasers is decided case by case, depending on what was done and how your skin responded.

What normal healing looks like

Redness, warmth, tightness and a feeling like mild sunburn are expected for the first one to three days after microneedling or a light peel, and for longer after a deeper peel or laser. Light flaking or peeling often follows as new skin comes through. The signs that are not part of normal healing are listed in the Good to know section below.

The redness after microneedling releases the growth factors that build new collagen, which is why we leave it alone for 48 hours.

How to care for skin after a procedure

Follow your provider's aftercare first

Your provider's instructions are written for the procedure you had and the skin they saw. If anything below differs from them, follow theirs. If you are a client at our New York City LAZ Clinic, ask us and we will tell you exactly when to start each product.

Keep it simple while your skin heals

Once your provider says you can use products, keep to a gentle cleanser, a moisturizer and a mineral sunscreen. Cleanse with lukewarm water and your fingertips, and pat your skin dry. Skip scrubs and cleansing brushes until your skin has healed. Skip saunas, swimming pools and hard workouts for the first two days, since heat, sweat and chlorine can irritate healing skin.

Hydrate and support repair

When your skin is ready for more than the basics, ingredients that hydrate and support your barrier help it through the tight, flaky stage. These are the ones we use most after procedures, and each has its own article in the Ingredients that help section below.

Sodium hyaluronate and hyaluronic acid hold water in your skin, which eases tightness. Sodium hyaluronate also supports wound healing, which makes it welcome on skin that is recovering.

Panthenol is vitamin B5. It hydrates, calms irritation and gives your skin material to repair itself with.

Ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids are the fats that hold your barrier together. Replacing all three, in balance, keeps water in while new skin forms.

Ectoin holds water steady around your skin cells and helps skin cope with heat and dryness while it recovers.

Hypochlorous acid is one of the few things we can send someone home with after a peel or a laser that will not sting. We suggest it for occasional use rather than every day, because it reduces every kind of bacteria on your skin at once, and your skin relies on that population staying in balance.

Protect it from the sun

New skin is thinner and pigments more easily for the first few weeks. Stay out of direct sun as much as you can and wear a wide-brimmed hat. Once your provider says you can use products, wear a mineral sunscreen with zinc oxide every morning and reapply it throughout the day. Mineral filters settle into the topmost layer of skin and stay there, which is why they are usually more comfortable on healing skin.

Bring products back in stages

Bring your usual products back in order of how gentle they are. Moisturizer and sunscreen come first, then hydrating serums, then vitamin C and niacinamide, and last of all exfoliating acids and retinoids. Add one product at a time, and wait until your skin is comfortable, with no stinging, before adding the next.

Prepare for your next procedure

The weeks before a procedure matter too. Using exosomes before a procedure helps prepare your skin, and a carboxy mask beforehand gets skin into better condition going in, which amplifies the result. Pause exfoliating acids and retinoids beforehand for as long as your provider advises.

Moisturizer and sunscreen return first, and exfoliating acids and retinoids return last, one product at a time.

Common questions

When can I go back to my usual routine?

It depends on the procedure. After microneedling, most people are back to gentle products after 48 hours and to their full routine after about five to seven days. After a light peel, it is often three to seven days. After a deeper peel or a resurfacing laser, it can be two weeks or more, and your provider will tell you when.

Days three to five are where people tend to give up on waiting, because skin is flaking and it is tempting to scrub it away or bring an exfoliant back early. Let the flakes shed on their own. Starting strong products too soon is the most common way healing skin gets irritated.

Should I calm the redness after microneedling?

You can soothe it, but do not reduce inflammation in the first 48 hours. Redness is not always a sign of inflammation, and something soothing can make your skin feel calmer. What we avoid is anything anti-inflammatory, because the inflammation produces the growth factors your skin uses to build new collagen. If the redness is getting worse after two days rather than better, see a doctor and let your provider know.

Can I wear makeup after a procedure?

No, not straight away. Wait until your provider says you can, which is usually at least 48 hours after microneedling and longer after deeper peels and lasers, because makeup on healing skin can travel deeper and irritate it.

Is aftercare different for deeper skin tones?

Yes, in one important way. Deeper skin pigments much easier, and healing skin is inflamed skin, which means sun, heat, picking and starting strong products too soon can leave dark marks behind. Gentle care and steady sun protection for the first four to six weeks protect against that.

Can I have procedures during pregnancy?

It depends on the procedure. Speak to your provider and your OB or midwife first, since many providers postpone some procedures until after pregnancy. The aftercare ingredients above, such as hyaluronic acid, panthenol and ceramides, are commonly used during pregnancy.

How to use it

  • Follow your provider's aftercare first, and ask them before adding anything that is not on it.
  • After microneedling, use only soothing products for the first 48 hours, and nothing anti-inflammatory, unless your provider has given you a specific product for that window.
  • Cleanse with lukewarm water and your fingertips, and pat your skin dry.
  • Keep to a gentle cleanser, a moisturizer and a mineral sunscreen until your skin is comfortable.
  • Stay out of direct sun, and once products are allowed, wear a mineral sunscreen every morning and reapply it throughout the day.
  • Bring products back one at a time, from the gentlest to the strongest.
  • Photograph your skin on day one, in the same spot and in natural daylight, and again every four weeks.

A note on the evidence. How skin heals after an injury is well understood. Research on aftercare itself is thin, and most aftercare guidance comes from clinical experience rather than trials. The granuloma report describes three people, which shows that the risk exists rather than how often it happens. What we describe here combines that research with what we see in the clinic.

Products for Post-Procedure

  • Young Goose

    Adaptogenic Cleanser

    From $42.00

    Cleanses gently, hydrates, supports barrier and balance.

