Ingredient Guide for Post-Microneedling Care

Choosing the right ingredients for post-microneedling care is as important as the treatment itself. The wrong ingredients cause inflammation. The right ones amplify collagen production.

Safe Ingredients

• Ceramides – restore the lipid barrier; safe to use immediately after treatment
• Niacinamide (2-5%) – supports barrier function and reduces inflammation
• Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) – accelerates wound healing and reduces transepidermal water loss
• Centella Asiatica – improves collagen synthesis and has anti-inflammatory effects
• Copper Peptides – support collagen production when introduced 48 hours post-treatment
• Hyaluronic Acid – provides hydration through the micro-channels
• Zinc Oxide – physical UV protection that does not irritate compromised skin

Avoid These Ingredients for 48-72 Hours

• Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) – low pH causes stinging on compromised skin
• Retinoids (Retinol, Tretinoin) – increase sensitivity and slow barrier recovery
• Alpha Hydroxy Acids (Glycolic, Lactic) – exfoliate the fragile new skin layer
• Beta Hydroxy Acid (Salicylic) – penetrates deeply through micro-channels and causes irritation
• Benzoyl Peroxide – too drying for recovering skin
• Essential Oils – fragrance components that can cause contact dermatitis