    The Adaptogenic Cleanser from Young Goose works beautifully on its own or as part of the full Young Goose routine. What I love about it is the texture; it feels genuinely luxurious for a cleanser and leaves skin soft and comfortable, not tight or stripped. A little goes a long way too. You only need a pea-sized amount, which means one bottle lasts much longer than you would expect.

    Laziza SFounder & Head Esthetician

    Cleanses Without Stripping or Disrupting the Skin Barrier

    If your skin feels tight, dry, or reactive after washing, the cleanser you use matters. The Adaptogenic Cleanser uses a soap-free, amino acid-based formula that removes impurities without disrupting the barrier or altering the skin's natural pH. Coconut-derived betaine helps cleanse while maintaining hydration, so skin feels soft and comfortable afterward.

    Helps Skin Manage Stress and Stay Balanced

    Adaptogens are compounds, most commonly found in plants, that help living systems respond to stress more effectively. In skincare, they help the skin stay balanced when exposed to UV, pollution, temperature changes, and daily inflammation. With regular use, skin becomes less reactive and better at regulating itself, which shows up as fewer flare-ups, less redness, and more consistent texture.

    Calms Redness and Supports Sensitive Skin

    Cleansing is often where sensitive skin is most easily irritated, because it is the step that involves the most contact, friction, and potential disruption. The Adaptogenic Cleanser contains botanical anti-inflammatory compounds that calm the skin during cleansing rather than aggravating it. It is appropriate for all skin types and particularly well suited to reactive, sensitive, or compromised skin that needs a gentler approach.

    Prepares Skin for the Rest of Your Routine

    How skin is cleansed affects how it responds to everything applied afterward. The Adaptogenic Cleanser removes impurities while leaving the barrier and the skin's natural pH undisturbed, which means your skin starts the rest of your routine calm and hydrated rather than tight. Serums, moisturizers, and actives then go onto skin that is ready to absorb them and do their work.

  • Anfisa

    ÂN-BALM

    4.8 out of 5.0 stars

    From $64.00

    Soothes reactive skin while helping balance oil, reduce congestion, and support the skin barrier.

    If your skin gets reactive easily but also clogs easily, Anfisa An-Balm is such a good balance. My rosacea-prone clients love it because it calms flare-ups while still feeling lightweight and breathable on the skin. I also like that it can be used alone or under a moisturizer depending on how dry the skin feels.

    Laziza SFounder & Head Esthetician

    A Multi-Tasking Balm for Your Skin

    The AN-Balm is a nutrient-rich, waterless balm designed to deeply hydrate, repair, and protect the skin. Its concentrated blend of botanicals, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids helps soothe irritation, strengthen the barrier, and restore a healthy, radiant glow, perfect for even the most sensitive skin types.

    A Balm for Every Skin Need

    This versatile formula works as a moisturizer, overnight mask, or targeted balm for dry, compromised areas. It is ideal for soothing stressed skin, locking in hydration during extreme weather, and supporting post-procedure recovery without clogging pores or feeling greasy. Murumuru butter, rich in fatty acids, nourishes, softens, and protects the skin.

    Plant-Powered and Free of Fillers

    With its minimal, high-quality ingredient list, AN-Balm delivers pure, effective nourishment without unnecessary additives. Each ingredient is carefully selected to calm inflammation, reduce visible redness, and support skin health in a simple, straightforward way. Blueberry seed oil and green tea extract add antioxidant protection against oxidative stress and environmental aggressors.

    Rich Care, Lightweight Feel

    Although highly concentrated, this balm melts into the skin effortlessly, leaving it soft and comfortable. It creates a breathable shield against moisture loss, helping your skin stay smooth, supple, and protected all day and night. Massage it into damp skin twice daily as the final step of your routine, after AN-DEW if you use both.

  • Anfisa

    ÂN-GLOSS

    4.9 out of 5.0 stars

    $45.00

    Nourishing, non-sticky anti-aging lip gloss that hydrates, smooths, and supports the lip barrier.

    Most glosses either feel sticky, dry my lips out later, or only look good for 20 minutes. Genetically, everyone in my family has extremely dry, sometimes even bleeding lips, so my lips can tell immediately if a lip product is actually good or not. Anfisa An-Gloss is one of the few that truly works for me. It makes the lips look plump, smooth, and healthy without feeling heavy, sticky, or irritating. I also love using a thicker layer before bed as a lip mask so I wake up with soft, hydrated lips.

    Laziza SFounder & Head Esthetician

    Nourishment Meets Gloss

    AN-GLOSS is a ceramide-rich lip gloss that hydrates, repairs, and protects while giving your lips a healthy, natural sheen. Packed with barrier-strengthening ingredients, it soothes dryness and leaves lips looking smooth, plump, and comforted, without feeling heavy or sticky. Tripeptides enhance the look of plumpness, volume, and softness.

    Barrier Repair for Your Lips

    Formulated with ceramides and nourishing botanicals, this gloss strengthens the delicate lip barrier, locking in moisture and helping prevent future dryness or chapping. It is skincare for your lips, designed to deliver lasting comfort and protection. Five ceramides and vegan cholesterol work together to reduce water loss, so lips hold on to moisture longer and feel soft throughout the day.

    Lightweight Comfort, Everyday Wear

    With its silky, non-greasy texture, AN-GLOSS is perfect for daily use. Wear it alone for a subtle, healthy-looking glow or layer it over lip color to add hydration and shine without disrupting your makeup. Over lip liner or lipstick, it builds to an ultra-glossy finish. Always apply it to clean, dry lips.

    Simple Formula, Visible Results

    Free from unnecessary additives and fragrance, AN-GLOSS focuses on delivering real results. Each application works to restore softness, improve lip texture, and keep lips smooth, conditioned, and comfortable throughout the entire day. For extra care, apply a thick layer before bed as a leave-on lip mask and wake up to soft, hydrated lips.

  • GlyMed

    Barrier Repair Cream

    5.0 out of 5.0 stars

    $104.00

    A rich cream that mimics and reinforces your barrier while nourishing dry, sensitive skin.

    I love using the GlyMed Barrier Cream in the treatment room, especially after peels or exfoliating treatments, because the skin barrier is always going to be a little compromised. It’s just part of the process. It can be used instead of a daily moisturizer if you have dry, sensitive skin.

    Laziza SFounder & Head Esthetician

    Strengthen & Protect Your Skin’s Natural Barrier

    Formulated with ceramides, amino acids, and skin-replenishing fats, this Barrier Repair Cream mimics your skin's natural protective layer. It helps defend against daily environmental stressors, harsh weather, and moisture loss, keeping your skin consistently balanced and resilient. Ceramides 1, 3, and 6 help restore and strengthen the barrier, locking in moisture and protecting against irritation.

    Ideal for Fragile, Sensitive, or Aging Skin

    Specially designed for frail, dry, menopausal, or seasonally stressed skin, this cream nourishes and restores even the most delicate complexions. It suits thin, reactive, or maturing skin, delivering lasting, comfortable hydration. Use it on clean skin or after serums, in place of your regular moisturizer, whenever your barrier needs extra support.

    Universal Barrier Support for All Skin Types

    This multi-benefit cream is expertly formulated to suit all skin types, from oily to dry, sensitive to mature. Whether your skin is fragile, stressed, or balanced, Barrier Repair Cream strengthens your skin's natural defenses for healthier, more resilient skin every day. The PC10 Complex boosts hydration, soothes inflammation, and supports recovery after peels and exfoliation.

    Infused With Amino Acids, Ceramides and Barrier Fats

    Formulated with skin-replenishing amino acids, ceramides, and barrier fats, this cream mimics and supports your skin’s natural barrier. It locks in moisture, enhances elasticity, and promotes long-lasting hydration for visibly healthier skin across all ages and skin conditions.

  • SkinBetter Science

    Better Balance Duo

    4.7 out of 5.0 stars

    $185.00

    For dryness, sensitivity, or a disrupted barrier, this SkinBetter duo restores comfort and hydration.

    This duo is what I reach for when someone’s skin just needs to get back to itself. Mystro helps everything settle and feel balanced again, and Trio Luxe gives that comforting, nourishing moisture that makes the skin feel instantly better. When these two are used together, the skin looks smoother, feels calmer, and finally starts acting like healthy skin again.

    Laziza SFounder & Head Esthetician

    Two Formulas for Balanced, Healthy-Looking Skin

    SkinBetter Science Better Balance Duo combines Mystro Active Balance Serum and Trio Luxe Moisture Treatment in one set. Mystro uses P.A.T.H. Technology, a proprietary blend of plant-based adaptogens, to help skin adapt to stress, visibly reduce redness, and improve texture, pore size, and uneven pigmentation. Trio Luxe delivers intense hydration through hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and the skin's natural moisturizing factors. Together they address both balance and hydration in two steps.

    P.A.T.H. Technology Helps Skin Adapt and Recover

    Skin exposed to daily stress, environmental triggers, and procedures loses its ability to recover quickly. Mystro Active Balance Serum uses P.A.T.H. Technology, a proprietary blend of plant-based adaptogens including Panax Notoginseng, turmeric, chamomile, echinacea, and hops, to enhance the skin's natural adaptive capacity. In a physician-tested clinical study, it was shown to accelerate skin recovery in the days immediately following a non-ablative fractional laser treatment, visibly reducing dryness and flaking compared to moisturizer alone.

    Trio Luxe Delivers Intense Triple-Action Hydration

    Dehydrated skin needs more than a surface moisturizer. Trio Luxe Moisture Treatment uses a triple-action formula combining hyaluronic acid, ceramides and essential fatty acids for barrier support, and the skin's own natural moisturizing factors including sodium PCA, sodium lactate, and urea to restore moisture balance from multiple levels simultaneously. The result is skin that looks renewed, feels genuinely nourished, and maintains that hydration throughout the day rather than only immediately after application.

    Who This Duo Is Made For

    This duo is perfect for anyone experiencing dryness, sensitivity, visible redness, rough texture, or general imbalance. It’s especially helpful during times when the skin needs extra support, after treatments, during weather transitions, or when barrier disruption is showing up as irritation, dullness, or uneven tone. All skin types can benefit from the hydration and resilience these formulas provide.

  • Pavise

    Bioadaptive Stress Repair

    4.6 out of 5.0 stars

    From $50.00

    Restores balance and resilience while repairing visible skin stress and strengthening the barrier.

    If you’re dealing with dullness, redness, or stressed skin, Bioadaptive Stress Repair is such a lifesaver. After just a month, I’ve noticed I don’t even feel the need to wear tinted makeup every day. My clients tell me they start feeling more confident in their skin within just a few weeks. Use it as the last step before SPF for the best results; I especially love pairing it with Dynamic Age Defense SPF that lasts up to 8 hours!

    Laziza SFounder & Head Esthetician

    Outsmart Aging While You Sleep

    Bioadaptive Stress Repair harnesses advanced DiamondCore technology, a diamond-augmented zinc oxide that neutralizes 80% of damaging free radicals and doubles the penetration of paired ingredients. With consistent use, skin wakes looking firmer, brighter, and more youthful. Apply one to two pumps after your serums at least once daily; for most skin types, it can replace your moisturizer.

    A Tech-Savvy Approach to Aging

    This serum delivers sculpting hexapeptides that help smooth expression lines while actively supporting collagen synthesis. It also includes a Reconstructive Barrier Complex that strengthens the skin's defenses and helps prevent future stress-related damage from accumulating. The complex mimics the skin’s own barrier, helping it rebuild and better hold on to moisture.

    Smart Protection That Adapts to You

    Powered by patented DiamondCore zinc oxide, this formula goes beyond basic repair. It adapts to your skin’s unique environment, defending against environmental aggressors while soothing signs of stress. The lightweight texture absorbs easily, making it ideal for layering under or over other skincare for continuous comfort and support.

    A Night-Time Ritual for Repaired Skin

    Ideal for overnight use, this serum is engineered to strengthen the skin’s natural repair mechanisms and restore complexion balance. It is especially effective for skin showing stress, aging, or redness, promoting visible renewal while you rest. Smooth it on after your evening serums, and its peptides help signal the skin to repair, firm, and rebuild itself overnight.

    What Is BioJuve?

    BIOJUVE uses live probiotics, specifically its patented Xycrobe technology, to restore and support your skin's natural microbiome. It works at the biological level to calm inflammation, boost hydration, smooth fine lines, and strengthen defenses. This kit holds minis of the Conditioning Cleanse, Biome Support Complex, and Hydrating Barrier Cream.

    Your Skin’s Microbiome, To-Go

    Even though all BIOJUVE full-size products are TSA-friendly, sometimes you just need less space. This 7-day travel set makes it easy to stay consistent without overpacking, perfect for short trips, gym bags, or testing the routine before committing to full sizes. It is also gentle enough to use in the first forty-eight hours after microneedling.

    Why Biojuve Works

    BIOJUVE uses live probiotics through Xycrobe technology to restore your skin's microbiome, the ecosystem that keeps your skin healthy, balanced, and resilient against daily stressors and environmental aggressors. Because the probiotics are alive, the evening step is simple: apply the serum and mist blend on its own, without layering other products over it, so they can thrive.

    Works With Your Skin, Not Just on It

    BIOJUVE helps reduce redness and irritation, boost hydration and radiance, improve tone, texture, and fine lines, and support collagen and long-term skin health with consistent use of its probiotic-powered formulas. It suits all skin types, including skin prone to breakouts, rosacea, or a damaged barrier. Many people find the routine simple to follow, which makes consistency easier.

  • SIV

    Biome Balancing Serum

    From $68.00

    Supports the skin’s microbiome with spore-based technology to calm irritation, boost hydration, and restore balance.

    If you struggle with acne, rosacea, eczema, or dermatitis, SIV is such a game-changer. It helps balance the skin microbiome so your skin feels calmer, clearer, and more resilient. I love how lightweight it is, you can use it morning or night without it interfering with the rest of your routine.

    Laziza SFounder & Head Esthetician

    Restores Skin Harmony

    The Biome Balancing Serum works in sync with your skin’s natural biology to create a healthy, resilient complexion. Its spore-based formula uses quorum-sensing technology to nurture a balanced skin microbiome, helping your skin stay calm, hydrated, and strong against everyday stressors. Shake it well before use, then apply two to five drops to a clean, dry face once daily.

    Powered by Advanced Microbiome Science

    With a proprietary blend of Bacillus spores, this serum supports your skin at its foundation, helping keep the different types of bacteria on your skin in balance. This balance helps reduce visible irritation, soothe sensitive areas, and promote skin harmony. It is a good fit for skin dealing with breakouts, rosacea, redness, or a damaged barrier.

    Hydration That Lasts

    Featuring squalane from non-GMO sugarcane, caprylic/capric triglyceride, and glyceryl caprylate, the formula locks in moisture while mimicking your skin’s natural oils. This keeps the barrier soft, smooth, and hydrated without clogging pores. Squalane is lightweight and stable, and glyceryl caprylate, derived from glycerin and plant fatty acids, helps regulate the skin’s moisture levels.

    Safe for All Skin Types

    Tested and approved by skin specialists, this serum is non-comedogenic, gentle, and suitable for dry, normal, oily, and sensitive skin. It is gentle enough for everyday use while being powerful enough to help restore balance to stressed or disrupted skin. Its lightweight feel works morning or night without interfering with the rest of your routine.

  • Biojuve

    Biome Support Complex

    4.9 out of 5.0 stars

    $150.00

    Postbiotic serum with Xycrobe Technology™ that calms inflammation, smooths texture, and restores skin’s healthy glow.

    I like the Biojuve Biome Support Complex because it fits several different situations. For clients using the Biojuve evening serum, it helps keep the live bacteria thriving during the day. For reactive skin, it soothes without upsetting the balance of bacteria on your skin. After microneedling, your skin needs moisture but nothing anti-inflammatory, because inflammation produces the growth factors that build new collagen. This serum locks in moisture without feeling heavy or being occlusive, which is why I recommend it for the first 48 hours after microneedling.

    Laziza SFounder & Head Esthetician

    Strengthen Your Skin’s Microbiome

    Biome Support Complex is a postbiotic-rich serum that helps nourish and balance your skin’s natural ecosystem. By keeping the bacteria on your skin in balance, it promotes healthier, clearer skin while improving hydration and resilience, creating a foundation for long-term skin wellness. Microbe-derived proteins help train the skin’s microbiome, strengthening the barrier and calming visible redness.

    Powered by Living Biome-Friendly Science

    Formulated with BIOJUVE’s proprietary Xycrobe Technology, this serum delivers powerful postbiotics that feed and strengthen your skin’s microbiome. This helps reduce visible redness, smooth texture, and support optimal skin function for a vibrant, youthful-looking complexion. Antioxidants in the formula help defend against free radical damage and keep skin looking healthy and vibrant.

    Ideal for All Skin Types

    Whether your skin is dry, oily, sensitive, or acne-prone, Biome Support Complex helps restore balance. Its lightweight, non-greasy formula layers easily with other skincare products, making it a versatile addition to any routine. Apply one to two pumps to clean, dry skin on the face and neck, and let it absorb before the rest of your routine.

    Postbiotic Care for Real Results

    More than just hydration, this serum strengthens your skin barrier, minimizes irritation, and creates a balanced environment for clearer, healthier-looking skin. Results continue to improve with consistent daily use over time. Polypeptides, short chains of amino acids, signal the skin to produce more collagen and elastin, supporting a smoother, more resilient complexion.

  • Plated

    Body Serum

    $338.00

    Exosome body serum for damage repair, crepey skin, thinning skin, and loss of firmness.

    I recommend Plated Body Serum to anyone dealing with crepey skin, fine lines, redness, or uneven tone on the body. It is also genuinely valuable for clients who have accumulated a lot of damage over the years, especially from inadequate sun protection, because that kind of damage always shows up eventually on body skin. The sooner you start repairing it, the better the long-term result. This is a smart place to start. Since it increases cell turnover similar to how retinoid does it, make sure to exfoliate at least twice a week. I use the Epicuren scrub.

    Laziza SFounder & Head Esthetician

    Regenerative Exosome Serum Built for Body Skin

    Plated Body Serum is the first platelet-derived exosome serum designed specifically for total-body renewal. Powered by Renewosome technology, it visibly tightens crepey and thinning skin, enhances firmness and elasticity, supports smoother younger-looking skin, and reduces the appearance of brown spots and redness. Lightweight and fast-absorbing, it is clinically proven and suitable for all skin types including sensitive.

    Targets Crepey Skin and Loss of Firmness

    Body skin loses collagen and elasticity over time, showing up as crepey texture and looseness on the arms, chest, legs, and knees. Plated Body Serum uses the same exosome technology behind the brand's clinically proven face serums, reformulated specifically for the thicker, slower-renewing skin of the body. It visibly tightens and firms where it matters most, with results that build with continued use.

    Smooths Texture and Restores Radiance

    Rough, uneven texture on the body is often the result of slowed cell renewal and accumulated environmental stress. Plated Body Serum works to support the skin's own regenerative processes, helping restore a smoother surface and a more radiant, healthy-looking appearance. The lightweight formula absorbs quickly, making it easy to apply across larger areas of the body without feeling heavy or greasy.

    Evens Tone From Neck to Toe

    Uneven tone on the body often develops gradually from sun exposure, friction, and the natural slowing of cell turnover with age. Plated Body Serum is designed to support a more even-looking complexion everywhere it is applied, extending the same regenerative approach used on the face to the rest of the body for more consistent, healthier-looking skin overall.

  • Hale & Hush

    Broad Spectrum Natural SPF30

    $34.00

    Lightweight SPF for sensitive, post-procedure, redness-prone, and reactive skin.

    If you have reactive skin, it can be really hard to find an SPF that actually works for you because sometimes it’s not the zinc itself causing the issue, but all the additional ingredients added into the formula. Hale & Hush Broad Spectrum SPF 30 was formulated specifically with reactive and rosacea-prone skin in mind. My clients who helped me test this SPF and have very reactive skin said their skin just really loves this one.

    Laziza SFounder & Head Esthetician

    All-Mineral SPF 30 for Sensitive, Reactive Skin

    Hale and Hush Broad Spectrum SPF 30 is an all-mineral sunscreen formulated for sensitive, reactive, rosacea-prone, and post-procedure skin. Zinc oxide is its only UV filter, providing broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection, while calming botanicals and antioxidants support skin health through the day. It blends without a white cast, and its faint sandalwood scent fades quickly. Pregnancy safe and oncology safe.

    Protects Without Irritating Reactive Skin

    Some people with sensitive skin find that certain sunscreens leave them flushed or stinging. Hale and Hush SPF 30 uses zinc oxide as its only active, a mineral filter that stays in the topmost layer of the skin, where it absorbs UV and turns it into heat. For rosacea-prone and sensitized skin, this can make a real difference in daily comfort.

    Calms Redness While It Protects

    Applying sunscreen to already-reactive skin should not make redness worse. This formula contains calming botanical actives that reduce the inflammatory response, visibly settle redness, and support barrier health while the zinc oxide does its protective work. For skin that tends to flush after sun exposure or new products, this pairing of protection and calming makes an effective daily final step.

    Hydrates and Wears Comfortably All Day

    You are more likely to wear sunscreen every day when it feels good on your skin. Hale and Hush SPF 30 contains macadamia seed oil, glycerin, and lightweight emollients that keep skin comfortable and balanced, while red algae extract helps soften dryness. The formula blends without a white cast across all skin tones. Allow a full minute for it to set before applying makeup.

    Calm Serum

    5.0 out of 5.0 stars

    $258.00

    A watery exosome serum that soothes irritation, strengthens the barrier, and calms redness and sensitivity.

    f you’re struggling with redness, rosacea, barrier damage, or sensitivity, Calm Serum is my go-to. It instantly soothes irritation, helps strengthen the barrier, and makes reactive skin feel more balanced. I recommend it post-procedure too, since it helps calm and comfort the skin while supporting recovery.

    Laziza SFounder & Head Esthetician

    Calm Skin. Restore Balance.

    The Calm Serum is designed for skin that needs a reset. Whether you are dealing with redness, irritation, sensitivity, or flare-ups after procedures, this soothing formula helps restore a healthier-looking complexion and delivers fast relief while working to strengthen your skin's barrier over time. Beta glucan adds soothing, hydrating, and barrier-strengthening support.

    Powered by Platelet Science

    This serum features plated's proprietary Renewosome technology, exosomes enriched with over 800 growth factors and anti-inflammatory cytokines. These bio-identical messengers help signal repair, reduce irritation, and support your skin's natural healing processes, especially when it is under stress. Amino acids, the building blocks of collagen and elastin, add hydration and help protect the skin barrier.

    Gentle Enough for Reactive Skin

    Every detail of this serum is crafted for tolerance and comfort. It is fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and tested for sensitive skin. With a silky, non-greasy finish, it layers easily into any skincare routine, even after in-office procedures or during barrier repair protocols. Apply it to clean skin as the very first step, before your hydrator.

    Long-Term Relief and Resilience

    Used consistently, the Calm Serum helps your skin become less reactive, with improved hydration and reduced flushing. It is ideal for anyone navigating rosacea-prone skin, chronic sensitivity, or skin that feels overworked or stripped. It is also a calming choice after professional procedures, supporting comfort and recovery.

  • Hydrinity

    CELTHERA Advanced Overnight Repair Cream

    From $20.00

    Overnight repair cream with growth factor technology, NAD+, seven ceramides, and Centella Secretome for renewal.

    If you want a moisturizer that works on signs of aging and barrier repair at the same time, Hydrinity CELTHERA Cream does both. It combines growth factors, peptides and barrier repair ingredients in one moisturizer, which is basically what I look for in an anti-aging moisturizer. The texture is medium, not heavy and not too light. It is formulated not to clog pores, and your skin feels comfortable without feeling greasy. If your skin is very oily and you prefer a gel, this may feel richer than you want in summer.

    Laziza SFounder & Head Esthetician

    Supports Cellular Repair and Renewal Overnight

    CELTHERA pairs overnight hydration with ExoEGF Technology, a biomimetic exosome system that delivers Oligopeptide-1, a growth factor that supports cellular communication and energy production in the skin. While you sleep, during the skin's natural repair cycle, it helps signal cells to renew more efficiently for visibly improved texture, firmness, and radiance by morning.

    NAD+ Support Restores Cellular Energy and Skin Vitality

    Cellular energy drives every process that keeps skin looking healthy, from collagen production to barrier repair to overnight renewal. As NAD+ levels decline with age, these processes slow down. Sunflower Sprout Extract in CELTHERA supports NAD+ production in the skin, helping restore the energy that powers overnight repair, so skin wakes up looking more rested, resilient, and radiant.

    Centella Secretome Rebuilds Collagen and Calms Inflammation

    Inflammation is one of the most underestimated drivers of visible aging. Chronic low-grade inflammation breaks down collagen, disrupts barrier function, and accelerates the accumulation of discoloration and texture changes. The Centella Secretome Stem Cell Concentrate in CELTHERA addresses this directly while simultaneously supporting collagen and elastin remodeling. Skin becomes progressively calmer, firmer, and more even-toned with consistent overnight use.

    Multi-Ceramide Barrier Blend Seals and Protects

    CELTHERA's Multi-Ceramide Barrier Blend combines seven ceramides with essential fatty acids to rebuild the barrier's structural foundation, while the ExoEGF Technology and growth factors work on cellular renewal beneath it. This dual approach supports the barrier and cellular renewal at the same time, and skin that uses it consistently becomes more resilient over time.

  • SkinBetter Science

    Cleansing Gel

    4.9 out of 5.0 stars

    From $16.00

    Gentle foaming cleanser that removes impurities and makeup while soothing sensitive skin.

    SkinBetter Cleansing Gel is one of those products that does exactly what a cleanser should. It removes sunscreen and makeup without needing a second cleanser, does not burn, has no smell, and skin just feels clean and comfortable after, not tight or stripped. Clients who switch to this always comment on how little they need per wash. It works for everyone and it is especially great if you are already using SkinBetter actives and want a cleanser that does not undo the barrier work you are doing with the rest of your routine. I wouldn't recommend this cleanser for dry to very dry skin.

    Laziza SFounder & Head Esthetician

    Gentle Daily Cleansing for All Skin Types

    SkinBetter Cleansing Gel is a refreshing, foaming cleanser that washes away makeup, excess oil, and impurities without stripping your skin. Its mild formula works for all skin types, even sensitive or compromised skin, making it a dependable choice for morning and evening routines. Massage it into damp skin for one minute, then rinse with lukewarm water.

    Non-Stripping, Hydration-Friendly Formula

    This cleanser is soap- and sulfate-free, ensuring a deep cleanse that preserves your skin’s natural moisture barrier. Glycerin helps attract and lock in hydration, leaving your skin feeling soft and comfortable instead of tight or dry. Its mild formula is also suitable for post-procedure skin that needs a gentle cleanse.

    Soothing Botanicals for Skin Comfort

    Infused with aloe vera, chamomile, and cucumber extracts, SkinBetter Cleansing Gel calms and refreshes the skin while delivering a clean, healthy-looking glow. These botanicals work in harmony to reduce visible redness and support a balanced complexion. Cucumber extract is calming and cooling, making it especially helpful for sensitive or irritated skin, while aloe replenishes moisture.

    Gentle Formula, Dermatologist Tested

    Formulated without parabens, fragrance, or dyes, this cruelty-free cleanser has been tested for safety and tolerance, making it ideal for those who want an effective yet gentle start to their skincare routine. It is also sulfate-free, silicone-free, vegan, and pregnancy safe, and works well morning and evening.

  • Vivant

    Cleansing Milk

    5.0 out of 5.0 stars

    $26.00

    Removes buildup while soothing dry, sensitive skin.

    I recommend Vivant Skincare Cleansing Milk for clients with dry skin who want a cleanser that won’t strip the skin. It can also be used with a cotton pad as a gentle makeup remover or as the first step in a double cleanse. I especially like it for travel - it works well on flights or when hiking or camping, when water isn’t easily accessible.

    Laziza SFounder & Head Esthetician

    Dissolves Oil Without Stripping Skin

    Vivant Cleansing Milk gently dissolves oil, dirt, and daily residue while maintaining the skin’s natural moisture balance. The creamy formula cleans effectively without leaving skin tight or dry, making it especially helpful for delicate or compromised skin types that cannot tolerate strong foaming cleansers. It also works as a gentle makeup remover.

    Supports Fragile And Sensitive Skin

    The formula uses moisturizing emollients and humectants that help protect the skin’s barrier during cleansing. Instead of disrupting the skin’s natural oils, it works to lift impurities while leaving essential moisture behind, which is important for rosacea-prone, inflamed, or post-procedure skin that requires extra care.

    Leaves Skin Soft, Calm, And Comfortable

    After cleansing, skin feels supple, hydrated, and calm rather than stripped or reactive. The nourishing texture helps soften dry patches and reduce the tight feeling that often follows cleansing. Over time, consistent use supports smoother texture and a more comfortable skin environment. Grape seed oil softens and conditions the skin while offering antioxidant protection.

    Ideal For Very Dry, Reactive, Or Mature Skin

    This cleanser is especially well suited for very dry, dry-combination, sensitive, rosacea-prone, or mature skin types. Its ultra-gentle formula also makes it appropriate for delicate situations such as post-surgical skin or extremely fragile skin that requires cleansing without irritation. Since it can be wiped off with a cotton pad, it also suits travel and camping when water is hard to find.

    Medical-Grade Carboxytherapy in a Gel Mask

    CO2Lift Pro is the advanced, professional-strength version of the original CO2Lift mask, delivering deeper hydration, enhanced skin tightening, and more dramatic rejuvenation with each use. Designed for in-office or at-home use under provider guidance, this formula elevates your skincare routine with clinical-level results and no downtime.

    Stimulates Oxygenation and Collagen Naturally

    This mask uses carbon dioxide to trigger a natural process called the Bohr Effect, increasing oxygen delivery to skin cells. The result: boosted collagen production, better circulation, and visibly firmer, smoother, and more radiant skin, especially helpful for dullness, fine lines, and skin laxity. Sodium hyaluronate hydrates deeply and improves elasticity for smoother, plumper skin.

    Instant Results, Zero Downtime

    Within one 45-minute session, you will notice increased hydration, smoother texture, and a lifted appearance. The cooling gel is easy to apply, mess-free, and requires no recovery time, which suits providers and clients looking for fast, visible results without irritation. For best results, use it in a series of three, spaced five to seven days apart.

    Safe for All Skin Types and Post-Procedure Use

    CO2Lift Pro is hypoallergenic, non-invasive, and designed to calm and restore even the most sensitive skin. It is frequently used after peels or laser, following your provider's aftercare, to reduce redness and speed up healing. After microneedling, wait forty-eight hours before using it, unless your provider gave you specific aftercare for that window. It is also gentle enough for rosacea-prone skin.

It is gentle enough for daily application, yet powerful enough to address fine lines, dullness, and visible signs of stress. Its gel texture leaves skin looking refreshed and bouncy.

    Powered by Exosome Technology

    At the heart of the formula is plated's exclusive Renewosome technology, lab-engineered exosomes that deliver over 800 growth factors and anti-inflammatory cytokines directly to your skin. These biologically active messengers help mimic your skin's own regenerative signals, encouraging better repair and visible rejuvenation.

  • Environ

    Defence Creme

    $126.00

    Vitamin-rich moisturizer that supports skin health, hydration, and healthy aging.

    The antioxidants in this cream are what make it such a great anti-aging moisturizer and honestly why I love recommending it. It does a lot in one product. You can use it on its own if you want to keep things simple, cleanse, apply this, and finish with SPF, or you can layer it with other products for a more targeted routine. The texture is medium, really pleasant, not heavy but still works for dry skin. My minimalist clients love it and my more advanced clients use it as part of a fuller routine. It just works either way.

    Laziza SFounder & Head Esthetician

    Antioxidant-Rich Cream That Hydrates, Firms, and Protects

    Environ Vita-Antioxidant Defence Creme is a medium-weight moisturizer built around vitamins C and E, green tea antioxidant and rosemary extract, with panthenol, jojoba oil and squalane for hydration and comfort. Use it morning and evening, either on its own between cleanser and sunscreen or as the final step over your C-Quence serum. It suits all skin types, including dry skin.

    Defends Against Free Radical Damage

    Sun, pollution and everyday stress create unstable molecules called free radicals, which break down collagen and speed up visible aging. Defence Creme layers several antioxidants to neutralize them: vitamin C, vitamin E, epigallocatechin gallate from green tea, rosemary leaf extract and xanthophyll, a plant carotenoid. With daily use alongside sunscreen, they help protect your skin from this damage over time.

    Hydrates and Supports Your Skin Barrier

    The formula carries a blend of ingredients your skin already uses to hold water, including urea, sodium lactate, serine and sorbitol, alongside glycerin and panthenol. Jojoba, sunflower, safflower and soybean oils with squalane add a thin layer of oils and fats that slows water loss, and allantoin soothes. Together they keep your barrier supported and your skin soft and comfortable.

    Brightens and Evens Skin Tone

    Dullness and uneven tone often come from sun exposure that builds up over years. The vitamin C in Defence Creme is ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate, an oil-soluble form that stays stable in the jar and helps slow the production of excess pigment. With consistent twice-daily use and daily sunscreen, skin looks brighter and more even, with a healthier glow.

  • Revision

    D·E·J Eye Cream

    $125.00

    Helps improve fine lines, crepiness, eyelid hooding, and firmness around the eyes.

    If you're starting to notice crepey skin, fine lines, eyelid hooding, or loss of firmness around the eyes, Revision D.E.J Eye Cream helps address all of those concerns at the same time. I especially like that it was specifically designed to be used on the upper eyelid, since very few eye creams are formulated with that area in mind. If these concerns are just beginning, this is actually the ideal time to start, because the eye area tends to age faster than the rest of the face and prevention is always easier than correction.

    Laziza SFounder & Head Esthetician

    Clinically Proven to Address the Total Eye Area

    Revision Skincare D·E·J Eye Cream is a clinically proven eye cream for the Dermal-Epidermal Junction, the structural layer between the skin's two main layers that flattens with age. It addresses eyelid hooding, droopiness, crepiness, crow's feet, fine lines, and redness, with visible results in as early as four weeks. Fragrance-free and appropriate for all skin types.

    What the DEJ Is and Why It Matters

    The Dermal-Epidermal Junction is the structural interface between the dermis and epidermis that gives skin its bounce, firmness, and the wavy texture of a youthful complexion. With age it flattens and becomes thinner, a key driver of sagging, crepiness, and loss of elasticity around the eyes. D·E·J Eye Cream targets this junction to address aging at a structural level.

    Addresses Eyelid Hooding and Droopiness

    D·E·J Eye Cream is clinically proven to address the total eye area, including the eyelids, where hooding and droopiness develop as structural support declines. By targeting the DEJ and stimulating collagen and elastin synthesis across the orbital area, it produces a visible lifting and tightening effect that extends from the under-eye to the eyelid and brow area over time.

    Reduces Crow's Feet, Crepiness, and Fine Lines

    The skin in the crow's feet area and on the eyelids is among the thinnest and most mobile on the face, so lines there deepen quickly. D·E·J Eye Cream contains a peptide complex and collagen-stimulating actives that work at the DEJ level to visibly reduce the depth of crow's feet, smooth crepey texture, and improve elasticity around the eyes.

  • Pavise

    Extracellular Matrix Restore

    $278.00

    A regenerative formula that supports post-procedure healing and strengthens skin structure.

    I recommend the Pavise Extracellular Matrix Serum for recovery after all treatments, including microneedling. In the first few days after microneedling we avoid lipids, but starting around day 3+, when the skin often feels much drier, this is one of my favorite products to introduce. It helps keep the skin calm, supports collagen, and assists the rebuilding process while the skin is healing.

    One of the reasons I like this formula is because it contains growth factors. Growth factors are signaling proteins that help guide the skin to repair itself and produce healthier new cells, which makes them especially helpful during the regeneration phase after treatments like peels.

    Laziza SFounder & Head Esthetician

    Supports Skin Recovery After Procedures

    Pavise Extracellular Matrix Restore is designed to support the skin during recovery from aesthetic procedures. Acting like a bioactive second skin, the formula helps guide how the skin repairs itself, promoting smoother healing and a more balanced, comfortable recovery process. After microneedling, it can be introduced around day three, when skin is ready for supportive serums.

    Helps Rebuild The Skin’s Structural Network

    This formula focuses on supporting the extracellular matrix, the structural framework responsible for skin strength, elasticity, and resilience. Peptides, recombinant collagen, and growth factors help signal the skin to rebuild key structural components that support firmness and long-term skin integrity. Palmitoyl peptides support collagen production and help strengthen this matrix, while recombinant growth factors help signal regeneration.

    Improves Hydration, Firmness, And Skin Quality

    By supporting collagen production and hyaluronic acid levels, the formula helps improve visible skin texture and firmness. The combination of peptides, ceramides, and antioxidants also helps calm inflammation and reduce oxidative stress, allowing the skin to recover more efficiently and maintain a healthier appearance. Follow with a moisturizer if your skin feels dry.

    Ideal For Post-Procedure Skin And Advanced Repair

    Extracellular Matrix Restore is especially helpful for individuals undergoing professional procedures such as lasers, microneedling, or resurfacing procedures. It supports faster skin recovery while reinforcing structural repair, making it a useful addition to routines focused on skin regeneration and post-procedure care. It also suits recovery after peels, when growth factors help guide the regeneration phase.

It preps the skin to absorb serums and moisturizers more effectively. The PC10 Complex supports barrier health, improves hydration, and enhances the skin's natural defenses, which makes it a good fit for reactive skin.

    Gentle Yet Effective Formula

    Combining the power of amino acids with natural antioxidants, this cleanser gently removes dirt, oil, and impurities without stripping skin’s moisture. It supports the skin’s natural barrier and keeps skin balanced and hydrated. Massage a small amount into damp skin until it foams, then rinse thoroughly, and repeat if you are removing light makeup.

    A Foaming Cleanser That Does Not Dry Skin

    Enjoy a light, foaming cleanse that effectively removes impurities without stripping your skin’s natural moisture. This formula leaves your skin feeling soft, comfortable, and balanced rather than tight. It is a barrier-friendly choice for anyone who loves the feel of a foaming cleanser and still wants skin to feel comfortable after every wash.
